For organizations having no or little
exposure to the Offshore
Outsourcing business, Offshore Software Programming
is not a common terminology. While implementing the
offshore software
development strategy, they naturally ask: How do
I go offshore?
Seemingly a difficult question to ask,
basically, it is very simple to implement. You need
to follow the following steps to go offshore:
- Evaluate your Vendor: Trial Project
- Develop a Project Based Relationship
- Dedicated Teams
- Joint Venture
1. Assess your Vendor: Trial Project
As the competition mounting in the
upward direction in services market offering Offshore
Software Programming services, it’s very tiresome
to decide upon your offshore software development vendor.
So, it is better to ensure your vendor’s capabilities
by awarding him a trial project and measuring his efficiencies
on the basis of the same.
2. Initiate a Project Based Relationship
After satisfactory evaluation of the
vendor, you can start outsourcing
application development your projects to him. Gradually
over a period of time, even bigger projects can be outsourced
to the same vendor. This relationship can help you tremendously,
as outsourcing can help you cut down your costs to almost
more than 50% due to the offshore advantage, and let
you focus on your core competencies.
3. Dedicated Teams
Offshore Software Programming
or any other business process services to offshore vendor
will enable you having a completely dedicated team working
exclusively for your projects. You can even decide upon
the number of persons who should be assigned to your
team, depending on the size, scope and rate of recurrence
of your projects.
