Offshore IT and its benefits

Are you considering developing custom software for your business, but don't really know where to begin? How can you ensure that you choose the right provider to build what you need? If you’re asking these questions, then this article is for you!

Finding the right company to develop your custom software is far from easy. This article aims to show you, step by step, how to distinguish the good from the bad when it comes to choosing a partner for your software development project.

We take a look at the pros and cons of different approaches to IT development.

As the global economy becomes increasingly digitized and businesses rely more and more on robust IT infrastructures and assets, the need for software development has exploded. This has created a situation of scarcity in the developer market, with the pool of talent in many countries not being able to keep up with demand.

IT project management is far from an exact science. According to a 2018 study by the Standish Group Report “Chaos”, 31% of IT projects are halted before they are ever finalized, and never go live. Additioanlly, 53% of IT projects see their budget forecasts balloon by 189%.

With those stats in mind, let’s discover two little-known but very effective ways to avoid having your IT project fall victim to failure.

Enlisting the services of an external IT team is a powerful strategy for any company.

While the Covid-19 crisis has brought a halt to much of the international travel and mobility we have taken for granted over the last four decades, it has not managed to stop the underlying force beneath it: globalization.

Relying on an external team for your IT needs can be highly rewarding, as long as you follow certain steps.

As an IT outsourcing company, we have plenty of experience in understanding what makes an outsourcing project work. Unfortunately, we have also heard plenty of stories from new customers who have run into all kinds of trouble getting involved in outsourcing projects in the past, which has made them hesitant to give it another try.

The easing of lockdown measures is accelerating across Europe, and companies have been eagerly awaiting news from political leaders on how and when they will be eased further.

Experience from the past few months has taught us at least one thing: in times of uncertainty, the most vulnerable organizations are the ones that are the least agile.

The Covid-19 crisis has propelled telemedicine and e-health directly into the daily lives of consumers and patients.
