Abstract

Singapore enjoys the advantages of a conscientious and highly skilled workforce in the service and manufacturing software industries. Government institutions such as the National Computer Board (NCB) and the Ministry of Defense (MINDEF) have highly qualified in-house software support and development personnel. The majority of software developed in Singapore in the commercial sector is applications software. However, in the commercial sector, the software development industry is still in its infancy. Although multinational companies such as Hewlett-Packard have started to establish research and development centres in Singapore, the country must still overcome various obstacles before software development meets international standards
