Your summary is quite good. Indeed, we failed a lot. Please note that we used offshoring providers for all locations. And only after successful work on one of our products, we decided to build our own office and hire our team in Ukraine
We shared only our own experience. We never outsourced to the Philippines that is why it is not there. We mentioned these rates because we were the end customer of IT outsourcing services. Only in Ukraine we set up our office and started hiring people directly
Wow, smart approach! I can tell you that one of our clients recently hired an external tech consultant to evaluate the code and make sure it is done right. I guess it is a good approach too.
Thank you for your comments. We shared only own our experience so talked about countries where we outsourced our software development. To date, we have two offices - in Dallas and Ukraine. For years, we worked remotely so we have in place all systems and processed. We are also a product company so we decided to set up our own office. But for a few years, we used a dedicated team model
Thanks for sharing it. We follow quite the same best practices both for our Dallas and Ukrainian offices. And yes, we are about the value as well. But usually, companies outsource either to cut their costs or to reach talent that is not available locally. That was the reason why we outsourced.
