Offshore IT and its benefits

Web development, IT outsourcing. How can you ensure you’re off to a good start when delegating your project to a team of remote developers? Working methods, communication, level of experience of the project manager... What factors does the success of an IT project developed by an outsourced team depend on?

From Facebook to Amazon, Twitter to Google, rising COVID-19 cases have prompted companies around the world to ask their employees to switch to working remotely from home.

One of the key benefits of hiring external development teams is the freedom to grow.

Across industries and sectors, companies are often faced with a similar challenge: growth is not simply the result of an increase in demand for products and services, but of the ability for a business to scale efficiently, and in a way that does not disrupt or negatively affect product and service quality.

Using our more than 9 years’ experience in IT development services, this article will provide you with the basic keys for understanding how to properly prepare and configure a truly amazing development team. While the article refers specifically to a development team, the ideas can be applied to many other team types.

Before we dive into what makes an amazing developer team, let's define what the ideal team of developers is for us. You should ask yourself this question. One person’s ideal team is not necessarily ideal for everyone.

Are you considering developing custom software for your business, but don't really know where to begin? How can you ensure that you choose the right provider to build what you need? If you’re asking these questions, then this article is for you!

Finding the right company to develop your custom software is far from easy. This article aims to show you, step by step, how to distinguish the good from the bad when it comes to choosing a partner for your software development project.

We take a look at the pros and cons of different approaches to IT development.

As the global economy becomes increasingly digitized and businesses rely more and more on robust IT infrastructures and assets, the need for software development has exploded. This has created a situation of scarcity in the developer market, with the pool of talent in many countries not being able to keep up with demand.

IT project management is far from an exact science. According to a 2018 study by the Standish Group Report “Chaos”, 31% of IT projects are halted before they are ever finalized, and never go live. Additioanlly, 53% of IT projects see their budget forecasts balloon by 189%.

With those stats in mind, let’s discover two little-known but very effective ways to avoid having your IT project fall victim to failure.

Choosing the right partner to take care of your IT projects can bring your company significant advantages.

As the global economy continues to reel from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the pressure on companies to embrace digital transformation is more intense than ever.

In parallel – and as a consequence – the demand for software developers in most countries is high, and in developed economies, the costs of hiring developers both as employees or as freelancers is significant, to the point of being restrictive for many.

While remote work arrangements might seem like a project manager’s nightmare, following some key steps can make the setup simple and effective.

Remote work is one of those topics that can arouse all kinds of opinions: from ardent advocates who praise its rationality, flexibility and cost-saving characteristics, to more traditionally-minded opponents that believe humans work best when they are in real-life, physical proximity to each other.

Enlisting the services of an external IT team is a powerful strategy for any company.

While the Covid-19 crisis has brought a halt to much of the international travel and mobility we have taken for granted over the last four decades, it has not managed to stop the underlying force beneath it: globalization.

Relying on an external team for your IT needs can be highly rewarding, as long as you follow certain steps.
