Outsourcing is solid and expensive PDF Print E-mail

Everyone heared about outsourcing, however, there are not many people who knows its history and fully understands why is it needed.

Really outsourcing is a very popular now. There are a lot of freelance programmers who try to employ themselves with it. Outsourcing is a very comfortable work. Freelance programmer is not dependent from company manager, is not forced to give back part of his work to employer, ect. There are so many reasons to become freelancer that we will not list all ones.

It is widespead idea now that outsourcing is good work for students and schoolboys only, that freelancers are not professional programmers and bad specialists. As a result a lot of potential customers are afraid of outsourcing. Especially it is about offshore outsourcing to international freelancers. Customer doesn't know who is international programmer, is he professional or just beginner who can not find traditional work in office and tries to learn programming for custormer's money. Really, some not professional freelancers work in style: "I will do a lot of attempts and finally I will get success". This is really bad idea and it compromises outsourcing. Practically it is impossible to become good freelancer for man who never worked in traditional software development teams.

We want to remind that outsourcing was created by skilled and expierenced professionals. These professionals have worked a lot in traditional software development teams and decided to employ themselves. Theirs objective is to dictate job prices themselves and make more money. That is why they start outsourcing. Theirs work will never be cheap. Sometimes outsourcing costs will be even 2-3 times more. Outsourcing to professionals will be expensive. However, if you will entrust your project to skilled freelancer you will get high quality product, enhance your business and will have a lot of profits from outsourcing. This can never be cheap. Outsourcing cost will be at least the same as in official firms.

Outsourcing products are usually exclusive. Outsourcing product is not shareware created for some common needs and typical customer. Outsourcing addresses to your specific needs. Outsourcing is work especially for you. This is additional argument why outsourcing can not be cheap.

We can summarize all things said above in next 5 thesises:

  • It is better to work 3-5 years in traditional software development firm before you will try yourself in outsourcing. You risk to spoil your own reputation and even entire outsourcing idea. However, this idea is already seriously spoiled by not professional fortune hunters. They use outsourcing because it is "fashionable". Remember: outsourcing is not game. Outsourcing is business.
  • Don't think that outsourcing and freelancer's work will be cheap if you want to get high quality product. Freelacer will charge you accordingly to his expierence and work amount. Be sure - YOU need it. You need reliable, secure and bugs free product. It is normally and fair that freelancer will want enough fee for this.
  • Outsourcing is solid and profitable if and only if you have enough baggage of knowleges and skills. If you are not expierenced, don't think that freelance is a good way to train your skills.
  • Outsourcing is expensive if and only if you work with good specialists. Dillettantes are cheap. You have to be able to distinguish professionals from beginners. The easiest way is to ask freelancer for his portfolio (jobs done). However, some times you can see swindlers who will create fake portfolio or show any site in Internet to you and say that he is its author. Another and usually more reliable way to find out freelancer's expierence is testimonials. Ask freelancer for sites or software developend by him, contact theirs owners and ask what do they think about this programmer. Testimonails are critical thing in outsourcing.
Please keep in mind that this article does not pretend to be full and comprehensive outsourcing analisys. Its only objective is to uncrown some outsourcing related mythes.
