Offshore development has become increasingly popular in recent years as companies look for cost-effective solutions to their software development needs. However, working with offshore developers also comes with its weaknesses which can outweigh its financial benefits. We at Intrepid offer the best of both worlds, using offshore developers, understanding how best to use them in an effective and productive delivery model, as well as consultants on-site.

Our approach centres around encapsulating the delivery of your outcomes through a service structure. As a consumer of our service, you won’t have to worry about how your outcomes are delivered only that you get what you want when you want it, and at the level of quality you expected. Our team will manage the offshore development capabilities and you still benefit from the cost savings.

Below is our approach for how Intrepid can help mitigate the downsides of using offshore developers:

Culture Fit

Instead of investing your time learning how to integrate the offshore developer's culture into your own, Intrepid are here to determine the most effective ways of getting the most of out off-shore developers talent and abilities. Our team is very experienced with several different work cultures and styles from around the world.

Questionable Quality

We ensure offshore development talent adheres to Intrepid’s high standards of quality in software development. Intrepid will work with offshore developers to ensure the standard of quality work meets your expectations.

Communication Issues

Intrepid provides native, local representatives to act as the interface of our delivery service. You’ll be working with our team members who can take your requests, requirements, and questions and then relay/translate them into concepts that our offshore development teams can culturally understand.

Conclusion

It is very easy to get blindsided by the amount of money that can be saved using offshore development, not realising that by doing so, it means you won’t achieve your business outcomes. We have seen companies all too often not get what they want or end up spending just as much (or more) time, effort, and/or financial cost than was intended. At Intrepid, we know how to make the most of offshore development and can help you get all of its benefits without the downsides.
