Offshore Software Development

By Chloe Bibi


The on-going demand for new and more sophisticated technology has really pushed software development to the forefront as an element that is becoming increasingly important in business. The need for constant development and new technology means that this field however is quickly becoming very expensive to maintain and combined with the high standards of western working conditions this is costly to any business. Although locally made products are always a good selling point, offshore software development has become more popular in recent years to keep costs down.

There are both pros and cons to outsourcing any part of a business, but in general when you are dealing with a financial environment the pros tend to take the lead. Both the costs and the time that can be saved by business are two of the biggest benefits presented by offshore software development. Improved productivity at a lower cost is often found in other countries who have lower minimum wages and increased working hours in a day.

In addition, the idea of outsourcing to countries such as India and the Philippines, two of the world's leading areas for outsourcing business, can be incredibly profitable to their local economy as it provides a range of employment options in an area which may otherwise not have had access to many jobs - thereby providing a stable income and form of support for the local community.

The problems with offshore software development is that in some situations it cannot be easily quality controlled and this can lead to problems developing further down the line. Although industry standards are incredibly tight within the UK, these are not universal and as such problems can slip into the manufacturing process which can lead to problems at the end process.

Offshore software development can be a great idea for a company who is looking to keep costs down but as a business you need to keep in mind how you are going to regulate this business to ensure that you are still producing a reliable product.
