This strategy sets out the way forward for Scotland to engage more with the international software industry, build critical mass, and develop a more innovative, dynamic self-sustaining software community. In preparing it, Ernst & Young has undertaken an analysis of the current state of Scotland’s industry and of key global industry trends. We have consulted with a wide range of Scottish software firms, a sample of software customers in Scotland, and important support organisations. We have also analysed other regions that show some similarities with the Scottish situation and we have brought together key Scottish players to generate ideas for future development.
As a result, we have a dataset that allows clear identification of structural weaknesses in the Scottish industry and barriers to its future development in terms of size, structure and resources. These allow us to highlight major strategic themes within which we set out specific programmes.
