Offshore software development is when a company hires an overseas mobile app development team. This approach tends to reduce costs and open access to experts abroad. Offshore software development is a good solution for those who want and can expand their production, but do not have a lot of resources for this.

 

*How does offshore software development work?*

The essence of this approach is to hire developers from other countries. Such specialists work full time, but the cost of their services will be lower than that of a full-time team.

 

*Difference between offshore and outsourcing*

The definitions of outsourcing and offshore seem to be close, but in reality they are completely different. When a company hires a third-party development team, with experts in different niches, it's outsourcing. And when a company opens its office in another country, because there are more favorable conditions for growth - offshore.

 

*Who needs offshore software development?*



Offshore software development is often preferred by non-tech companies. They may be experts in their field, but to develop, for example, a website, they need outside people. In order to understand the issues of mobile application development, they need more people and resources. A company can hire developers on a full-time basis for less cost.

Such a team can be involved in the implementation of projects in the future. In cases where a company wants to add value to its business and grow further, and it is difficult and costly to find contractors, an offshore will be the ideal solution.

 

*Benefits of offshore software development*
 * A large number of experts

It is more expensive to hire developers from developed countries than from others, as their skills are more in demand. For example, in the United States there are now more than 250 thousand developer vacancies, and this number is growing. There are literally not enough programmers for all new startups in the country.

Offshore development opens the door to a world of highly experienced developers. In addition, offshore partners have experience in international projects for the development of mobile applications for other clients, they understand and accept the rules of this game.
 * Low cost

Not everyone has the ability to hire and maintain a team of talented and experienced developers. Offshore software development can save internal resources and increase productivity.

For example, an American entrepreneur wants to create a development team in Bangladesh. If you count all the costs, including the place to work and wages, it will be only half the cost if you create an in-house team. The reason is the low standard of living in developing countries. The cost of living in India is 3-4 times less than in the west.
 * Time for other projects

Offshore development allows you to focus on the core business strategy, instead of worrying about team management, technical issues and a process that is not easy to understand. This will help the company focus on the project without extra burden.
 * Fast scaling

Hiring and training employees is an investment that can lead to financial risk. Therefore, it is easier to turn to an offshore team. It's cheaper to hire people in another country than to hire and train a full-time team. Such a team can attract more people in a short time.

An offshore team can take over the management of the subsidiary, cost control, placement, insurance, and more.

 

*What is the bottom line*

The key to software development is to test your idea in the real market. This can be done with the help of an outsourced development team. They can provide you with a huge database of independent contractors willing to participate in your project at the lowest possible cost for quality work.

At Diceus, we develop web, desktop and mobile apps from scratch and design UI / UX interfaces for them. Our task is to help young startups launch MVPs in order to test the idea and quickly "get used" to the market.
