China is rapidly becoming a top destination for offshore softwaredevelopment facilities due to its high-quality labor force, establishedinfrastructure, attractive pricing, low turnover, controlled inflation andincredible market potential. Like other companies that partner with Dextrys,Avid recognizes China as a significant new market and offshoring destination.
According to Gartner research, "The key elements driving interest includeChina's large resource pool, relative cost structure, solid infrastructureand, of late, increased central government support for the nascent outsourcingindustry."
