 Why
Outsource?
Information Technology (IT) is a powerful force in
business today, and has become a key enabler of global
business. The increased level of globalization in today's
economies has made it possible for managers to adopt
new organizational practices. Concurrently, software
outsourcing has grown out of an increased awareness
of benefits from having an outside vendor. Businesses
realize that vendors can often provide more value for
money in comparison to in-house software development.
Finally, high bandwidth telecommunication links have
made it possible to coordinate software development
across continents and to ultimately ship the system
electronically to distant locations. The combination
of increased globalization and powerful computing and
telecommunication capabilities has resulted in a new
phenomenon.
Outsourcing IT requirements has become an important
part of the strategy for an increasing number of businesses
worldwide. While the much touted "Significant Cost
Savings" are immediately apparent, less apparent
are other benefits such as:
 |
Focus on core strengths
internally |
|
Strategic redeployment
of internal resources |
|
Access to a "global"
talent pool |
|
Preventing Delays |
Many large companies now have an offshore development
center precisely for these reasons. A sizeable number
of companies with outsourcing as a key strategy in their
business plans have outsourced to companies located in
India. This is hardly surprising considering the vast
pool of English speaking technically qualified professionals
available. With an established track record of executing
outsourced IT activities, significant core competence
has been built to manage such activities within time and
budget constraints.
However, both IT outsourcing and offshore software development
are, like anything, not that perfect - they have certain
shortcomings and involve certain risks. But
all of those can be significantly reduced and we at NIT
are working hard in this direction, having already come
up with numerous ways to eliminate the hazard.
If all these reasons have raised your interest in outsourcing,
contact us
and we will build a dedicated set of facilities to meet
your outsourcing needs. We can start the relationship
by taking on small projects, and establish a level of
comfort about the relationship before moving onto larger
activities.
