Highlights
TechSmart before working with Smartsourcing Global had engaged an offshore team. The relationship failed due to communication gap, unskilled resources and turned to be ineffective investment. We have unique experience on board to deal with issues of global software development and we quickly could help TechSmart to settle with a very lean team with appropriate experience and satisfactory ROI model. We started with one project and now we are involved in 4 different projects.

TechSmart needed a reliable partner who can provide an offshore team to support their ongoing Java and J2EE development. They required a well managed remote team which can lower their operational cost but will not add management overheads and could transfer the risk to the technology partner.
TechSmart had worked with an offshore team and were dissatisfied with the results. There were multiple issues including communication, quality of work, level of expertise and accountability.
The Solution
Smartsourcing Global has a solid experience in working with Global teams. We could lay out the perfect offshore team structure, communication plan and efficient process to make the efforts of TechSmart maximize.
Our role involved hiring and training the resources, proactively participating in the technical architecture design, development and product testing. Our team worked as an extension to TechSmart’s lean team in New York and provided great support to make the distributed development successful.
Smartsourcing Global’s strengths made it a perfect match to provide TechSmart with cost effective rapid development:
• Expertise in developing Web applications
• Experts in working with distributed teams
• Value addition
