Offshore Outsourcing Demystified Webinar
With the continual rising costs of hiring local software engineers, many companies consider bringing in a software development partner. In order to keep cost down, offshore engineering is a favorable option. In this webinar, we will discuss practical advice on using offshore outsourcing for software development. While we will cover some general considerations that are geography-agnostic, most of the focus will be first hand experience with effectively leveraging India for offshore outsourcing.
Some discussion points:
- When should you consider outsourcing/offshoring and when should you hire locally? And what are the advantages of both?
- What are your options for lower cost offshore development? And what are the pros/cons of the different regions (Eastern Europe, Latin America, India, China, etc.)?
- What are the potential drivers for offshoring? For example, what are some specific project needs and functional roles that are more successful outsourcing?
- What are some preconditions to ensure you do this right?
- How do you decide to do it yourself vs. go with an offshore partner?
- What are good practices when doing offshore software development?
