Getting offshore development to work Considering Sakshay as a development partner for your projects in Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and other open source frameworks or product development using PHP/MySQL?
Here are answers to some questions you may have: Does Sakshay have experience in handling outsourced projects? Yes, Sakshay has been engaged in design and delivery of outsourced projects since 2000. Have you handled projects from Europe and USA? Yes. Sakshay has to date worked for IT agencies and end-customers in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Singapore and USA. What are the kind of projects you have delivered in the offshore development model? From custom web-based PHP and ASP applications during the start of our business in 2000, to websites, enterprise-applications and web-applications using frameworks based on PHP, Perl and Zend. Sakshay has worked with Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, Moodle in recent years. Sakshay also has deep experience in design, setup and troubleshooting of Linux Servers. Lately, Sakshay has helped customers in product prototyping through its best-in-class practices in designing and building web-applications and portals. Does Sakshay have enough spare capacity to take up regular projects? Sakshay currently has a professional team of 40 people in all. Outsourced Joomla and Ecommerce projects occupy most of our time, and most of these projects are ones with small turn-around times, thus allowing us to commit to dates for new projects with small lead times. However, we have a certain dislike for urgent and pressing projects, simply because they are already under stress, and are thus at high risk of creating further stress for us, your company and the end-client, thus leading to a lose-lose-lose situation for all. We would love to strive towards win-win-win situations. We've never engaged in offshore development? What are the things we need to be careful about in order to ensure success with Sakshay? Outsourcing a project, whether it is from USA/Europe to India or even from within the same city has some common challenges. Sakshay has prepared a list of challenges that outsourced projects face, and some solutions we have learnt over time and adopted. We hope this will provide you some insight into what best practices Sakshay and some of its customers have used together, leading to successful outsourcing. |
