Before we begin

Your questions, answered.

What to know about offshore development center, from project scope to ongoing support.

01What is an offshore development center (ODC)?

An ODC is a dedicated, long-term offshore team that operates as your own remote office — branded, staffed, and supported but located in a lower-cost geography.

02How is an ODC different from outsourcing?

Outsourcing is project-based and usually shared. An ODC is dedicated, long-term, and works exclusively for you with full alignment to your processes and culture.

03How much can we save with an ODC?

Most clients see 40–60% cost reduction vs onshore hiring, with comparable or better engineering quality.

04Where can the ODC be located?

Our delivery hubs include India and other strategic geographies. We help choose based on cost, talent depth, and time-zone fit.

05Do we own the IP?

Yes. All code, data, and IP belong to you, with strict NDAs and security controls protecting it.

06How long does ODC setup take?

A small team can be up and running in 6–10 weeks. Larger centers (50+ engineers) typically scale over 4–9 months.

07Can we visit the ODC?

Absolutely. We encourage executive visits and even on-site rotations to build trust and team cohesion.

08What about compliance — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA?

We identify the security, privacy and industry requirements relevant to your project during discovery. The scope can include access controls, encryption, audit trails, testing and evidence for your review. Specific certifications, legal obligations and independent assessments must be confirmed for the individual engagement.

09How do you keep attrition low?

Senior pay bands, learning budgets, clear career ladders, equity-style retention bonuses, and engagement rituals — average ODC attrition stays under 8% annually.
