When did the outsourcing of ITservices start in modern times?

The concept was first applied by Ross Perot, when he founded Electronic Data Systems in 1962. EDS told a prospective client;

"You are familiar with

designing, manufacturing and selling furniture, but we're familiar with managing information technology.”

“We can sell you the information technology you need, and you pay us monthly for the service with a minimum commitment of two to ten years."

As per the latest trend, offshore mobile apps development is considered as the most effective factor. This effective factor cut-down the other additional charge without compromising with the quality.

Offshore or Outsource ?

In modern world of portable devices, the companies and individuals are struggling of mobile applications which are aimed to do their life easier and work effective. That is why, PC software vendors, global and local businesses are seeking to develop their own applications which will solve the issues of their employees and clients.

But, having an idea, even well documented idea, is not enough to make an app real - the developers needed.

That is why, the company should choose what is better for them: offshore development or outsourcing?

Further, we have decided to look through both ways and help you to decide which of them will be cost-savvy and profitable for you and your business.

Risk of poor or slow performance, due to inexperience

Offshore or In-house Development

Onshore or Outsource Development

As a Result…

Hiring new or novice mobile developers is high risk strategy, but outsourcing developers can harm as well, if they don’t understand your business needs.

Technical innovation is critical, if product and service depends on changing app market, so you are in need of real experts.

Mobile expert onsite hiring is expensive and time consuming task, finding outsourcing partner will take less time and for almost no investments

High cost training of new specialists as well as no guarantee if they succeeded, in need of experts in your domain (reducing risks of inexperience and lack of understanding by outsourcers)

Security – based on our experience this issue is the most common when you are going to develop business mobile application, which must interact with your company server. Usually companies choose in-house development to bypass the issues that may occur, but if you need the app ASAP you may consider to outsource it. That is why outsourcing partner should have a deep experience in the server integration and not to specialize in stand alone apps. Also your provider should have deep security expertise and have knowledge of MDM,MAM and BYOD policies.

What Industry Numbers Saying?

According to the latest statistics about 81% of companies are developing or going to develop custom mobile applications. And, not looking at how strange it may sound, 40 % of them are going to outsource apps, and 40% are going to build them in house.

Decision is Yours.

Well, if for your business it is first mobile project you should choose outsources of course: to get experience, to learn how it works, what resources needed etc. And to save time and money.

Also you should at least outsource scope and technical design, since for newly created team it is time-consuming and really painful process.

There also some cases we have mentioned before, when outsourcing is better.

But if you are planning your mobile business you should hire your own developers or at least dedicated team to work for you.
