• High-level management. Outsourcing is a perfect solution for reducing expenses and resolving all indirect problems as quickly as possible. Companies save 40 to 60% of the budget for developing a product with the services of Ukrainian outsourcing programmers.
• No rigorous hirings. Instead of running tiring hiring campaigns, you receive necessary services and save money for training and supporting the professional development of your current staff.
• Reasonable responsibility distribution. With outsourcing, your company manages its resources in the most beneficial way, concentrating on the main tasks and core goals.

Busting common myths

Myth #1: Customers become dependent on outsourcing agencies.

The main interest of outsourcing specialists is completing the task in full accordance with the terms of reference as soon as practicable as it is their way of making a profit and supporting their agency’s reputation. Besides, the customer can quit the contract whenever they deem it desirable and hire a full-time specialist.

Myth #2: Outsourcing causes leakages of important information and data.

A contract between a customer and an agency is legally binding and includes provisions about data storage security. Statistically, the primary source of data leakage is full-time specialists because their individual intentions often go against the company’s interests. On the other hand, outsourcing agencies aim to prolong the cooperation for as long as possible, so they avoid provoking such unacceptable actions at all costs.

Myth #3: Outsourcing agencies set unreasonable prices and constantly raise them.

Of course, the very first payments may be significant, but they do not happen frequently and cover a vast majority of services. Also, the pricing is subject to thorough negotiations between both parties.

To sum up, the main fact destroying the myths is the global demand for outsourcing, especially in Europe, the USA, Australia, etc. Therefore, outsourcing is considered a reliable way of management that makes a good investment in your company’s development.
