In economic times where organic growth is hard to come by, offloading non-core work to offshore team is a powerful consideration. Teaming up with a smaller player can offer the organization a greater flexibility and quicker time to market - a key advantage now as the economic climate means every minute and every dollar count more than ever.
However, as easy it is to say Yes to Outsourcing, it is as difficult to get both the in-house team and offshore team going along smoothly, till organizations go back to boardrooms to dig deeper into analyzing the dynamics of split teams.
As project teams become more geographically distributed, communication becomes more difficult, and this problem is exacerbated.
This whitepaper is a sincere attempt by Mindfire to analyze oft-encountered situations which any organization dealing with global teams would face on a day to day basis and suggests ways to balance teams - inhouse and offshore. The learnings from 1000+ projects we have executed at Mindfire have been shared in the whitepaper.
