OffShore Outsourcing: An invincible strategy to double your profit

Outsourcing is always a point of discussion at times of heavy workload or complex projects for smaller or bigger IT companies. It is like a horn of dilemma kind of situation for any entrepreneur to decide whether to outsource or to have an In-house team.

Though the concept of outsourcing has been in implementation since ages, it evolves nowadays largely with the evolution of technology. Technology makes it more practical, especially for the IT companies who like to deal with companies situated overseas. Hence, the question of “How to outsource IT Projects” is no longer be an issue. However, as mentioned above, the question “whether to Outsource or In-house?” remains as it is.

“Why to outsource and how outsourcing is beneficial?”

To understand this, let us first move to giants, who are outsourcing.

If we look at Samsung, Apple, or any mobile company, we know that they are outsourcing their mass manufacturing to China. Why these companies outsource to a far distance even when the transport cost adds in mobile segments? The answer is simple… Because it’s hard to ignore factors like cheap labour, government policies, technology expertise, a line of production etc in China which results in an annual cost of production (along with the transport) reduce to one third or even lower to cost if they make it in-house (or in their own country).

It’s like an all win strategy where an outsourcing company gets benefits of faster completion, low production cost and most importantly no burden of processes like hiring and employee management.

On a flip of a coin

The offshore company having some sort of expertise in a particular segment will get projects to work at a niche rates. The skilled people get employment while providing services to a company situated in some other country.
