Software Development Outsourcing Benefits

When strategically integrated within IT and business operations, Software Development Outsourcing brings many more capabilities than is possible through a series of “one off” engagements or simple substitutions of lower cost offshore resources for more expensive domestic staff. These capabilities deliver the following direct business benefits.

Lower Costs

As a starting point, using offshore facilities reduces the unit cost of IT and business process work products. Additional reductions occur when outsourcing is used to decrease IT costs through a powerful combination of greater efficiency, optimal sourcing, and targeted improvements. For example, an objective of a long-term outsourcing engagement is better management of the portfolio of IT assets to eliminate or rejuvenate costly, underperforming applications and infrastructure. Implementing more effective IT applications can reduce the cost of business operations by enabling improvements such as faster inventory turns in a warehouse. Optimizing business processes supported by the applications provides further benefits by reducing per transaction costs.

Improved Business and IT Performance

Greater effectiveness in handling core IT and business operations frees resources for valueadding activities such as launching new products and services, entering new markets, and better serving customers. Implementing outsourcing best practices increases IT productivity to reduce backlogs and eliminates low-value break/fix activities to free IT resources for more strategic, value-adding opportunities. These practices improve responsiveness, shortening elapsed delivery times and bolstering nimbleness in addressing opportunities and competitive threats. For example, faster delivery means shorter cycle times for launching new products, which leads to higher revenues and greater competitive advantage. Enhancing application quality and architecture brings new flexibility when assimilating systems and data from corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The ability to more rapidly capture the benefits of M&A activities creates new opportunities to grow market share.

Increased Organizational Flexibility

Software Development Outsourcing provides companies with the organizational and accounting flexibility to respond rapidly to changing economic conditions and emerging market opportunities. Access to a large pool of skilled professionals enables companies to adapt quickly to new technologies without bearing the time, cost, and learning curve of retraining internal staff. Executives can scale operations up or down swiftly as needs and market conditions change. Staff acquisition outsourcing models allow companies to shift personnel from fixed internal budgets to variable external cost structures.

Software Development Outsourcing helps companies manage their portfolios of business applications to gain greater value from their IT investments. It handles the full lifecycle of application services, from initial design, development, and integration, to ongoing management and eventual retirement of software. Software Development Outsourcing can be implemented as a replacement for or an adjunct to internal IT application services. You the company maintains responsibility for company and businessspecific subject matter expertise as well as IT architecture and strategic development. The service provider ( i.e Neologix ) takes responsibility for applications maintenance and support and portions of development. Software maintenance and support are necessary overhead to keep the business operational and are ongoing requirements despite economic cycles and changes in corporate strategy. This function benefits greatly from outsourcing provided improvements in operational efficiency to reduce costs and free resources for strategy development. Conversely, development efforts vary widely based on business conditions and competitive needs. In this case, outsourcing provides a variable pool of resources that can expand or contract to respond to current needs. Although not part of an Software Development Outsourcing engagement, IT infrastructure is frequently a component of an overall outsourcing strategy and may be outsourced separately or as part of a combined package.
