IT Outsourcing deals face failure many times due to wrong vendor selection. Vendor selection must not consider the price alone. Cost is often the prime factor for outsourcing, and has an extravagant importance. However, the vendor selection process must include multiple driving factors to make the correct decision.

What if my unique source code becomes a high-selling tool sharable to my competitors?
What if a service provider makes minor changes in product development coding for me and puts their product in the market?
What if a service provider employee tries to steal code and sell it to my rivals?

3. Your existing development team

It is the most disruptive issue that occurs while your existing IT team works with an offshore software development team. It may become a blame game with zero advantage to the company due to lack of appropriate measures.

Software Outsourcing and offshore job shifting is a tentative issue with business depletion effects. Employee dissatisfaction may occur due to job insecurity at the initial phase of offshore outsourcing. Sometimes the tech-team may not cooperate with offshore development teams. Hence, it rises as a recurring issue of inadequate communication. Staff discussion is, thus, an essential component that must include a mock Q&A session before going offshore outsourcing. End-time surprises may ruin the whole process.

4. Offshore development team & management

People and project management is often what separates a winning combination and failure in offshore software outsourcing.

There are many Software Outsourcing companies with varying benefits. But what makes a particular company different? It is the management of people and projects with fully-functional experience and vision. We are not body shoppers who hire market developers and sell them as a team.

5. Communication

Our geographically-dispersed team is flexible according to different time zones. Communication may become an issue! But, our service providers schedule meetings at a compatible time for optimum supremacy of results.

Offshore software Outsourcing to geographically-dispersed companies may create communicative disruption. Time zone difference is the main reason that requires a client to schedule phone calls and meetings. Emailing works, but it may not satisfy complex changes that need urgent response. Hence, one can interact with the development team at midnight.

6. Approach and Methodology

A list of things that we really need to complete, may or may not cover everything. This is what everyone may have heard from different companies. An adept offshore software development team is every business desire.

Software Outsourcing companies are endless nowadays. But, what separates a successful company from the also-rans is, uniqueness of vision, proficiency of expertise, and project management.

9. After project services

Projects may need minor changes or upgrades anytime during the solution offering. Businesses look for developers that can provide the fastest turn around at certain conditions.

Any software can not work for a lifetime. But some project developers live in another geographical location and work for someone else. They may reply at the instant or may not answer at all.

10. Walking away from the deal
