Today many companies in developed countries are thinking outsourcing their work to the offshore development centers at developing nations
. However the overall impression and experience of the offshore development is not good in developed nations. This is because of bad practices used by some low quality outsourcing companies. If you want to get noticed in the eyes of the companies which are intend to give their work to the offshore development centers located all over the globe you have to decide the best practices for outsourcing work. In this article I have tried to give you some best practices in brief.
Infrastructure
Have a good infrastructure for the software development is good sign to get projects because without it you cant deliver any quality output from your side. The latest hardware, genuine licensed software, latest gizmos for test of the applications and stacking server are some of the basic requirements.
Human Resources
Have software developers in adequate amount and with required skills is prime importance for a good offshore software development company. In offshore development developers and clients are not interacting face to face therefore use of the latest technologies to make communication effective is a must requirements of offshore software development company. Besides these they have to train their staff to understand the cultural differences between the nations and therefore changes in the mode of the businesses of the clients. Always recruit the developers who are graduated in reputed universities or colleges with relevant experience.
Opt for small project
It is said that go slow but steady. So initially you should opt for smaller project and try to win the confidence of the companies which are giving you offshore software development work. Once you establish good relationship with those companies then opt for the big.
Solve their problems
Lookouts for warning signals and address it immediately because good results are not happen overnight you have to take care of any bugs found in your application/software. Similarly you have to take care of clean and well understood communication so any misunderstanding never happens. If any misunderstanding in plan or any issue with human resources you should attained them carefully.
Offer Post development services
Many offshore software development companies restricted themselves up to the development only and this is not good practice so you have to offer maintenance services after the development so beneficial companies keep concentrated on their core issues.
