Problem Posed: Client had developed a great product-suite concept and had a design ready to be implemented. Some prototypes were also ready. However, the availability and cost of high-quality technology human resources was a severe problem limiting the rate of development and launch of the products.

Inkorus Problem Analysis: The window of opportunity was very small and the product-suite needed to be launched in a quick time-frame. Further, the budget was totally constrained in terms of hiring the required number of employees in UK. Even if the budget permitted, once the products were fully-developed the enhancement teams required would be much smaller and there would be an issue of what to do with the rest of the employees.

Inkorus Solution: Inkorus suggested that offshore outsourcing to India might be the way to go. Indian Offshore solved the problem of cost and budget constraint. Further, it speeded up the product development several times due to the larger total number of working hours available. Further, the outsourcing part solved the problem of what to do with the extra employees once the major development work was over.

End Result: Even though there were initial challenges in terms of cultural adjustments and typical distance related problems, these were overcome through sustained commitment on both sides to make this model work. The software product company was pleased with the arrangements and the product development otusourcing has worked to their satisfaction. They are now going for further development work on other products.
