In today’s business climate of increasing globalisation, recent figures showing that more than half of Fortune 500 companies practice offshore outsourcing as a part of their overall business strategy should come as no surprise. For several years now, the benefits of outsourcing specific aspects of your workload to more economical parts of the world so that you are better able to concentrate on your core specialisations have been well known. And in no area of offshore outsourcing has this been more valid or necessary than Information Technology, and in particular the development of new software. The principal reason for this is that IT uses a language and skills that transcend national and cultural barriers. And the potential expenditure in time and money spent developing a bespoke piece of software for your company makes sourcing the cheapest provider a top priority.
Regardless of this, if your company is proposing to outsource an offshore software developer, it is worthwhile understanding the benefits and risks involved. A good way of minimising risk, for instance, is to use a UK based offshore software developer, or an agency whose business is to connect clients with developers matching certain requirements. The Approved Index, the UK’s leading online business to business referral service, is an excellent place to find such an agency, with up to 8 companies listed in your area where you can visit the site or get in touch directly.
The benefit of using a facilitator to outsource your offshore needs is that they will have the experience to secure the best package with the minimum of fuss. In no time at all you will be able to get on with your core competencies while your software is built to your specifications. However, in order for this process to run smoothly, it is important to establish certain working conditions:
- That there is a project manager on the ground who is contactable during UK office hours and will give you daily progress reports by phone, text or email. Seek assurances that the same project manager will be with you for the duration of the project and is not replaced by a more junior employee half way through.
