Offshore
software development:
Offshore development in the IT world is the term most often used
to describe the business of outsourcing software programming and
engineering services beyond national boundaries. The most common
justifications for offshore development is cost avoidance. Low-level
tasks such as coding and software testing can be performed in less-developed
countries at costs as low as ten percent of domestic ones.
Software manufacturers seeking international markets and needing
to localize their products to specific platforms, languages and
cultural requirements often find it most efficient to use offshore
development resources in or near their target markets.
The growing shortage of IT professionals, especially in the most
developed industrial countries, is rapidly becoming the most important
reason for offshore development. For instance, the U.S. Department
of Commerce reports that by 2003 there will be a shortfall of some
1.4 million computer programmers in the United States alone.
We created iDeveloperNetwork exactly for the companies interested
in offshore software development idea but afraid to deal with typical
offshore teams.
iDeveloperNetwork was created by British company Connected Place
Ltd. and Russian offshore software development company SoftLogic
Group. iDeveloperNetwork is a unique company that offers to its
customers extremely advantageous cooperation conditions. This became
possible because iDeveloperNetwork combined both advantages of SoftLogic
Group Company (strong resource, low prices, well-adjusted software
development strategy, etc.) and best features of ConnectedPlace
Ltd. (marketing experience in UK and US, local managers, etc).
Summarily
our advantages are as follows:
- High Reliability. We use
the services of best specialists from Russian scientific centers
(Moscow, Novosibirsk, Saint-Petersburg, Tomsk, etc.) and from
other countries with high offshore software development level.
We have a well-organized logistics structure that makes it possible
to use effectively the skills of these specialists. You can read
about it in greater detail in Our Structure and Our Operational
Procedures pages.
- High Service Level. iDeveloperNetwork
employs local managers (from Great Britain and USA) to oversee
client relations. Therefore, our service level is the same as
the service level of the "native" companies. You can

page.
- Moderate Prices. iDeveveloperNetwork
employs only offshore specialists to implement the projects (with
the exception of local managers), so it is possible to offer relatively
low cost and high quality services. The maximal rate on Software
Development Services now averages 25 USD/h. In most cases we work
under lower quotations (the exact price depends on many factors:
complexity and the size of the project, required skills, and so
on). The prices include full testing cycle the developed software
by Software Testing department of our Company. If your Company

we are ready to carry out the first task at a discount of 10-15%
to show you quality of our work.
