Why
Outsource
Advantages
of Outsourcing
The
Fear of Outsourcing
The
Yankee Group estimates that small- and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs) are resistant to outsourcing in today's economic climate.
Yankee found only 6 percent of SMB outsource their IT, and
only 16 percent were "very interested" in application
outsourcing.
The
reason for the reluctance? According to the Yankee Group,
top fears of outsourcing applications included trust and security
issues, and picking the wrong vendor.
Reasons
to Outsource
Yankee
analyst Helen Chan blames the low adoption rates on poor vendor
products, bad marketing and poor distribution.
According
to Eric K. Clemons of the Wharton School, there are four benefits
to outsourcing. They are:
- Lower
cost.
- More
flexibility
- Quicker
development
- Accounting.
- In
other word, you incur no overhead costs.
- We
provide our own facilities, systems, bandwidth, and so on.
- You
can more easily adjust personnel to match demand.
- Which
can in turn get your product to market sooner.
Moving
resources to a vendor, gets them off your balance sheet.
- Ease:
there is no need to recruit, hire, or train new employees.
- Simplicity:
you eliminate expenses related to retention of employees,
including insurance, worker's compensation, social security,
and company-provided benefits.
- Expertise:
instantly tap into our engineers' extensive, real-world
experience in key technologies like web/Internet, Java,
C++, Windows, Unix, and embedded systems.
- Synergy:
for larger projects, outsourcing partners like we offer
you a team of experienced developers who have already proven
themselves as an effective unit. Your organization avoids
the personality clashes, communication problems, and other
obstacles to building a successful development team.
- Flexibility:
you can scale our involvement in your projects however you
wish and whenever you wish.
- Focus:
outsourcing software projects to us allows your organization
to focus on its own core competencies.
- Confidence:
when working with an established outsourcing partner like
Hi-Tec India, you can be sure your software projects are
completed on time, on budget, and to specifications.
