Offshore Software Outsourcing Blunders - Ouch!
that hurts
Over a short period of time, software outsourcing
offshore has become an inseparable part of the modern IT business.
Perhaps this is the time to look back on the usual blunders committed
during offshore outsourcing. The points listed below will certainly
keep one from stepping into wrong waters.
- While you approach order fulfillment companies, take care not
to enter into long- term contracts initially.
- You must have an IT strategy, which has a patrollable boundary
between your responsibilities and that of the outsourcing firm.
- Get a contract, which spells out performance measurements on
the basis of an established objective. This will be the corner
stone of the process.
- Once you have outsourced a service or work, leave the service
provider to do his work. Don't try to mess up his work by implementing
unnecessary control.
- Always remember to outsource your work to a firm who has an
established track record. Otherwise your whole software outsourcing
could end up in a disaster.
Staying clear of offshore software outsourcing
blunders will save you a whole lot of problems having to go through
a painful learning - unlearning cycle.
