Offshore Software Development Companies: Plays a Vital Role in the Field of IT

Posted by Congruent on August 11th, 2015

Some of the most successful companies in the world outsource their software development needs to offshore companies not only to cut costs, but also to focus their time and resources on their core specializations. India is one the most preferred offshore locations for software development and general IT services, and it’s easy to see why. The country is an IT hub with many talented software developers. Their painstaking work has been used on innumerable Western-brand products, from Disney cartoons to the Windows software range. Offshore development companies in India no doubt play a critical role in the IT field. They are widening the profit margin while shortening deadlines for their clients.

Making the Leap

Are you thinking of hiring an offshore software company? Here are just some of the benefits to doing so:

Cost Efficiency

It takes a lot of money to recruit, train, and maintain your own software development team. When you hire people, you have to spend resources on supervising them, paying them salaries, and buying the equipment they need. Studies found that outsourcing your software development requirements to offshore companies can reduce about 70% of the cost you will spend hiring and maintaining your own team in North America or Western Europe.

Instant Availability of Expert Developers

Offshore development companies already have the expertise you require. Software development is all they do—all of their time, resources, and talents are focused on this niche. Because they have some of the best people in the industry, these offshore companies can develop your product efficiently and reducing the overall deployment time.

Risk Minimization

Investing in your own development team may not be the most prudent thing to do especially for onetime projects. Going offshore is infinitely more practical and less risky. The contract price is stable, so there are no surprise expenses.

Why Hire India?

According to a report by the Gartner Group, India is home to the most number of Tier I global cities suitable for offshoring. Tier I cities have the three factors needed for successful outsourcing: high quality infrastructure, high availability of human capital, and superior global connectivity. Bangalore, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune are particularly ideal for offshoring software development. Hire an offshore development company that is headquartered in your home country, for more convenience even if its development center is in India.
