Business-focused approach to software development

Reasons for outsourcing

Costs make the difference

  • CHF 100-150 hourly vs CHF 60-80
  • CHF 800 – 1200 daily vs CHF 480-640

Finding good IT talent is hard

  • Will developer choose your company vs Google/FaceBook?

Managing in-house software team is not easy

  • And hiring good technical project manager is hard as well

But why so many software development projects fail?

Complexity of managing team abroad

  • Software management is tough and offshore is harder to manage than domestic

Finding right supplier is not easy

  • And projects gone wrong are very expensive

Hidden costs

  • 62% of offshore IT contracts cost much more than businesses expect

Quality issues

  • The local standard of outsourcing company may not be as high as your domestic standard

Local law/traveling issues

  • Local law changes
  • Special requirements to contracts/invoicing
  • Travelling/visas issue
