Maximizing Quality with Your Offshore Development Team
Written on
Understanding Offshore Team Management
In the realm of outsourcing software development, maintaining a productive relationship with your offshore team is crucial. But why is it so important to actively manage this dynamic?
Often, consulting firms assign less experienced personnel to client projects, resulting in prolonged timelines and increased errors, all while maximizing their billing. This practice can lead to frustration for both the clients and the team members who are capable of delivering higher quality work.
Experienced clients tend to recognize the skilled individuals on their offshore teams and often request them specifically for their projects. This practice is common, as familiarity breeds trust and confidence in project outcomes. But is this the best approach we can take?
For years, the focus has been on ensuring that teams comprise competent developers we know and trust. However, this raises the question: should we settle for this approach?
Innovative Solutions with Arc
This is where Arc steps in. Their Rapid Application Development platform is designed to adapt and can be integrated with existing applications or utilized to create new ones from scratch.
When your offshore team builds on a platform crafted in the USA, you can expect a consistent level of quality, scalability, and performance that is often unattainable with haphazardly assembled teams. The uncertainty of deliverables until the release date is a significant risk, which is why many projects fall short of expectations. Frequent change requests can further complicate matters, as they often disrupt the fragile frameworks established during development.
Projects constructed in this ad-hoc manner are typically built on unstable foundations. Such practices tend to be dictated by the preferences of the developers, who may have relied on outdated methodologies for years. For many, it’s merely a job, leading to a status quo that discourages innovation and improvement.
Incentives for Quality Work
When issues arise, the response is often to "fix" the problem, resulting in additional costs rather than promoting quality work from the outset. What motivation do teams have to enhance their output? Unfortunately, none.
For the first time, you can now choose both your development team and the robust foundational platform on which your projects will be built. This dual approach guarantees that a third-party entity ensures a certain standard of quality and durability in the work produced. Even less experienced teams can successfully build on a solid platform, as they are primarily focused on implementing your business logic. We manage the underlying complexities, allowing them to concentrate on what matters most.
Consider Arc for your Digital Transformation initiatives. It has the potential to revolutionize your project outcomes.
