Why not bring Developers here?

There are "Body Shop" organizations that will find and bring developers from other countries to the US.  However, when you bring a developer to the US, you wind up paying a US wage to a person who often has never lived in a country like the US before.   There is an adjustment period, and you just do not know how well this resource is going to work out and adjust to very new working conditions. Most work out OK, but some do not and others will use you as a stepping stone to a better position or a means to bring their family here.

We think you get MUCH more for your money by sending the job offshore

  • You get a whole team of experts that already works well together. 

  • Costs are MUCH lower.

  • Offshore firms usually can pull in extra resources quickly to handle the unexpected.

  • Good offshore firms are highly experienced at managing remote projects and communicating with US companies. 

  • Having your own established offshore team that is able to economically complete projects for you and to expand or shrink in size as needed is an extremely valuable resource.
