What is Software Development Outsourcing?

Software Development Outsourcing is the practice of hiring external development teams to build, maintain, or extend software applications. Companies outsource software development to access specialized talent, reduce costs, scale quickly, and focus internal resources on core business activities. Outsourcing models include dedicated teams, staff augmentation, and project-based engagement.

Examples:

  • Dedicated development teams working exclusively on your project
  • Staff augmentation adding developers to your existing team
  • Project-based outsourcing for specific deliverables
  • Offshore, nearshore, and hybrid engagement models

FAQ

Software Development Outsourcing Questions

How much does software development outsourcing cost?

Software development outsourcing typically costs $4,000-$8,000/month per developer with our dedicated team model, compared to $12,000-$15,000/month for US-based developers. This represents 40-60% savings while maintaining enterprise-grade quality. Annual savings for a 3-person team can exceed $230,000.

What's the difference between offshore and nearshore software development?

Offshore software development refers to outsourcing to distant countries (like Malaysia for US clients), offering maximum cost savings of 50-70%. Nearshore development means outsourcing to neighboring countries with similar timezones. We bridge this gap by offering offshore rates with nearshore-quality communication—our teams overlap 4-6 hours with US business hours daily.

How do dedicated development teams work?

A dedicated development team works exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team. Unlike freelancers or shared resources, dedicated teams are fully committed to your goals, attend your standups, use your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub), and integrate seamlessly with your workflows. We match you with developers within 48 hours.

Is my intellectual property protected when outsourcing software development?

Yes, absolutely. We sign comprehensive NDAs and IP assignment agreements before starting any project. All code, designs, and documentation belong to you 100%. Our developers work on secure, audited systems, and we can accommodate additional security requirements for enterprise clients.

How quickly can I scale an outsourced development team?

You can scale your dedicated team up or down within 2 weeks. Need to add 3 developers for a product launch? We'll have candidates ready within 48 hours. Need to reduce team size after a milestone? No long-term contracts or penalties. This flexibility is a key advantage of software development outsourcing over traditional hiring.
