One would always expect excellence nothing else, and excellence can solely be measured on the basis of the end product quality and this can be simply achievable through owning an expertise Team. So, client’s prime objective is to get the best software developed by the best of the exceptional industry professionals.

In offshore development methodology, the Team which is developing the software is located abroad, so the tangible distance between the two parties is higher making the two parties miles away from each other. Even if you hire the best Team, then also the most important thing is the communication process involved in the project. Building a new software requires high level of interactions within the offshore and onshore Team, so that one can share multiple, miscellaneous ideas and concepts with each other in a flawless fashion. In turn, proper communication will ensure the easy grasp of the project by whole Team (Onshore and Offshore).

In OSD model, the client needs to invest from their resources on the process of initial project training. This training is necessary because service providers needs to understand the project details with respect to client’s existing architecture & system.
