Another acquisition, another sign of the times
The news this week featured the ITC Infotech's acquisition of a QA Consulting firm Pyxis. What this indicates is two things:
1. The mergers and acquistions wave hasn't died out yet. Started in Dec 2006 with the Kanbay acquisition by Capgemini and the trend continues despite the financial crisis.
2. Indian companies (mid-tier) now understand that they have to change in character to look and be more global in terms of their workforce. This will give them entry and acceptance into markets such as the US and Europe.
3. Most distressingly, it hints at the Software Testing market becoming commoditized. It's no longer considered neccessary to spawn a Software Testing practice organically. You can go to the market and just buy one up. Meaning there are no substantial differentiators in an already tight market.
That's the reason it's even more important to have a product in testing (even open source) and services around that and others. Just my 0.02$.
