Why Offshore Software Development Is Your Best Bet?

Ian J.H Reynolds -

  • No new infrastructure required

    One Huge advantage of hiring an offshore software development company is that you do not need to create and manage a development team at all. Project start-up can take off more quickly if you do not need to consider the infrastructure and the setup of your own development center.

  • Time zone differences working with people overseas

    This is a benefit or a problem depending on how you look at it. It is always desirable to have some overlapping between the local and remote work hours so you can meet and resolve issues quickly. Besides that, you may greatly benefit having a team with some hours ahead or behind your local time.

  • Shared responsibility

    Risk management in software development is usually underestimated by most non-IT companies. When deciding to outsource a given component, the parties agree on what has to be done, and the impact and risk management is shared among them.

  • Open communication

    Clear communication in any work environment is paramount but it is especially important when offshoring. You need a partner who speaks clear English, can be available to work during your waking hours and is readily available and responsive to all communication channels.
