The 3 most popular delusions behind Offshore Web Development

There is a large number of options available in the present world when it comes to web development. The major two to go for are onshore development business model and offshore development business model depending on your budget, goals, and overall business needs. The difference between the two models is quite simple but the only scenario that can vary is pricing and experience. 

Onshore web development is defined as working with a web development partner, company or person which has a physical presence within the same city, state or country. To be precise, if I am residing in New York and working with a web development partner located within the same city then it is termed as onshore web development. The entire web development task is done locally in the country. The advantages are pretty clear that there will be no hindrance in local culture and internal communication. Also, there will be no time difference compared to offshore development firm in some cases.

Offshore development is a process of outsourcing your web and mobile development needs to countries such as India, China, and Ukraine etc. The main advantage of offshore software development is due to its cost effectiveness as well as to minimize internal overhead or cost. This model has been around for long and with the communication medium being continuously flourishing it has become easier to communicate to anyone no matter where they are located.

As the developers and service providers are seated in another country, most entrepreneurs feel that it is difficult to establish and maintain contact with them. 

Entrepreneurs think that the promises made by the offshore companies are not the reliable one. They will not be as prompt in terms of delivery as they might have promised you to be. The worst thought that strikes their mind is that all the beautiful presentations and assurances are just a trap to win the project.

 

Most organizations think that it’s risky by sharing the project details with the entity whom you have never even met. It is like putting your entire business at risk. It is hard to count on outsourcing partner especially when it comes to sharing all the project related confidential data.

From all the above considerations the derivation is that if you work with a trustworthy and reputed offshore partner, you will not only be able to save your time and money but would also be able to work with a specialized team who has strategic working methodology approach.
