Why China?

The executive team at LineBeyond shares a common vision and commitment to deliver unique value to our customers by harnessing the vast potential of offshore IT development and services in China. China is more than a source of low cost technical talent. Its culture embodies an exciting combination of optimism, work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit and curiosity. The key to unleashing China's potential is in the creation of a resource pool that combines raw talent and IT skills with an intense focus on domain knowledge. By imparting an understanding of business drivers and their respective vocabularies, the process of developing effective solutions is greatly accelerated. When this happens, offshore development in China can truly be considered as an active extension of the business itself.

An example can be seen with what LineBeyond has accomplished for the financial services industry. LineBeyond brought together experts in building applications that are currently being used in banks and brokerages. Knowing that the state of trading systems in production today was obsolete, LineBeyond had an ambition to build a high-speed trading system using hardware messaging and complex event processing technologies. The enthusiasm of the Chinese team to acquire an understanding of the domain and the willingness to apply cutting-edge technologies greatly expedited the project. Team members viewed this as a tremendous opportunity to learn and spent many hours of their own time doing their own research. In less than one week, the questions we heard seemed to come from seasoned professionals. Complete and detailed requirement specifications, usually the most tedious but critical elements of an IT solution, emerged within a few weeks with only high-level guidance. In six months, we had the completed solution, an impressed client, and a confident team. Today, LineBeyond is actively engaged in deploying this solution to one of the largest brokerage entities in Asia.

This model can readily be applied to any domain from which experts can be brought to bear. At LineBeyond, we work with like-minded business partners who have a clear vision for a solution that is needed in their space. We are able to bring together technology partners from Silicon Valley and beyond to define an advantageous operating concept. Once the objective is defined, LineBeyond leverages its expertise in offshore development and global network in order to maximize local advantages, to prepare the optimal communication, development, and QA environments, to recruit the necessary skills, and to implement and manage an efficient project schedule. Domains we serve today include insurance claims and business process management (BPM) technologies, health care and clinical workflow, telecoms and provisioning systems, energy trading, retail systems and inventory control, manufacturing control systems and the list continues to grow.
