Download or read book Offshoring Information Technology written by Erran Carmel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to source software development to an overseas firm (offshoring) is looked at frequently in simple economic terms - it's cheaper, and skilled labor is easier to find. In practice, however, offshoring is fraught with difficulties. As well as the considerable challenge of controlling projects at a distance, there are differences in culture, language, business methods, politics, and many other issues to contend with. Nevertheless, as many firms have discovered, the benefits of getting it right are too great to ignore. This book explains everything you need to know to put offshoring into practice, avoid the pitfalls, and develop effective working relationships. It covers a comprehensive range of the important offshoring issues: from ROI to strategy, from SLA to culture, from country comparisons to provider marketing. Written for CTOs, CIOs, consultants, and other IT executives, this book is also an excellent introduction to sourcing for business students.

Book Synopsis Information Technology Offshoring by : Vikash Sananda
Download or read book Information Technology Offshoring written by Vikash Sananda and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outsourcing, as a business strategy, has been adopted for a very long time now. Offshoring, a subset of outsourcing, gained prevalence during the late eighties of the last century. Over the years, IT has evolved from being a back office procedure to a decisive and strategic paradigm, the rapid development of which has impacted, on a global scale, the way businesses conduct their operations. Offshoring has played a major role in bringing about this transformation and helping establish an industry of epic proportions in terms of geographical spread, operational diversity and impact on business and social aspects the world over. While popular perception identifies offshoring as the most effective way to trim business costs. This is not true for many reasons; the primary being, one size does not fit all and the cost-saving benefits are not always realized. The first half of this thesis aims at providing a better understanding of the IT offshoring industry by looking at the different types of outsourcing and offshoring, certain new trends that are taking form and have the potential to gain prevalence in the future, perceived benefits of IT offshoring and issues that need to be considered by an IT business before it adopts offshoring as a strategy to achieve its goals. Also, in order to demonstrate the impact of offshoring, we discuss certain implications of it on the computer science community with regard to computer science education. From a client business's perspective, there seem to be no consistent offshoring models to depict the big picture of how offshoring actually takes place. We present a general offshoring model in the latter half of the thesis that incorporates two-stage cost benefit analysis to identify candidate processes for offshoring. We then move on to present an IT process-offshoring specific model that has been derived from other models adopted by a number of client businesses and service providers, albeit customized to reflect specific process-offshoring needs. We call it the staged process-offshoring model. Our model is different in the sense that it establishes a balanced view of process-offshoring events taking place at both ends of the offshoring spectrum as opposed to presenting just strategies employed by the service provider to fulfill requirements of the client. With the model being structured in layers, each layer is present on the onshore and offshore end, which contributes towards the construction of a regulated offshoring management architecture in addition to demonstrating a job creation potential not just at the service provider location but, more essentially, at the client location.

Download or read book Outsource It! written by Nick Krym and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you need to expand your business but not your budget, if your group has an intense but short-term project, if you don't have the skill set to get a job done-it's time to think about outsourcing. Starting from the first step (should you outsource part of your tech work?) to the last (how can you protect your intellectual property?), you'll learn everything about setting up projects overseas. Sending your prized assets halfway around the world-or halfway around the country-takes a lot of courage for technical leads accustomed to doing things themselves. This book is full of real-life examples that show you how outsourcing really works. Learn how to choose your outsourcing destination by defining selection criteria tables and applying weights to them. You'll see how to pick the right vendor and understand why recommendations aren't the right way to do it. Then calculate the quality of the code your offshore developers turn in. You'll find out how to adjust your waterfall or agile project for an overseas team, and you'll see why outsourcing QA is not always the prudent approach. Your offshore team will never be as productive as your local team-you'll learn why that doesn't always matter. Finally, you'll discover how much money you'll spend to outsource and how much you can save-which is sometimes more than you'd think and less than you'd like. Written by an expert who's seen it all, Outsource It! will help you avoid mistakes and give you the confidence and the skills to take your project wherever it needs to go.
