What enterprise teams usually ask us
What is an Offshore Development Centre (ODC), and how is it different from outsourcing?
The main difference between Offshore Development Center (ODC) and outsourcing is that in outsourcing the resources you hire aren't in your control they are allotted to work in your project as per your requirement, on the other hand in ODC, the resources are hired solely for your company, they follow your policies, work under your local teams and you have full control on the developer from hiring process to the workflows, tools and daily operations. Another big difference between the two is that ODC appoints developers for the long term; on the other hand, outsourcing just rents the developers while they are hired by the vendors only.
How long does it take to set up an ODC?
In normal cases, the process of setting up an ODC can take anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks, from the first step of planning to the last one, onboarding. But the time should be extended or reduced on the basis of team requirements, setup conditions and differences in any other feature or requirement.
What are the cost benefits of setting up an ODC?
There are multiple benefits of ODC setting, but the biggest advantage is cost effectiveness. The cost of setting up an ODC in comparatively cheaper countries saves a huge amount from the process of setting up the office to hiring a team because of the lower survival cost of the country, while the same recruitment in your local area can be 40-60% more costly. In addition to that, the business also doesn't have to worry about recruitment and employee benefit expenses as the recruitment-related work is handled by the ODC provider.
Which industries or business sizes benefit most from an ODC model?
ODCs are mainly for mid-sized companies who needed the retained developer team at lower cost, or for large enterprises that are constantly increasing and require large development teams for the long term, such as SaaS companies, fintech firms, healthcare tech providers, and ecommerce platforms. While startups which are rapidly scaling and want a dedicated technical team for handling it without the pressure of the recruitment process.
How do you ensure data security and IP protection in an ODC setup?
Data security and IP protection are ensured by the ODC vendors by implementing strict NDAs, IP assignment agreements, securing VPN access, having ISO-certified infrastructure, and role-based access control in the development environment.
