Summary: Offshore software development
Key: SDAP-337

Project: Apache Science Data Analytics Platform
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Derek Lewis
Offshore software development is when a company hires an overseas mobile app
development team. This approach tends to reduce costs and open access to
experts abroad. Offshore software development is a good solution for those who
want and can expand their production, but do not have a lot of resources for
this.
*How does offshore software development work?*
The essence of this approach is to hire developers from other countries. Such
specialists work full time, but the cost of their services will be lower than
that of a full-time team.
*Difference between offshore and outsourcing*
The definitions of outsourcing and offshore seem to be close, but in reality
they are completely different. When a company hires a third-party development
team, with experts in different niches, it's outsourcing. And when a company
opens its office in another country, because there are more favorable
conditions for growth - offshore.
*Who needs offshore software development?*
Offshore software development is often preferred by non-tech companies. They
may be experts in their field, but to develop, for example, a website, they
need outside people. In order to understand the issues of mobile application
development, they need more people and resources. A company can hire developers
on a full-time basis for less cost.
Such a team can be involved in the implementation of projects in the future. In
cases where a company wants to add value to its business and grow further, and
it is difficult and costly to find contractors, an offshore will be the ideal
solution.
*Benefits of offshore software development*
* A large number of experts
It is more expensive to hire developers from developed countries than from
others, as their skills are more in demand. For example, in the United States
there are now more than 250 thousand developer vacancies, and this number is
growing. There are literally not enough programmers for all new startups in the
country.
Offshore development opens the door to a world of highly experienced
developers. In addition, offshore partners have experience in international
projects for the development of mobile applications for other clients, they
understand and accept the rules of this game.
* Low cost
Not everyone has the ability to hire and maintain a team of talented and
experienced developers. Offshore software development can save internal
resources and increase productivity.
For example, an American entrepreneur wants to create a development team in
Bangladesh. If you count all the costs, including the place to work and wages,
it will be only half the cost if you create an in-house team. The reason is the
low standard of living in developing countries. The cost of living in India is
3-4 times less than in the west.
* Time for other projects
Offshore development allows you to focus on the core business strategy, instead
of worrying about team management, technical issues and a process that is not
easy to understand. This will help the company focus on the project without
extra burden.
* Fast scaling
Hiring and training employees is an investment that can lead to financial risk.
Therefore, it is easier to turn to an offshore team. It's cheaper to hire
people in another country than to hire and train a full-time team. Such a team
can attract more people in a short time.
An offshore team can take over the management of the subsidiary, cost control,
placement, insurance, and more.
*What is the bottom line*
The key to software development is to test your idea in the real market. This
can be done with the help of an outsourced development team. They can provide
you with a huge database of independent contractors willing to participate in
your project at the lowest possible cost for quality work.
At Diceus, we develop web, desktop and mobile apps from scratch and design UI /
UX interfaces for them. Our task is to help young startups launch MVPs in order
to test the idea and quickly "get used" to the market. So, if you have an idea
