What to keep In-house and What to Offshore?

  • Do you have a compelling product idea? Want to
    build a new product? Are you new to outsourcing
    industry? And would like to understand what you
    should keep in-house and what you should
    offshore?
  • There is a very important need to be educated
    with truthful knowledge about offshoring rather
    than just eaves dropping rumors about how bad
    could offshoring be for your business.
  • Here is a quick sneak peek about what steps you
    should perform before thinking of you need or you
    dont need to offshore.
  • Lets put a table under the headings Skills,
    Capacity and Budget which might help you
    understand and decide

  • Assessment for what to keep in-house and what to
    offshore
  • Steps while planning what you should keep
    in-house and what offshore
  • Thoroughly evaluate your business, finding the
    right and precise vision. Segregate what
    functions are performed that are strategic or
    have direct security related effect. May include
    research and development, unique core
    competencies.
  • Based on the main goal of the company search out
    those tasks that can be carried out outside
    company also at a rather affordably cheaper rate.
    May include backend development activities,
    usability engineering, maintenance and testing
    and QA.
  • After having searched those categorized tasks,
    determines to what extent i.e. part or whole
    would you like to bake out offshoring. Also
    details of what amount of control do you need on
    those tasks.

  • Based on this chalk out a line-up of all the
    potential vendors. If you feel you cannot find
    them yourself, it is always good to look up to
    your business advisors or close associates,
    fellow companions or even your clientele.
  • The factors that you should consider while cherry
    picking your vendors is the model they
    comfortable to use, how long and to what
    magnitude do the vendor have experience in that
    field, goodwill in the market and also
    availability of enough bandwidth of resources
    that match up the International standards.
  • Last but not the least what cost would the vendor
    quote and what you think is suitable for the task
    almost equate to satisfactory range. After all if
    the task is going to cost a blast even by
    outsourcing then it would be like I am ready to
    shut my business down.

  • So if you follow these steps the things fall
    easily into two categories Responsibilities and
    Tasks. I have used five main important pointers
    to check out the criticality of the business that
    the project creates on the company.
  • Have a look,
  • Do you know about the background, methodology and
    combination of technologies needed to
    successfully execute the project?
  • Is there a specific time to market that you have
    to adhere to? For example do you have to launch
    your product before Christmas or start of school
    year.
  • Is this project going to lead to one of the crown
    jewels of your company, how core is it going to
    be to for your companys business goals?

  • Based on these pointers I have bifurcated
    prominent areas that might falls under
    Responsibility which you might want to keep
    in-house
  • Research and Development
  • Modules which involves IP and security issues
    (patented formulae, algorithm etc.)
  • And the areas that might falls under Tasks
    which you might want to offshore software
    development with no restrictions would be
  • Back-End modules
  • UI/Visual Designing
  • Usability Engineering
  • Performance Engineering
  • Product/Application Porting
  • Testing and QA
  • Maintenance

  • In-house or offshore finally rests on the amount
    of significance it can bring by either making it
    at home or send it overseas.
  • Today one can even outsource end to end or part
    of the project with seamless integration offshore
    and still be very satisfied and at profitable
    end.
  • The fact lies in what kind of business relation
    you are able to evolve with the outsourcing
    company and the kind of commitment it is making
    to your project.
  • In the end your project, be it small or big is
    just like your child, you know it well what is
    best for it and what isnt, right?
