Weighing the Benefits of Offshore Software Development

The struggle has always been putting together a team that delivers an amazing software product as an end result and that possess all the latest skills and know-how to get it done on time and at lower costs.
As innovation moves at a rapid pace and businesses struggle to do more with less, it’s become even more beneficial than ever before to utilize a third party provider for software development needs. One that works with offshore talent to bring highly specialized skills and technical expertise to meet business needs.
Here’s a closer look at some of the benefits and why offshoring makes sense.

Reduced Costs

Cutting costs is a demand most businesses have become familiar with. Salaries are usually at the top tier in terms of spend – especially in the technology department. It is possible to gain the specialized skills required to develop software, at a fraction of the cost, when hiring an offshore team vs. one in-house employee.
When it comes to lowering overall spend, there are also cost savings to be realized when you don’t need to purchase or maintain any on-premises infrastructure to complete the project.

Time Benefits

There are some efficiencies in time that are also offered by choosing offshore developers. Faster project completion times, as well as differing time zones, means they’ll be working long and hard to get the project completed and you’ll have a final version of the software faster than typical. That means more time to focus on the core business and less time worrying over an in-house team that also has other tasks worked into their schedules.

Focused Innovation

The truth of the matter when it comes to developer skillsets in the market is that there is a true skills gap in the American workforce. By hiring offshore, you’ll get to choose from a larger, more certified labor pool of developers from around the world. These developers with specialized skill sets bring expertise and innovation with them that help businesses to maximize the potential of their software development projects.
