Abstract

Teknoloji şirketlerinde yöneticiler, gelişen ve büyüyen dünyada her gün şirketleri adına önemli stratejik kararlar verirler. Yazılım geliştirme süreçleri ile çeşitli uygulamalar geliştiren teknoloji şirketleri için birçok alternatif kaynak ve konum bulunmaktadır. Giderlerin büyük çoğunluğunu insan kaynağına yapılan yatırımların meydana getirdiği bu şirketler, dış kaynak kullanımı ile maliyetleri azaltma, nitelikli insan kaynağına ulaşma, pazarda iş ve müşteri odaklı konumlanma, pazara yakın olma vb. nedenler ile yazılım geliştrime süreçlerinde alternatif dış kaynakları kullanmaya yönelebilmektedirler. Bu çalışmada, yöneticilerin BTY (Bilim, Teknoloji ve Yenilik) göstergeleri ile yazılım geliştirme süreçlerinde dış kaynak kullanımı için belirledikleri potansiyel lokasyonları değerlendirebilecekleri bir karar destek sistemi tasarlanmıştır. Ayrıca, örnek bir lokasyon olarak gelişmekte olan ülkeler arasında yer alan Pakistan incelenmiştir. Değerlendirme için seçilen Pakistan ile hızlı bir gelişim içerisinde olan ve en önemli dış lokasyonlar arasında bulunan BRICS (Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan, Çin, Güney Afrika) ülkeleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışma da belirlenen anahtar göstergeler, değerlendirilmesi planlanan alternatif lokasyonlar için özelleştirilebilir.

Thanks

A Decision Support Tool to Evaluate Software Outsourcing Locations with STI Indicators: A Case Study, Pakistan

Abstract

Managers in technology companies make substantial strategic decisions on behalf of their companies every day in the developing and growing world. There are many alternative resources and locations for technology companies that develop various applications with software development processes. These companies, where most of the expenses are made by investments in human resources, are to reduce costs through outsourcing, to reach qualified human resources, to be business and customer-oriented in the market, to be close to the market, etc. For reasons, they may tend to use alternative external resources in software development processes. In this study, a decision support system has been designed where managers can evaluate the STI (Science, Technology, and Innovation) indicators and potential locations they have identified for outsourcing in software development processes. In addition, Pakistan, which is among the developing countries, was examined as an exemplary location. Pakistan was selected for evaluation with BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries, which are in rapid development and are among the most significant external locations, were compared. Key indicators determined in the study can be customized for alternative locations that are planned to be evaluated.
