IT outsourcing is a strategy in which you leave parts or all of a software development project in the hands of an experienced supplier.
All the benefits of having an outsourced development team are even more powerful when the supplier is located in a nearby country, with cultural proximity and with which it is also possible to reduce costs.
What kind of IT professionals can you get by outsourcing?
The human talent that can reinforce a software project can come in various forms. For example, a group of professionals can strengthen an existing development team.
There are also cases in which the supplier creates teams from scratch, considering the client's needs and objectives.
For any of these scenarios, it is crucial to understand which processes can be strengthened by applying an outsourcing strategy.
