With a huge pool of software professionals in eastern countries who are
willing to work for a small percentage of money compared to their
western counterparts, it is a win-win game for companies to outsource
their non-core IT tasks to eastern countries. What’s more, the expertise
is in different technologies which are helpful for different types of
companies and their needs. Offshore software development providers help
create the right impression for their clients in relevant technologies
and in recent years proved to be indispensable for many of them.
The biggest question which is troubling companies in the western world
is whether they should actually opt for full time employees or opt for
custom software development outsourcing which is seen as a lucrative
means to get their non-core tasks done, including software application
development. Offshore software development has helped out several
companies across the world to achieve a profitability status. Some of
the other benefits include:
* One can concentrate on core business activities.
* Employ in-house staff to build business applications.
* Obtain custom solutions tailored to requirements.
* Obtain independent analysis of each of the services.
* Better ROI factor with adequate attention to what is immediately important.
Most of the vendors offer different engagement models depending on what
the client needs. One can opt for an offshore-onsite approach or even a
BOT model which facilitates handling of client’s departments for a
specific period after which the client company will take over.
Alternatively, virtual workers can be hired on an hourly basis, so that
the client has the flexibility to defer from giving tasks once his or
her requirements are met. Here is a framework of how the tasks are to be
implemented:
* Initiation of the Project including requirement gathering and proposals.
* Definition which includes test plans and development framework.
* Elaboration which would include the selection of the architecture and Design components.
* Construction which includes Unit Testing, component construction and Integration with third party elements.
* Transition which includes overall Deployment process, Acceptance Testing, maintenance and support.
* Testing which would include complete Load Testing and Automated Testing.
Many offshore-onsite projects have proved to be beneficial for both the
client and the vendor related to various technologies. Different
projects entail diverse business logic and technical complexity and
hence the success of the project implementation depends on the expertise
and experience of the chosen software development vendor.
