The Case For Re-Onshoring Your Development

Introduction

Offshoring is a common choice for large-scale digital projects, chosen for its cost-saving benefits. However, it often comes with challenges that can hinder project success. Stunn addresses these challenges head-on, using AI to onshore bulk development so that it is both cost-effective and efficient. Let's explore offshoring issues and how Stunn offers a viable alternative.

The Offshoring Landscape

Historical Context

In 1996, General Electric offshored its IT for the first time when it opened its centre in India; the tech industry has increasingly relied on offshoring, a trend primarily driven by the desire to reduce operational costs. This approach, while cost-effective, has introduced several challenges that can affect the quality and efficiency of project delivery.

Common Issues

• Time Delays: Operating across different time zones can create significant delays, disrupting workflows and extending project timelines.
• Scope Creep & Misunderstood Briefs: The lack of clear communication often leads to scope creep, where projects expand beyond or fail to identify their core objectives, escalating costs and timelines. Language barriers and cultural differences can result in misunderstandings, necessitating revisions and causing delays.
• Toxic Relationships: Engaging with third-party offshore teams via outsourcing intermediaries can sometimes strain relationships, y impacting collaboration and affecting project outcomes.
