Offshore software development implies that the
headquarter of a company you cooperate with is
placed somewhere far away from your native
country. As a rule, there is a significant time
zone difference.

Offshore software development benefits

• Reduce costs on development
• As a rule, offshore software development
  companies are concentrated in regions with low
  fees and cost of living. That's the reason why
  the cost of software development services is
  lower than in most countries. For instance, in
  Ukraine you will pay 15-50/h, while in the US
  this number ranges between 50-200/h, in the UK
  50-100/h etc.

Qualified specialists

No doubts, the offshore software development
company should be competent. This means it should
be placed in a country with a big number of
specialists. If you compare the quality of tech
specialists in the US or other countries to
European ones you won't find any significant
differences



Scale with ease

Offshore software development model makes it easy
for you to scale up and down. Development is a
tricky thing and you never know exactly how many
developers one or another stage of the project
may require. Respectively, if you have too much
or little developers involved in a project, it's
a matter of a message to solve this problem
