Competition is creeping into almost every domain today. Gone are the days of monopoly, as any new concept almost immediately finds some competition from somewhere. As a result, many companies need to start looking at bringing down their programming costs. Offshore application development is a great way to do it. When offshoring first started, not many companies were confident that it would work for them. The lack of proven results and understanding of the talent pool in a different country were some of the reasons. But over the last couple of decades, offshoring has really transformed many companies and has become a norm for most of the multinationals. The most economical way to develop computer programs is to outsource the process completely. Besides, good quality, offshore does offer huge cost benefits through low cost destinations. As a result, if the entire program is outsourced, the overall cost of the project goes down. While low costs are important, hitting the market in a timely manner is equally important. Pure offshore model does not extend itself to this naturally. The alternate approach is to split the development roles between the teams within the enterprise and other location. This way there would be extended working hours and as a result, the application is developed earlier. Lastly, it is not just development of the application alone which needs to be offshored. In fact, the support and maintenance of such programs is also a great avenue for offshoring. Since the support does not involve major changes to the program, a reliable offshore destination can provide quality support services. In conclusion, it is clear that offshore application development has a lot of benefits. There are some activities which are ideally suited for pure outsourcing and some others that are better executed with load and responsibilities are shared. The only real challenge is to ensure that the enterprise can partner with a very good and highly effective and reliable vendor for best results.
