First of all you have to pay sales people in order for them to call leads, channeling your offer through various chambers of commerce, trade shows and personal networks. When your sales folks find new prospect then you have to deploy sales engineer and ERP consultants for doing non-billable sales cycle job: executive demos, communicating with software vendor on pricing and modules compatibility questions and the list is just at its opening. When the deal is closed then where all expenses mentioned above should be paid from? Yes from two sources where the first one is software margin and the second one is generic implementation consulting hours.

They are probably project managers with programming and technical consulting background. It is quite possible to send final coding and Quality Assurance work down to offshore outlets. However the situation in the world is changing and such countries as Brazil, China, India and Russia which were formerly considered as good places for software developing outsourcing are getting richer. This fact dictates higher salaries or hourly rates making outsource strategy less and less attractive3. SAP Business One Technology Consulting.
