The Outsourcing Jumpstart Approach to Offshoring

A Complimentary Teleseminar for Runtime Subscribers

Tuesday, May 1st

Dear Software Professional,

Are you grappling with the pros and cons of offshoring your software development? Does it take a lot longer to find qualified vendors than you think it should? Or perhaps you're not getting the offshoring results you expect, despite your best efforts. If so, you're not alone. Many Software Professionals struggle to some degree with offshoring of their software development.

Steve Mezak

 What's missing and why isn't offshoring working for you? Two big reasons. One, you may not be sure how to get started. In fact, you may have already tried offshoring and gotten lousy results. You certainly want to avoid the dishonest or incompetent vendors that will take your money and deliver software that doesn’t work, or deliver nothing at all. Two, you are unsure of the principles and practices of effective software development. And when you insert thousands of miles between you and your offshore software development team your results only get worse.

OK, if the above fits you, please keep reading. If not, this Teleseminar is probably not for you.

Despite the fact that Software Executives are pressured to do more with less and to cut costs to the bone, many see offshoring as a "threat." They know they need to go offshore – but where? And with who? What they want is an easier, better, more effective and safer way to use offshore programming resources. If you’re like them you also want...

A way to determine if offshoring is right for your company. It isn't always. You want an objective way to compare all the options including in-house development, contract outsourcing, BOT and subsidiary creation.

A well-defined vendor selection process. You want a vendor selection process that lets you evaluate choices quickly and goes beyond personal referrals to one or two vendors. You want to know the most important criteria to compare and the right questions to ask.

An objective discussion of the pros and cons of offshoring to various world regions. If you happen to be from a country that is a popular offshoring destination then your choice may be a no-brainer. But if you are a unilingual American whose most “global” experience is placing an order at the local IHOP then you need concise and relevant information to help you decide where in the world to offshore your software development.

Ways to measure and manage your offshore software development. You may be a technical lead or an expert programmer but these are only part of the skills needed to manage your offshore development. Even if you are an experienced software development manager, communicating over a long distance and at odd hours of the day (and night) requires adjustment. You also want to know how to spend your time, money and effort for the best possible return.

If offshoring is a struggle, it doesn't need to be. You can develop all the software you want and need if you follow a proven approach to get select the right offshore programming team and keep them on track.

The Outsourcing Jumpstart to Offshoring

In this free Teleseminar, you'll get a step-by-step process to Jumpstart your offshoring quickly and safely. There’s no fluff – just the information you need to source, screen and select the best offshore vendor to meet your needs.

Offshoring by yourself doesn't need to be a stress-filled activity to avoid, but a highly productive one that gets great results and high quality software for less money. I've proven it with hundreds of Software Professionals and with global software development at my own companies.
