The concept of outsourcing is not new, and today many tasks are being outsourced by both big corporations and small businesses. Outsourcing mobile application projects is more popular, compared to in-house project operations. In fact, the current trend of outsourcing application development is ruling the market. It is often a better option for businesses because outsourcing their development task typically saves a lot of money and time. This has proved to be very beneficial for both the businesses and the application development companies.

There are several benefits of outsourcing your application development work, few are highlighted below:

PROS AND CONS OF OUTSOURCING YOUR APPS

In the introduction, we touched upon a few of the pros of outsourcing your app and mentioned that there are also some possible disadvantages that we want to make you aware of. Making allowances for these pros and cons will give you the information you need to make the best decision for your business.

Before we dive in, there’s an important distinction we need to make about the choice of development companies. There may be dozens of offers in your local market, but what if none of them will meet all your requirements of time and money?

Then it makes sense to look for a team that is outside your local area. You may find that an offshore solution is a great option if you can’t find exactly what you want in your area.

Working with an offshore company provides numerous advantages including better price, timing and quality, which can be even higher than local sources. But there may also be some pitfalls for you as the client if you aren't familiar with partnering up with offshore outsourcing companies. But don't worry. Later in this chapter, we will discuss some things to consider before choosing an offshore company to design and develop your mobile app.
Pros of Outsourcing Mobile App Development

First of all, let's define the general tasks and principles of working with outsourcing companies. An outsourcing company is a team of developers and managers whose task is to help a client focus his resources on the actions that are the most important in their business and delegate other functions to a professional partner. In other words, an outsourcing company helps to build a successful business by assuming some of the client’s duties. In our particular case, it is mobile app development.

One of the main outsourcing advantages, costs saving, helps you, the client, not only to reduce the development costs, but also to invest this extra capital into new development paths for the company. Now let’s look at all the advantages more closely.
Reduced Cost

Outsourcing saves money by making it possible for a company to avoid hiring its own in-house team of developers for one project. And then there's the fact that a business who uses an outsourcing company doesn't need to invest in extremely expensive technology, just to be used for the one app they want to create.

Here are some specific ways this cost reduction comes into play when outsourcing:

• Outsourcing means the client doesn’t have to spend time, efforts and money on recruitment and training process. Instead, the company can allocate its resources to other vital projects to grow its market and authority.

• Outsourcing allows clients to get the services of the highest quality at a lower price.

• Outsourcing means no investment in full-time employees, which means there's a huge saving in not paying out for benefits and salaries.

• Outsourcing means less time and resources in the organization of the workplace and infrastructure. This is something the development company has already done.

• Outsourcing, in most cases, means the client pays a fixed price. This can be a huge savings if problems are encountered while developing and testing the app.
Increased Speed and Quality

As long as you take the necessary time and care into hiring the best company for your business, you can feel confident in the quality of work you will receive. Outsourcing mobile development companies specialize in a particular trade, and only that trade-designing apps. Because of this, you can trust that their employees have extensive experience and skill.

On the other hand, hiring a new employee is always a risk. There’s always the possibility that the employee will be less competent than they claim. With an outsourced company, all terms of quality and conditions are listed in the contract, so you should be guaranteed quality because the outsource company has already vetted their teams.
