Offshore Software Outsourcing
Traditionally there are two sectors of business
that look to outsource
software solutions:
- A) General:
This includes any business house who needs
customized
software application, redesign their existing software
or website, support the existing software with some minor
changes to be done in order to control and push their business
upwards in the present day economy.
- B) Specific:
Here we include only on the software companies who look
to outsource their software requirements on the basis of
reasons of lower development costs, their expansion plans,
etc. This may include the outsourcing of whole departments
or large projects like
Enterprise
Application Integration,etc.
Every time you decide to start upon the development
of a new project, several important questions come up, by
default. These may relate to the technological capabilities
of the company, the manpower to be utilized for the same project,
the infrastructure
facilities available on hand, etc. This is the case when you
decide to take up the project by yourself performing under
your limitations. But say if you outsource the same to an
Offshore
company (Of course after evaluating one thoroughly!!),
these issues are to be handled by the service provider and
not you. You will surely be involved in the project throughout
the development stage, but then you can focus purely on the
segment that you are working on and leave the rest for the
offshore service provider. Hence just think about the benefits
that you get by outsourcing offshore to countries like India:
- Cost Factor: You benefit the
most in cost factor -- the major attraction seen by
companies outsourcing their software requirements.
And this cost reduction can be as low as 30% of your
development costs, say in the US. This is because
you can exploit the offshore prices, which are quite
low as compared to onshore prices in the US. India
gives you excellent quality
assurances in your project at the lowest possible
rates.
- Another major benefit is your
control over the budget and timeframe of the project.
Because as soon as you decide upon your offshore service
provider, you need to agree upon all the factors of
the development project which include the specifications,
payment conditions, dates of delivery of the project,
etc. India enjoys a geographical advantage with the
US considering the time difference between both the
zones. This makes you receive 24/7 support, which
is one of the utmost important factors in the project.
This is one of the reasons, major corporates are looking
towards India for their call center operations, with
a lot of them already existing and developing in the
field. Apart from the call center companies, companies
like MachroTech LLC, with its state-of –the-art
offshore development
center in India, gives its global clients the facility
of 24/7 support.
- Access to an experienced team
of software developers with the knowledge of the field
that your company might not be working in. These helps
you exploit the offshore service provider’s resources
and lets you manage the project effectively. This
is important because the project management capabilities
need to be fully utilized to develop and implement
the project successfully and effectively. For example,
MachroTech, LLC, having a world-class offshore development
center in India, has the best developers of the industry
in its development team, having the best of experience
in
product
and application
development fields.
