In terms of vendor ratings, Neusoft, Hisoft and SinoCom held the top three positions in the first quarter. HiSoft’s marketshare climbed to position two by virtue of its acquisitions of both Ensemble International and Teksen last November. The research firm says China’s software outsourcing market concentration is low. The top 10 software outsourcing service providers’ marketshare accounted for only 19.2% of the market total in the first quarter.
