| Improving's Rural Sourcing strategy is a high-value, alternative to local, near, and offshore outsourcing. In this model, development centers are created in remote, but major, University communities. By combining industry leading technologists with highly motivated and talented University graduates, Improving has assembled some of America's most productive and affordable development teams. Furthermore, regional proximity to major cities provides convenient access when in-person communication is desirable. |
| Achieving optimal results at a reduced cost is becoming increasingly important in today's competitive business environment; almost every company faces this challenge, especially in the area of technology. As a result, company executives have applied tremendous pressure to shift IT work offshore in order to leverage lower labor rates in Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America. While the promise of savings lures many companies, most are disappointed in the overall return of their initial offshore investments. |
The difference between expected and actual offshore yield can occur for many reasons, however, underestimated risk and project suitability are two of the most common causes. As a company contemplates technology outsourcing, it should therefore carefully consider their expectations in the context of risk and compatibility. A thorough understanding of these factors will result in sound decisions, saving significant time, effort, and frustration.
