IT Outsourced Development

We understand that engaging in an offshore outsourced service model for IT application development is a strategic way for organizations to reduce their IT costs, improve the productivity of internal teams and deliver value to the business. However, the typical challenges that can exist when an organization looks to offshore development can be daunting to say the least.

It is important to go with an offshore services provider that has the expertise and stability to reduce these risks and help deliver on the organization's expectations.  CDC Global Services has the depth of knowledge and the global footprint to enable our customers to experience the cost and productivity benefits, while reducing their exposure to risk or failure due to common outsourcing pitfalls. 

Look Before You Leap

Are you thinking of outsourcing a business function for the first time? Have you outsourced before but didn't get the results you expected or would like to "look before you leap"? 

CDC Global Services' Outsourcing Readiness Assessment helps our customers take the functions they are considering outsourcing and map expectations against business goals, current state processes and performance metrics. It is a perfect first step as part of a well-planned, strategic outsourcing effort.

As a result, you will have an accurate picture of the organization's readiness to move a project or entire development efforts offshore.  We can also help build a roadmap to readiness, enabling our customers to avoid some common pitfalls that can lead to failure in an outsourcing initiative.

Why Choose CDC Global Services For Your Outsourced IT Development?

Experienced Resources and a True Global Footprint

CDC Global Services is able to help our customers successfully achieve their outsourcing objectives because we have the expertise and global reach, with development facilities in both China and India.  Through our parent organization, we have a heritage in China and are able to help our customers successfully reap the cost and productivity benefits of offshore development while reducing their risk.

Consistency and Quality Through a Mature Development Environment

A common risk for outsourcing is that there are quality and consistency issues, especially as you scale up.  CDC Global Services has a mature development focus. Our Beijing development facility is CMM Level 3 and is expected to acquire a CMM Level 4 designation in 2008. This means that based on an accepted industry standard, CDC Global Services development teams have implemented standard processes and controls across the development organization to ensure quality and consistency.

Your Intellectual Property is Secure

CDC Global Services Beijing facility is ISO27001 certified. This ensures we have a level of security in place to minimize security concerns and protect our customer's valuable intellectual capital.  We also employ physical security measures, including 24/7 video surveillance and electronic card key access to keep our facilities secure.

Avoid Communication Challenges

Another key challenge when it comes to outsourcing, particularly in China, is the potential for a communication barrier.  CDC Global Services has an English-first training environment for all development resources. Also, our customers will be given a single point of contact that is fluent in English.  This will help reduce the risk of communication challenges and misunderstandings between the team and our customer.
