What are good jobs to send offshore?

There really aren't many rules here.  We have examples of jobs being sent offshore from nearly every hardware platform, environment and type of application. From the latest JAVA application to maintaining legacy mainframe systems or just data entry, you will find companies specializing in what you want.

Examples

Client Server Conversions:   Large numbers of legacy or older applications have been sent offshore to be converted to client server or have Graphical User Interfaces added.

Web and E-Commerce:  Many Offshore firms have extensive experience in the latest web and e-commerce applications.    They can take the job from the initial design re-design your site to have a new look or add functionality.  Some firms specialize in maintaining large e-commerce sites, which includes things like maintaining on-line catalogues, updating prices and database work.

Advanced Engineering:  One of the world's largest hardware companies has the BIOS for all its PC products written offshore. Another of the largest companies in the world does parametric modeling work for it appliance and turbine divisions offshore. Another develops advanced algorithms offshore.

Time Sensitive Customization:  A part of one companies activity was to customize forms for its customers.  They cut costs and increased delivery speed significantly by transmitting all requests received during the day to an offshore company. In the morning, the work is returned done.  Another company has its customers transmit similar work to them over a link on their web page.   The jobs are picked up by the offshore company and returned directly to the customer.

Maintenance and Product Customization, Bug Fixes:  One very large high end engineering company moved an entire division offshore to handle all its software bug fixes and customization for specific customers.  It has proven to be faster, of equal or better quality and far less costly

Multimedia & Animation:  Several publishers of games, information CDs and animated applications (including TV animation) use offshore resources. Your CDs can even be produced in some of the world's most modern facilities.

Technical Transcription and Data Entry:   Several firms send jobs like medical transcription or entry of engineering, medical or scientific information offshore. Highly trained personnel with Masters or Ph.D. degrees are available for a fraction of domestic costs.

Offshore companies can take your project at any stage. Some send projects that are only in  the concept stage while others send a single area of a project they lacked some resource for.  In the past, most have used Offshore companies to handle overload. Now, it is common to see whole divisions being sent offshore.
