Frank Greguska deleted SDAP-337: -------------------------------- > Offshore software development > ----------------------------- > > Key: SDAP-337 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SDAP-337 > Project: Apache Science Data Analytics Platform > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Derek Lewis > Priority: Major > > 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.
