If you need an outsourcing software company for web application development or mobile app development be aware of the following issues before committing to a new vendor.
Location and time zone differencesLocation and time zone differences
The location of your Outsourcing Software company in comparison to your location will make a difference. Especially if you are talking about a four-time zones difference or more, it might not seem like a big deal now but just wait until you need an urgent update, and the response needs to wait until the next day… Then a 4 hours difference translates into 15 or 18 hours in a time lag. Depending on the nature of your project you may decide between a nearshore or offshore Outsourcing Software company.
- Nearshore is a company that shares your time zone or is below 3 hours’ indifference. I.e., if you live in the U.S nearshore hiring would be any country within the Americas.
- Offshore is a company with a considerable time difference, for example for a U.S company that hires an Outsourcing Company in Europe or Asia.
