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
