According to statistics issued by the International Data Corporation (IDC), Dalian is now the number one city in China in terms of its ability to develop software and information services, as well as for its ability to meet the needs of an international client base. It is also rated number five globally on the same criteria. The figures issued by the IDC form part of their global delivery index (GDI), introduced for the first time last year.

Right from the very early days of the park, the DLSP adopted a policy of "private management with government support". This dynamic and highly effective operational system has played a vital role in the rapid development of the site.

This policy has seen a software park and a science and technology new town, integrating production, education and research, emerge side by side. It is now recognized as one of the key Software Industry Centers of the National Torch Plan, a National Software Industry Center, a Model City for the Internationalization of the Software Industry and a National Software Export Center by various ministries and government institutions in China.

In 2004, it was designated as a Software Export Testing Center for Europe and America by the Ministry of Science and Technology and, in 2006, it became the first China Service Outsourcing Center & Model Park.

These awards come as recognition that the park has now clearly established its industrial platform and created a comprehensive industrial environment for software development, education and training and business services.

DLSP's professional operation and management team are committed to providing in-depth, overall business and living space solutions for software and service outsourcing businesses in the park. The team aims to provide a world-class service in all aspects of park planning, property management and supplementary services.

As a preferred cooperation partner for many multinationals, DLSP has won a number of plaudits from its international associates.
