ATTENTION SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS:

Finally… a how-to guide for
professionals who are uneasy
about the risks of
offshoring
their software development

If you're someone who is responsible for software development - if you're a CEO, CTO, VP or Director of Engineering; or if you're a CIO, Director or Manager of application development and you are grappling with the issues of offshore outsourcing...

This is for you.

 My name is Steve Mezak. I'm the founder and CEO of Accelerance, Inc. and author of Software without Borders. For over 25 years I've been working in the software industry in the Silicon Valley area of California.  And in the last 6 years I have been using a very unique approach to help software executives like you to get started quickly and safely with offshore outsourcing of software development.

In the process of working with hundreds of clients and their offshoring, the following are some of the issues I've heard over and over again. Some - or all of them - may sound familiar to you:

Outsourcing horror stories. Encounters with dishonest or incompetent vendors that will take your money and deliver software that doesn’t work, or deliver nothing at all. If you could roll back the clock to time before the Internet and avoid offshoring completely, that would be perfectly OK with you!

Offshore vendor “overpopulation”. You’ve heard of the mega-vendors from India but they’re too big to give you the attention you need. So you’re left with late night searches of the Internet trying to compare hundreds (actually thousands) of smaller vendors to find the one that meets your needs. Or you settle for referrals from friends and wind up with only one or two vendors. And that isn’t much of a choice at all.

Less than optimum results. Whether you've tried a few things or many things, nothing has really produced the results you had hoped for. You may have even concluded that offshoring doesn't work for your kind of software development and rely entirely on good, but expensive local software engineers.

Follow the crowd to India or take a World Tour. Everyone talks about outsourcing to India, but you wonder if it’s getting too expensive. And what about the huge time difference? There are other offshore and nearshore destinations but how do you select the best location?

OK, if the above fits you, please keep reading. If not, this book is probably not for you.

Despite the fact that Software Executives are pressured to do more with less and cut costs to the bone, many see offshoring as a "threat." They know they need to go offshore – but where? And with who? What they want is an easier, better, more effective and safer way to use offshore programming resources. If you're like them you also want...

A way to determine if offshoring is right for your company. It isn’t always. You want an objective way to compare all the options including in-house development, contract outsourcing, BOT and subsidiary creation.

A well-defined vendor selection process. You want a vendor selection process that lets you evaluate choices quickly and without opening a Pandora’s Box of vendor sales people. You're tired of hearing them tell you about their company and each one saying that they are the best.

An objective discussion of the pros and cons of offshoring to various world regions. If you happen to be from a country that is a popular offshoring destination then your choice may be a no-brainer. But if you are a unilingual American with your most “global” experience being the placment of an order at your local IHOP then you want concise and relevant information to help you decide where in the world to offshore your software development.

Ways to measure and manage your offshore software development. You may be a technical lead or an expert programmer but these are only part of the skills needed to manage your offshore development. Even if you are an experienced software development manager, communicating over a long distance and at odd hours of the day (and night) requires adjustment. You also want to know how to spend your time, money and effort for the best possible return.


It's actually easy to accomplish these objectives once you start using a proven system that has worked well for others.

Software without Borders gives you that system:

  • Choose the right vendor quickly and confidently
  • Stay in control of your outsourced software development projects
  • Achieve on-time, on-scope, and on-budget results
  • Fiercely protect your intellectual property
  • Decide when to create a subsidiary for even greater savings
