Advancing Beyond the Conventional Outsourcing Model

You have nothing to worry about when you can afford to develop in-house everything you need, but what if your new project requires that you retrain your employees (or even hire new ones), pay for re-equipment, and then work against a tight deadline? In this case, the best way out is outsourcing.

However, the traditional project-by-project outsourcing model has its risks which critics never forget to mention: e.g., lost control over the entire project or at least the outsourced part of it, difference in time zones, and projects farmed out by vendors to subcontractors. These risks are reduced to a minimum or totally eliminated by the Offshore Dedicated Development Team model when offshore vendors provide their customers with exclusive full-time dedicated resources on a long-term basis.

What Is an Offshore Dedicated Development Team?

Offshore Dedicated Development Team (ODT) is a cohesive group of professionals who work for you for a fixed monthly fee in an Offshore Development Center. All offshore technical infrastructure and communication facilities are at your disposal for an extended period of time. The professionals precisely match your IT and business requirements. Their work is transparent to you and easily manageable as you have full control over the offshore human and technical resources. ODT in a nutshell is higher overall efficiency and quality at lower rates.

The ODT model doesn't work miracles, but it does turn a number of outsourcing disadvantages into advantages. It secures your tight control over the entire process and makes it possible to increase the quality of work while decreasing the amount of time and effort. Thanks to the recruitment conditions and process control provided by the ODT model, shift overlapping and, moreover, round-the-clock programming become feasible. Finally, no confidence games are possible when you directly control all of the ODT's activities.

ODT is the best solution if you are involved in ongoing development, maintenance, or support projects. It works as an extension of your in-house team, it accumulates knowledge, and it knows how to rapidly implement it for your needs.
