What is Outsourcing
IT outsourcing is a common practice, used by different enterprises and businesses, to transfer parts of
the work of a project to outside suppliers. Outsourcing software development is an efficient cost-saving
strategy, due to the lack of maintenance of the internal workforce performing the tasks you need.
Companies can outsource projects to mobile and web agencies to obtain a specific IT service or create a
complete information management plan from a software strategy, analysis, coding, installation, to
business management. There are two main types of outsourcing:
Offshore
Offshore means outsourcing cooperation with an agency from another country and sometimes a
continent. As far as information technology work is concerned, offshore outsourcing is usually done
in countries with low labor costs, and tax savings with a stable political situation. Today, this
practice is very common thanks to high-speed Internet connections and globalisation processes. But
the pursuit of the lowest cost of application building is not the only reason for outsourcing. Some
businesspeople choose this kind of collaboration to sidestep the competitors in other countries.
Onshore
We at Magora focus on applications for iPads and holistically understand the scope that iOS
operating system offers for the creation of innovative applications. The creation of an application
for Apple devices takes lots of effort as we are looking to tap into the user base of Apple through
iPhone and iPad; hence our project team consists of immensely skilled developers and iPad app
programmers who have ample experience of working on Apple’s App Store and iOS.
The cost of outsourcing software development varies due to a range of different factors, from app
functions, design requirements, design team size, to the location of developers. The software design
can represent 10% to 30% of the overall project budget.
The Cost of Software Outsourcing
Design skills are crucial to the success of
the project, and if you entrust the design to established markets in Europe, be prepared to charge
around 100 to 200 pounds per hour. Compared to different rates of studios around the world, you can
see the trend of European countries more expensive than Asians. But at the same time, the size of
the company is not always equal to its rates. Small businesses do not have the overhead of large IT
agencies, and offer a more sophisticated and innovative development model, which is why they feel
they can charge more. When a global vendor with thousands of employees charges £ 40 per hour for
software development, small business prices can reach £ 70. The website developer site also issues.
Developers, working in cities where the cost of living is high, for example in London, will be asked
three times as much for development.
Onshore Development Costs
The cost of development in reputable software companies in the UK can be very high for emerging
projects. With an average cost of £ 35,000 - £ 50,000 to build the first version of the product,
some reputable agencies can charge up to £ 100,000 for an MVP creation.
Depending on the number
of
platforms, functionality, design requirements, the price ranges from £ 20,000 to up to £ 400,000.
But paying that money, you get full access to the process of software building and quality
assurance.
Offshore Rates
The amount of money to spend on software outsourcing depends on the type of program you need to
create. But a factor like human capital also affects the cost. If you use Indian developers, the
hourly rate may be less than £ 20 due to low labor costs. At these rates, a simple app can cost from
£ 5000 to £10,000, while the cost of a complex solution can increase to £ 35,000. For sure, making
regular updates and dealing with users' issues will increase the cost of development. But it's just
something you can see on the surface. Risks arising from offshore outsourcing include the cultural
gap and the language barrier that causes a misunderstanding of the basic concept of software
requirements. In the end, offshore outsourcing runs the risk of getting a poor quality or completely
non-operational program, which requires code verification, debugging, and even rebuilding. Keep in
mind that you get what you pay for and estimate the risks that work for your offshore IT service
provider.
Clients
Outsourcing Developers
Whether you prefer to work with the onshore developers or take the project overseas, you will find a
similar situation, starting with cooperation based on a money commitment. This is a search for the
perfect IT partner. Let's give you some tips that will help you in the pre-development phase:
Define Your Requirements.Before outsourcing your software project, get a complete
understanding of your requirements
for the IT solution you need, and determine what you want from an app or a website. The lack
of a clear definition of what the product is, and what it is supposed to do, will lead to
misunderstandings; and therefore the final product will not meet the desired expectations
and goals. In addition, any uncertainty can worsen communication with the contractor, and
change the development process by increasing the cost of the program due to higher expenses.
Working with a reputable company such as ours, you can count on our analytical department to
help you create a successful IT strategy. Cost can be significantly reduced if the
requirements list is defined during the planning phase.
Search for an IT Company. If you know the type of program you want to develop, you
can
find a development team
specializing in this area. It's good to find specialists in creating the kind of software
you need. If you need an enterprise-class program, contact corporate software builders.
However, if you want to create a game that works on iOS devices, you should check out the
best game builders. One of the best ways to find a reputable company is to review websites
such as Clutch or leading developers where you can find company descriptions, ratings, and
referrals from clients. Visit the developer's website and have a look at their portfolio.
The company may have experience, which can be useful for the work on your project. Also, the
way the website looks may say a lot about the capabilities of the team and the aesthetic
sense.
Talk to the Bidders Feel free to talk to the companies before hiring any of them. You
need to know a team of IT
partners because building an application can take months, and all this time you need to
communicate with them and work collaboratively. You can use messaging software, such as
Skype, to discuss the idea in a real-time mode. Among the programs and other websites that
can help you know your first knowledge, is Google Hangout, Facebook, Viber or you can fill
out the feedback form usually provided on the websites of software companies. However, the
messaging platform is a way to get in touch right away. Talk to the developers, evaluate
their willingness to answer your questions and help you get a clear picture of their
services. Discuss the application, make sure you're explicit about your demands, and tell
about the platform, features, and design requirements you need.
Creating Features After selecting an agency that meets your outsourcing needs,
discuss the milestones of the
project. Milestones are the points at which a certain part of the work is completed. These
features help you navigate the development process and gain an understanding of where the
project is standing. If you outsource our software company, we will assign a committed
project manager who will create a contact calendar ensuring that you contact you on specific
dates throughout the project progress by providing the update on project status.

Why Outsource Software Development
If you want to develop a detailed software solution for business purposes, outsourcing app
development can become the most suitable option for you. It provides numerous advantages, from
expert help in concept creation to verification and fast time to market. The most logical thing
about outsourcing is the constant and regular interaction with the project manager dedicated to the
project, which saves your time and brings your interests to the company and leaves the focus on the
core aspects of a business. The process of outsourcing activities has improved efficiency because
these tasks need to be explored and implemented by another entity. At the same time, the project
manager keeps you informed about the progress of the project by regularly providing you with the
results. Detailed software development requires a lot of effort, time and money to invest.
Outsourcing to an existing development agency instead of building a team at home is a great
opportunity to reduce the cost and simplify an app release. According to Investopedia, businesses
that outsource certain services save about 15 percent due to lower costs.
