Why

Are we here today?
Why are we here?





when people struggle with finding good developers locally and/or have software development budget challenges they consider outsourcing.


Outsourcing is firmly embedded in the DNA of most US companies; untold time and money have been saved through companies working with on, near and offshore providers.


So When do you outsource?

When you simply need or want to delegate ....


Maybe you’re desperate. It’s been months since you’ve been able to hire a decent developer. Some have quit.

SPLIT

TASKS
When you need to ensure each has the skills and capacity required to excel at their assigned task.


E.G.

The skills needed to maintain a legacy application are different from those needed to work on new product development; and...

it does make sense to split tasks up among several providers

to ensure each has the skills and capacity required to excel at their assigned task.


Of course, there is additional management overhead involved in managing more than one software engineering services provider, but

this cost is unlikely to outweigh the benefit getting the right teams to do the right jobs.

GLOBAL TALENT POOL

AT YOUR 'DOORSTEPS'
Why You Should Outsource Your Software Development
_____________________________________________





Well, Why settle for local when the world is at your doorsteps?

Outsourcing offers you a global talent pool to select from, meaning you can find the right team of developers you need for nearly any project, an important factor when domestic talent is often expensive and hard to find.

The bottom line is that software developers that don’t take advantage of these low-cost but highly valuable resources can be missing out.

On top of that, there is the potential to cut operating costs while also gaining the expertise you need, without having to build it in house.

You Already Know

Google Knows
We understand that selecting a software outsourcing partner is not a quick, transactional decision. It takes time, research and learning to decide what service provider is best for your situation.

We are Not

the One & Only 
True outsourcing is hiring a company that can deliver a service better than what you can do with your own employees, even if you can find and hire them. The trick is finding a good software outsourcing company quickly and to know how to work with them once you get started.

We understand that We are Not one and only service provider

PICK ONE

All you have to do now is to Pick OnE....

Few software outsourcing companies can do everything well but sometimes such a company will make promises when winning the business that it cannot keep.

This over promising can be manifest through an inability to scale, provide the right technical capabilities or the appropriate leadership skills.

This tends to be an issue with larger software engineering outsourcing companies.
Their presentation is pitch perfect: their breadth and depth is impressive, their roster of clients and experience in your vertical unsurpassed and the presenting team get your technology and challenges.

You get them signed up and a couple of months in your project is being worked on by largely junior engineers.

The guys that presented are nowhere to be seen and the managing director that led the charge will not return your calls.

It’s funny how a lot of US managers talk a lot about collaboration and partnering - with their team, their co workers, and their managers - but with outsourcing, they often move into command and control mode. This approach doesn’t play well in Peoria and it especially doesn’t work with outsourcing partner located outside USA.

Just about every other culture in the world is more relational than the U.S., so building a relationship with your partner is critical. Treat them as a partner and invest in the relationship. Have their back and they’ll have yours.


Remember, outsourcing is a partnership, and neither party should enter into the discussion attempting to take advantage of the other

Its about being excellent fit to each other....
