Outsourcing in general is a sensitive topic. Many countries prohibit outsourcing their jobs to other countries due to obvious reasons. Providing Jobs to other countries, when there are ample resources in your own may not be all that reasonable from many people’s point of view. Also is the fact that the quality of the product is often compromised when you look at an outsourced product. But there are pro’s to Outsourcing your work to countries which provide good quality work for a better price.

India is a country which takes pride in exporting one of the most valuable commodities. “Human Resource”. A good percentage of people working world wide in the Software industry are Indians. There are offshore offices in India for Amazon, Microsoft , Google and even Facebook. Outsourcing on the other hand is a great way to optimize cost of production (with regard to software you may call it development) as opposed to that in the origin country. But there are other factors which make outsourcing a lucrative idea for most small and midsized software companies in the developed world. Apart from the cost itself, there is technical knowhow and the ability to handle clients and projects with ease and understanding. Sometimes it’s impossible to know that a project is actually outsourced to another country as the communication is extremely advanced. From Voice call, video chat and live telecommunication, there is a lot of possibilities in improving business altogether with outsourced software development.
