Resource Flexibility - Covering the full range of skills and disciplines required to design, develop, QA and maintain discrete development projects or continuous development - offshore development centers manage the skill mix to ensure you only use the resources required by your project as needed.
Cost Savings - The unquestionable trend is in the history of numerous industries, from electronics to designer clothing - once the standards of manufacturing can be replicated in low cost economies, they quickly surpass the standards and efficiencies in the developed economies. This is now the case in software development as well. Sending all or part of a project offshore can reduce development costs by 40-60%.
Free resources for other purposes - Every organization has limits on the resources available to it. Outsourcing permits an organization to redirect its resources; most often people resources, from non-core activities toward activities, which serve the customer. The organization can redirect these people or at least the staff slots they represent onto greater value adding activities. People whose energies are currently focused internally can now be focused externally - on the customer.
High Standards of Customer Service & Delivery - With a track record of successful project execution in leading-edge technologies, TSC have introduced dynamic development processes that ensure clients that the standards of their off-shore developed products and components will meet or exceed those produced in-house. The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) has become the industry standard for judging the maturity of the software processes of an organization and for identifying the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes.
Access to world class capabilities - World class providers make extensive investments in technology, methodologies, and people. They gain expertise by working with many clients facing similar challenges. This combination of specialization and expertise gives customers a competitive advantage and helps them avoid the cost of chasing technology and training.
Reduce risk - Tremendous risks are associated with the investments an organization makes. Markets, competition, government regulations, financial conditions and technologies all change extremely quickly. Keeping up with these changes, especially those in which the next generation requires a significant investment, is very risky. Offshore development can reduce a lot of these risks. |
