Key to Successful Offshore Projects by:Harkirat Singh Bedi

One of the most popular trends flourishing day by day in the business world is offshore outsourcing

. In the recession hit corporate scenario, companies are facing pressure of reducing their operational costs and other expenses to maintain their profit margins. And "offshore outsourcing" looks like the most lucrative moves that companies have taken to retain their benefits and come out of these difficult times. Following the current trend, offshore product development partners need to take care of various aspects to make the offshore projects successful.

Reason carrying almost complete credit for the failure of many offshore outsourcing projects are incompatibility and lack of communication between the outsourcing company and the service providers. Selecting the correct vendors for a long term business relationship is very important since you are bound to work with them for a significant period of time. Among the other factors, it is the rapport established between client and service provider on which the success of an offshore project depends. When you have good business relations with your vendor, they feel more attached to your work and are open to make suggestions for the project on hand.

The basic building blocks - Communication & Relationship

Strong work relationships and regular communication are the basic building blocks of continued partnerships. When the buyer and the vendor work together with mutual cooperation, their combined strength leads the project toward completion efficiently. It also ensures better returns on all the investment and efforts that are made and consequently, improvement in project results. All this eventually results in improved quality of deliverables for your project.

Acting in advance to deal with an expected change or difficulty

If you are on good working terms with your vendors, they are more cautious and vigilant towards your project. Consequently, their enthusiasm in the work results in completion of all project modules with more efficiency and before estimated deadlines.

Difference in work cultures can hamper the growth

One of the greatest obstacles in the smooth flow of ongoing offshore outsourcing projects is difference in work culture. The dissimilarity between the corporate cultures of the buyer and the vendor can create problems and possibly can hamper the growth of the project. To overcome this problem, you must sit together and discuss the problems to sort out the differences.

Good and frequent communication has always paved way to success

To rule out the possibilities of disputes in the future you must communicate regularly with your vendor since it ensures that both of you have the same opinion regarding various aspects of the project.
