technology - Mobile and services offer China chances

China is an upcoming force in outsourcing software develping, said Wang Wenjing, president of UFsoft during the ATRE conference today in Shanghai, taking on India.
China has now 2.8 million college graduates and 290 million mobile phones. Wang expect that China will use a different mobile, and focuses more on the mobile applications. "We do not have a history in using the PC and a keyboard, like the US has," Wang said. On top of that services will be large in China, as labor is still relative cheap.
UFsort is China's largest ERP vendor with 4,000 employees and 300,000 customers, says Wang. "India was ten years earlier than China, but we have great potential."
Most profitable vendors are now in the online games, Wang added.
Indian enterpreneurs disagreed. "Language skills most important," said one of them and would give China a generous second place after India as the most succesful market for outsourcing software development.
