Engineers are in short supply around the world. Top companies monopolise the best software developers, leaving everyone in fierce competition for talent. However, local hiring is no longer the only way to recruit. By building an offshore development centre (ODC), an organisation can develop software in a way that is often impossible in-house. An ODC is a team — or several teams — of engineers based abroad that act as a seamless extension of your team at home.
Through offshoring, western companies can gain access to talented engineers, previously unavailable to them, from talent-rich locations such as Asia and Latin America.
