My PhD research investigated software development process improvement within BPO service provider organisations in India, which are in outsourcing relationship with clients in the UK’s financial institution. The study revealed that service providers that integrated IT into their organisation developed the application software required to process client services in-house. The development team embedded reusable software components into agile framework in order to quickly develop quality software, reduce turnaround time in processing of client’s services and deliver services with an acceptable level of quality. One of the major contributions of the study is the development of a BPO-IT framework, which could improve client and provider’s performances. Show less
