What is Offshore Development?
Offshore Development is simply software development at another location, where the actual development center is connected with the client's location using high-speed data communication system. The basic development methodology remains same irrespective of location of provider or client. The communication system and whole project management environment help engineers and managers to communicate on real-time basis. The clients monitor the development and schedule from a remove location, ensuring timely progress and required quality.

Businesses have different reasons for outsourcing their technology needs to offshore service providers. This can be 'lack of technical expertise in specific technology', 'lack of infrastructure', or 'saving development and operational costs'. Outsourcing to an experienced provider help you get all the benefits such as 'technical expertise', 'domain experience', 'professionals who know the real-life challenges of development scenarios', and that too at an affordable cost. Technology has facilitated instant communication and web sharing software to ensure optimal and consistent communication. It means that businesses consider the offshore development teams as mere extension of their in-house teams.

What can be the issues or problems in Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is like any other business alliance and the success or smooth operations during the alliance depend on how well it is planned. Many problems arise when the details are not discussed such as for post-release support and maintenance, the communication model is not well-defined, the requirements are not very well documented, or the teams do not discuss about automated testing.


What if I am not sure if I should outsource or not?
This is a common problem for many businesses. The first important step is to list down different sets for 'what you need', and 'what you have'. Map these sets and see if you need some external support, or to outsource the proposed solution?
Some important factors are:
  • I want XYZ technology but my team does not understand it. Is it financially viable if I hire new people and then train them, or should I train the in-house team for new technology?
  • I need additional space and that means more systems, software, networking equipments and other support facilities. This will also add more to my HR and accounts management team and to my own management tasks as well. Is it a good option?
  • Am I ready to embrace future technology needs? Is my team well-equipped to handle it?
  • My cost-benefit analysis of developing it in-house and to outsource it to offshore team reflects 30-40% cost savings. This is interesting!
