How are the offshore partners qualified?
Any
offshore partner we introduce to a client has been through a
comprehensive
qualification process. We screen all new development partners using internal
projects to ensure that their dedication and commitment to quality is on the
level our clients expect. Every provider that we make available to a client
has successfully completed relevant work for us in the past by successfully
completing internal projects for Shanq Web.
What kind of savings can I expect by going offshore?
The savings of going offshore can be dramatic. Our consultants can identify
which projects are the best candidates for offshore work in order to maximize
your benefits with minimal risk. A properly run
offshore project can result in
a savings of over 50% compared to domestic providers.
What other benefits are there to working with an offshore team?
In addition to the cost savings, your project will enjoy
greater flexibility
and improved quality. Your current project budget will suddenly allow for a
more experienced team, which can result in a better quality, better tested,
and better built application.
Who manages the project?
With our expertise in the field of web development processes,
Shanq Web is in
a unique position to create an ideal management scenario for any project. We
will oversee all project activities to ensure streamlined communications and
maintain quality. As the client, your involvement can vary depending on your
needs, and your desire to participate. You will have full access to our
project managers.
Offshore companies are easy to find. Can't I just find my own offshore partners?
Of course! You are welcome to locate and engage your own
offshore development
team. However, given the challenges of software development and the complexity
of planning a software application, we find that most clients would rather
eliminate the risks of
offshore development by having an experienced firm
handle the legal, contracts, management, and qualification of the offshore
team.
Can we manage the offshore team ourselves?
Yes, as the client you are free to assume complete control of your project.
Clients who opt to manage their teams directly must assume a Time and
Materials offshore pricing model at a fixed hourly rate.
Can we get an estimate before we start?
Yes, simply request a free project consultation and we'd be happy to provide
an estimate for your project. The estimate, once finalized, can be used as the
basis for a fixed bid
offshore pricing model.
I am an offshore provider, how do I join your network?
Request a
partner application via the contact page.
What about the time difference?
Working with a 9-14 hour time difference is easy if you take the appropriate
management approach and style. By consolidating all project activity into a
distinct daily cycle, the pace and momentum of the project can actually be
enhanced by the time difference, as each project member conforms to a cycle of
daily deliverables and communications. Time deferred cycles also lead team
members to document their feedback and queries , which
further streamlines communications as the entire team works towards new goals
every day.
