Some challenges
As with all other things, engaging the services of offshore software development companies is not always a walk in the park.
- Cultural differences can pose impediments and concerns. Offshore companies may also have limited knowledge of the local market where their clients operate.
- You must be ready to face concerns in communication, such as occasional misunderstandings due to language barrier. English is the means of communication and both clients and supplier should be able to express themselves in English well to get their messages across.
- The time differences can work both ways: If the client needs a task urgently and the software development company is in a different time zone, the need is not addressed as urgently. On the other hand, if you’re a client in the West, you can conveniently give tasks before your day ends and find that your company on the other side of the world has done it by the time you wake up.
