Offshore Delivery at Scale

Build a high‑performing Offshore Development Center that actually ships

  • Dedicated, long‑lived offshore teams aligned to your product roadmap
  • Proven operating model for governance, quality, and knowledge retention
  • Cost‑efficient capacity expansion without slowing your core team

When an Offshore Development Center is a strong fit

This model works best when you’re ready to treat offshore as a strategic capability, not just a cost‑cutting experiment.

You need to scale delivery without ballooning onshore costs

You have a growing roadmap but limited ability to hire locally at the speed or cost point you need.

You want a long‑term, dedicated offshore capability

You’re looking beyond project‑based outsourcing to a stable, long‑lived team that accumulates domain knowledge.

You’ve outgrown ad‑hoc vendor teams

You have multiple offshore vendors or scattered teams and need a coherent model with clear ownership and accountability.

You care about quality and IP protection as much as cost

You need strong engineering standards, security, and governance to protect your platform and data.

You need follow‑the‑sun coverage and support

You want offshore teams to provide extended hours for development, operations, or customer support.

You’re planning major modernization or platform work

You have significant re‑platforming, migration, or tech‑debt reduction ahead and need a focused offshore engine to execute.

Example Engagements

How clients use our Offshore Development Centers

B2B SaaS

Greenfield ODC for a SaaS product line

Set up a 40+ person offshore center to support a multi‑product roadmap: product engineering squads, QA, DevOps, and L2 support. Defined operating model, hiring profile, SLAs, and integration with onshore product and architecture leaders.

Financial Services

Rebooting an underperforming offshore vendor

Took over an existing offshore team with low velocity and high defect rates. Re‑architected team structure, introduced engineering standards, implemented measurable KPIs, and transitioned to a dedicated ODC with improved release cadence and quality.

E‑commerce

24/7 platform engineering and SRE ODC

Built an offshore SRE and platform engineering center to provide round‑the‑clock coverage, incident response, and infrastructure automation. Reduced on‑call burden for core team and improved uptime and recovery times.

Manufacturing

Data & analytics ODC for global operations

Established a specialized ODC focused on data engineering, BI, and analytics. Standardized data pipelines, reporting, and self‑service analytics while aligning with central data governance and security requirements.

Healthcare Technology

Product modernization and re‑platforming hub

Created an offshore center dedicated to legacy modernization and cloud migration. Ran parallel workstreams for re‑platforming, API enablement, and automated testing, freeing internal teams to focus on new product innovation.

Our Approach

A structured model for building and scaling your ODC

We combine operating‑model design, talent, and hands‑on delivery to create an offshore center that feels like an extension of your own team.

01

Define the ODC mandate and operating model

Clarify why the ODC exists, what it owns, and how it fits into your org. We align on scope (products, platforms, or functions), sourcing locations, engagement structure, governance, and success metrics tied to business outcomes.

02

Design teams, processes, and technical guardrails

Shape the team topology, roles, and seniority mix. Establish engineering standards, SDLC, security and compliance controls, tooling, and integration points with your product, architecture, and security teams.

03

Build and onboard the offshore team

Recruit and assemble dedicated squads, led by senior technical and delivery leaders. Run structured onboarding, domain ramp‑up, and shadowing, while setting up communication rhythms, documentation, and knowledge‑management practices.

04

Transition ownership and scale delivery

Move from initial co‑delivery to clear ownership of services, components, or products. Introduce outcome‑based KPIs, refine team boundaries, and scale capacity in line with your roadmap and budget envelope.

05

Optimize for performance, cost, and resilience

Continuously tune the ODC: improve throughput and quality, reduce dependencies, strengthen leadership, and evolve the skills mix. We help you build a resilient, low‑friction offshore capability that can absorb change and support long‑term strategy.

Business Outcomes

  • Predictable, scalable engineering capacity at a lower unit cost
  • Stronger delivery governance, quality, and transparency across time zones
  • Faster roadmap execution without burning out core teams
  • Reduced vendor risk through clear ownership, standards, and leadership
