But cloud and SaaS delivery is best served by proximity and infrastructure reliability, and that may bring some changes to the Indian offshore model.
So far, U.S. companies have been the big players in developing software-as-a-service and cloud platforms for developers and enterprises. But Indian companies that used their low-wage advantages to build global firms are also moving into this area.
