Concept of Offshori
t ing
Outsourcing is a busine activity th
ess hrough which business firm attempt to reduce or eliminate its
ms
non-core areas of funcctioning by contracting with another com
h mpany to prov vide services at lower
costs that might otherw
t wise be perfo
ormed by in-house employe ees. This arra
angement wou lead to
uld
lesser resoource consum
mption and inccrease the co ness organization.
ompetitiveness of the busin
Two outso
ourcing mode that are po
els opularly adopted are -
Nearshoring (also known as "nea arshore outso sourcing") means sourcing service activ
g vities to a
foreign, loower-wage co ountry that is relatively clos in distance The expected benefits are from one
se e.
or more o the followin constructs of proximity: geographic, temporal, cul
of ng ltural, linguist economic,
tic, ,
political, o historical lin
or nkages.
Offshorin (also know as "offsho outsourc
ng wn hore rcing”) literally means outs
sourcing your activity to
r
one who i positioned in a country t
is aphically remo from your premises or who is
that is geogra ote r
beyond yo shore.
our
This has f
further given rise to the co
oncept of “Off fshore Deve elopment Ce enter” or OD where a
DC
dedicated team of prog grammers and developers are handpick to comple
d ked ement the cusstomer's skill
set and cu
ulture. This cuustomized tea works exc
am clusively on beehalf of the customer at th service
he
provider's site or their own captive s in a secure environme
s site ent. The infras structure and security can
be designed to meet th customer's specific stan
he s ndards and sppecifications, a may inclu co-
and ude
branding. Indeed, the closer the syn nergy betwee an ODC and an organiza
en ation's own
IT/development depart tment the bet
tter. The ultim
mate goal is fo an ODC to be a seamles extension
for o ss
of an orga
anization's IT department.
The main reasons why one mig
n w ght opt for software of
ffshoring
• Limited Reso ource capaci ity: The number of develo opers to work on a project may be
in
nsufficient and there may b a lack of finances for hiring more. In this case Off
d be n fshoring
prroves to be extremely cost effective and also gives s
t d scope for hirin a team of d
ng developers at t
a low cost.
• Technology expertise: Offshoring give access to a pool of reso
e es ources across various
te
echnologies & skill sets. Th
here is a rich a
availability of senior softwa engineers with
f are s
exxpertise on vaarious techno
ologies, indust experience & knowledg and good q
try e ge qualification.
Yo can choos a team of e
ou se engineers with expertise on a particular technology o a mix of
h n r or
te
echnologies to complement your project

• Resource ava
R ailability: In the offshorin model ther is abundance of resourc giving
ng re ces
sccope to quickly allocate an extra resour as per the need of the project. This gives the
n rce e
fle
exibility to rappidly scale up the team siz to accelera the comple
p ze ate etion of a pro
oject or
acccommodate new development plans.
• Budget: The offshore mod gives the advantage of bringing in r
B del f resources with the
hin
alllocated budg gets for softwa developm
are ment. This is p
possible becau the rate/h
use hour for a
seenior software engineer in this model is very low. Th allows a co
e s his ompany to co ontinue with
th current sof
he ftware develo opment and also to plan ne projects su as - new product
ew uch
deevelopment/t testing or prodduct enhanceement.
