Top Myths That Surround Offshore Web Development
Offshoring is considered as a help that you extent to your business. The moment you start outsourcing services you move to a system-focused model from a people-focused model. Today more number of businesses prefers to go for outsourcing as they get the service at a lesser price and get to become more efficient towards other business needs. When indulging in outsourcing, it has been seen that 60% of the business goes to IT industry. Amidst all the misconception offshore web development services are on rise.
There are a certain stereotypes about offshore services running around in the market and it has been proved that these misconceptions have no base. So let’s see them here:
Offshoring is done by illegal Companies
This one certainly tops the list. No industry is clean. You will find good and bad in both. With a few bad examples, it is not possible to judge the whole industry. Offshore industries are widespread and so a certain standard rule does not guide them. For web development everyone has to follow a certain set standard.Just keep in mind that there are companies that don’t stay with the norm and have no proper office in place. So to be safe at the first place you should get familiar with the company that you plan to have for outsourcing.
You have no control on offshore IT projects
This is no more a valid reason you find in outsourcing industry. Today there is abundance of communication apps and modern media which help people to always stay connected with each other. The distance no more matters as everything is just a few clicks away. To have realistic expectation about the project, it would be better that you have a complete idea of the team you are going to work with. You can make use of project management tools in such a scenario.
Requires Good Amount of Capital
This is seriously an absurd reason. The first place why people choose to go for offshoring the development costs is to bring down the costs. Compared to the in-house team, you will find that certain processes are very less charged when you choose the offshore option. A certain group of people believe that offshore development comes with hidden charges. This cannot be always true and you cannot blame the development company for this always. It happens a number of times that the business owner comes with new feature requirement in the middle of the project development. As it was no decided in the initial stage, it adds up the cost that was finalized initially. With more feature demands adding up, more resources get added during the development stage which adds up the costs later.
Choosing The Lowest Price as Possible
The main reason to go offshoring is to cut down the costs but then, you need to be sure that you don’t end up overdoing it. We want the project completed at the lowest price and in this run, often we forget to get it done in quality. Again, most of the companies have the demand to get the project done at the nearest time. So juggling between the resources and with the race to complete things on time, quality gets compromised at every stage.
