Outsourced product development is an increasing trend due to the transitory nature of markets, customer expectations and technologies. Today’s product companies are more customer-facing and focused on improving customer satisfaction with better support and a wider range of innovative services. 
Outsourced product development under any circumstances is full of pitfalls. Moving it to an offshore development center can exacerbate management and other common problems.
More and more enterprises, however, are in the process of, or considering moving product development offshore. This is partly because it makes economic sense and partly because trust is growing in offshore development centers in countries such as India. ACS's product development division focuses on developing and deploying intellectual property in the form of solution frameworks on various technologies such as J2EE, .NET, SOA/Web Services and RFID. Because we have near shore development centers and resources in India, we can offer round-the-clock product development services. Our near shore development centers ensure you always have hands-on technical support standing by. ACS offers development services that can be utilized throughout all phases of product development, ranging from conception, implementation and deployment to maintenance. Our services fall in three categories: - Product sale: ACS provides specific components built on industry
standards as standalone products with plug-and-play functionality for a
fixed, one-time fee.
- Customization of intellectual property
portfolio: ACS extends a custom services agreement for integration of
our standards-based IP in the form of components and tools with our
client’s solutions and products.
- Custom product development:
ACS’s core team has more than 200 man years of product development
experience in high-end technology areas such as J2EE/Web Services and
close to a decade’s experience developing products on traditional
platform/technologies. This makes us the ideal choice for outsourced
product development.
