Offshore Software Development Services

Build, Operate and Transfer

If you employ more than 4 people to do your software development in the UK, you have a new option to reduce costs. Why keep spending more?

You can employ 4 highly qualified developers in Offshore for the cost of 1 in the UK. Why are you not doing it?

Here are some FAQs

I don’t want to offshore  something as vital as my Software Development.

We fully understand – this is NOT outsourcing. This creates your own overseas Software Development or Support teams are your own dedicated employees who  are selected to your specification. They work for YOUR COMPANY.

I am concerned that I will not be able to control the output, quality and deadlines.

IBM,SAP, Temenos and MicroFocus are a few of Delta’s clients that have successfully built and run offshore development centres – with the right management quality is  NOT an issue.

It is true that some other smaller vendors have tried with poor results but Delta has been managing software development groups for our clients for year and specialise in small teams. We ensure that your offshore team perform as expected. We only employ the best people for you who have relevant experience of your market and applications be they main stream( for example .net/Java), legacy (e.g. Cobol) or niche (e.g Coldfusion) . Tell us your skill requirements and we will  source them.

We will be in different time zones, what if I need to contact the overseas team?

It is not an issue. We can run the offshore  teams  to your local working times – we often do. Or we can run offset time to ensure round the clock concurrent development and testing as you choose.

I’ve heard some horror stories of overseas development teams going wrong

Overseas software development has matured greatly in the past few years and Agile methodologies combined with  BOT models ( Build, Operate, transfer)  have emerged as a response to these issues and to avoid them.

I don’t know if it’s worth the effort. Our software development team do a good job.

It depends how much you value additional profit. The cost savings on 10 developers being based in offshore could be as much as £350,000 a year and 30 could add £1m to your bottom line.

It all sounds very complicated. I don’t have the resource to manage the process

It is very simple and straightforward. Delta’s UK and our Offshore management team  take care of everything - local accommodation and administration, staffing, HR and day to day project management, to ensure you get the results you need. We can also offer hosting, IaaS / PaaS with built billing/payment and provisioning modules so you focus on your application

I wouldn’t consider losing my existing key developers and their knowledge.

Nor should you!  When you need core creative team onshore development resource –and offshore standard development, process documentation, special projects, testing and support options and  when staff leave and need replacement or when cost savings need to be made - these are the times to act.
