Speakers

The economics of using foreign software development shops are very compelling on the surface because well-trained developers in India, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia cost a fraction of US developers. However, not all that shines is gold. Using foreign developers is not for everyone. What might be a perfect decision for some might bankrupt others.

The factors that determine success - or failure - are broad and deep. Do your homework and manage the project correctly, and you'll save a bundle and get the product you expected. Rush into a decision only because low hourly labor costs are too hard to resist, and you might sink your ship.

This intense workshop looks at the main aspects of the issue:
determining what projects are suited for development abroad, picking the right development shop, negotiating the terms of the relationship, and managing the project from pre-sale to post-delivery.

The workshop is divided into two parts. It is intended for executives and managers who make business or technical decisions related to the development of software either for resale (products) or for in-house use.
