6 Questions
that IT outsourcing companies usually get from their potential clients
How will I handle my outsourced activities?
Well, it all depends on the way you decide to
collaborate with your team. You work with people, whom
you don't see or meet everyday but that’s why Skype is a
great solution: as fast as asking a cup of
sugar to the girl next door. Plus, you usually get
to choose at least the key persons of your outsourced
team and this team will share the
responsibility for the projects. The airlines are
also making our lives easier, so it could be just a matter
of hours to meet your team.
1.
When it comes to taking into consideration outsourcing, one of
the goals of every company is to reduce costs, but
still keep a quality code. Well, maybe this is one of
those situations when “High quality, competitive
price” is not just a marketing phrase to catch clients and it
can really be accomplished. If you choose the
right partner you can get a balance between price and service
levels. It’s well known that in Eastern Europe, in countries like
Romania, Bulgaria or Czech Republic you can find very
talented engineers and competitive prices.
High quality and/or low price?
2.
Is outsourcing for big players only?
There are small and middle business owners, who don’t
consider the idea of outsourcing because of the wrong
statement that only large companies
can do it. We strongly argued that you can get quality
at a good price, so for small enterprises, this
could be an opportunity to reduce costs and
ensure growth. Usually the HR administration
is made at your partners’ headquarter, so here is one
thing less to worry about.
3.
How do I get the right person for my team?
In a globalized society, distance is the
last thing you should worry
about. And here is Skype again, a great free tool,
that could help you choose your team, according to
your requests. Either in your office or at distance, the
technical test it’s a “must” when searching for the
right member of your team. Discussing the
issues encountered in the test is the best way to
follow the logic of your candidate and
his personality. So again, distance should not
be a problem.
4.
How about the barriers of language?
This is an important worry that companies have, because
understanding the instructions is essential for
accomplishing tasks. Even if programmers usually speak
English, you should pay attention to the level of
understanding of the language and carefully
choose the countries you would like to work with.
In all cases you should get informed on how the education
system is promoting foreign language learning
in that country.
5.
To be truly successful, IT must always be aligned hand-in-
hand with the overall business goals. Metaphorically
speaking, if your business is a bicycle, then IT greases the wheels.
Consider your outsourcing team, a group of experts that will help you
achieve your goals. If you don’t have the competences that
you need for a part of your project, outsourcing allows you to
collaborate for a determined period of time with the
“perfect match” for your existing team and get rid of all
the administrative work for hiring and firing somebody. A strong
business must always be one step ahead competition.
Do I really need this?
