IT Outsourcing: Maturity Phase

New Opportunities – New Relationships

IT Outsourcing Researches conducted by international research agencies indicate that 86 per cent of Global 1000 IT executives and providers of IT outsourcing services who took part in the researches held agreed that IT outsourcing will further expand next year. Besides, outsourcing became more than just sheer cost saving opportunity. Cost saving is number one factor stimulating the growth of outsourcing, but we can name another fundamental factor – companies seek to delegate their treadmill activities to focus on company’s core activities and innovative approaches to business. Globalization is another trend that creates new opportunities for businesses proficient in establishing subtle and interdependent relationships with offshore outsourcing providers. If relationships ground on the above factors, this all indicates that IT outsourcing reached its maturity phase.

Offshore Dedicated Team

Having reached its maturity phase, IT outsourcing goes far beyond the traditional project model: offshore outsourcing companies provide their customers with a dedicated development team on a long-term basis. An Offshore Dedicated Team fully tailored to client’s requirements, techniques, and even culture works as a part of the in-house personnel. The ODT delivers clients from problems like recruitment, office lease, set up of infrastructure, support and maintenance. ODT enables a business to decrease development expenses, obtain access to relevant skills, get highly controllable development processes, reach the benefits of scalability.

Lots of major IT companies have been using offshore development centers for years. Outsourcing part of their work to offshore centers, these companies enhance their technologies, get significant cost savings, while at the same time allowing their in-house developers to focus on research and development and technology innovations.

As of current situation an increasing number of small and mid-size businesses transfer their large-scale and/or lasting projects to offshore development centers and teams. These projects encompass custom software development, support and maintenance, quality assurance and testing. The operation term of a conventional ODT is typically from six to whatever long you wish or your project requires, alternatively the invested time, money and effort will not pay off.
