Changing business models are reshaping the Chinese software industry. Perhaps most notably, many companies now choose to sell their software as a web service instead of or in addition to a traditional upfront licensing model. This translates to more predictable, recurring revenue, which can be seen as a significant benefit to investors. More broadly, as the continuous cycle of product development continues, software companies face a variety of financial and operational challenges, including increasingly complicated financial reporting rules, and tax regulations in China.
