Rules For A Successful Software Technology Outsourcing

by Aika Anderson


For the most part, small businesses in the software
technology industry rely on outsourcing providers to accomplish some of their
tasks.  Cost-cutting finances and time
restrictions are the two major reasons why most companies outsource their many
technology projects overseas like India, China and
eastern European countries. 
Although software technology involves complicated and
demanding projects, many companies have achieved success in their endeavors.  Yes, with the right mindset and attitude, your
own success in outsourcing is indeed, attainable.  Below are some rules for a successful
software technology outsourcing that you can follow:
Choosing Your
Outsourcing Partner. Outsourcing providers in different countries differ in
many aspects.  The diversity in size,
infrastructure, capital, language, talent, and location all affect an
outsourcing firm’s capability of service. 
For the most part, some companies choose their outsourcer based on the size
and reputation of the outsourcing firm. 
But in reality, the success of partnership between the client company
and the outsourcer depends on not just one or two factors but with the right
combination of each and every factor involved.
What most companies don’t realize is that infrastructure,
language and skills all play a major in their success especially when
outsourcing software development.  The
lack of sufficient communication infrastructure, like high speed internet
connection or smooth telephone accessibility will likely result to faulty
projects, thus alterations or modifications on those projects might be needed repeatedly.
A more in-depth research or study must be done on the part
of the client when seeking an outsourcing company for software development.  Interviews with the prospective team members
must be personally conducted to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and
find out whether these people can really handle a certain project.  This is true most importantly when looking
for programmers where a special knowledge matched with skillfulness is very
essential.
Deciding on the Right
Project. Evidently, finding a proficient and talented team to work on the
project is only the first step.  Making
sure that this team will handle the right project for them is the next step.  Not every project will be suitable for
outsourcing.  Some projects do require
face to face communications.  To avoid
serious catastrophe, it is advisable to start with outsourcing more simple
tasks like internal technical support, documentation, quality assurance, and
like projects.  It is also recommended to
limit outsourcing with a specific time period of around 2 to 3 months.
