Why Offshore Resources or Offshore Team?

Many companies have been hesitant in engaging with a team from overseas over the last few years, but that has changed now significantly due to the following factors listed below. Either these factors or self imposed or non self imposed but businesses in regions especially North America, Europe and Australia have seen the urgent need for reaching out to overseas service providers in IT.

1. Supply and Demand

With the Demand for Skilled IT Resources in Markets like North America, Europe and Australia have given birth to offshore search of Talent. This need is supplied adequately by countries like India. India being the second most populated country meets this demand with ease. With the IT wave in India, more and more people are getting graduated every year and jobs are created and sufficed by these Graduates.

2. Cost

This is one of the main reasons why Businesses and Large Corporations take this direction. Any Business would like to get more from less and that explains why people are looking to India for Developers, Designers and Engineers.

The Difference in the hourly rate is sometimes at a peak of more than $50 per hour. That’s a huge amount when you take that into consideration for a week or a month or a year. And moreover the work is completed.Indian companies are also constantly improving the Quality of Service at low costs to maintain the advantage.

3. Skills

Skills combined with experience is what is required today for organisations to deal with the complex Information Technology industry. Only such resources can add value in projects due to their efficiency in solving problems and getting the tasks done. In India you get all the combinations of skills with experience across industries like Healthcare, Automotive, Retail, Manufacturing etc….

4. Time Zone Advantage

Time Zone difference is time zone advantage. Let us say the development happens in India and a team manages the project from the United States (US). The development would be complete during the Business Hours of India and with a few hours of overlap the developed and completed tasks can be reviewed with the Project Management Team in the US during their morning hours. Another advantage is if the engagement type is providing support to Infrastructure or Application, A support team can provide support during the normal business hours in the US and the Indian Offshore Support Team can provide support during the night hours of US which is the normal Business hours in India.This ensures Business Continuity.

5. Project Deadline / Time to Market

By engaging an Offshore Team the work force is multiplied or extended for better Time Management and Delivery of services. In countries like India, the ramp up time is very quick for any specific project requirements. This enables the companies in the US and other countries to finish their projects in a timely manner and ensure that they meet deadlines. This plays a vital role in Time to Market.

6. Trade

The trade facilitation’s by Governments of countries involved have made it all the more easy to do business across borders. It has been more than a couple of decades now since these trade laws have evolved for easier services exchange and there by improving the economies.
