Offshore Software Development Company

Offshore software development (a.k.a offshore custom software development or offshore application development) occurs when a client outsources development to a team of programmers (an offshore development company) located in a country different from the client’s location, often in a different time zone.

With respect to the location of clients and software development providers, there are three types of outsourcing: onshore, nearshore, and offshore software development services.

A software engineering team that performs onshore development services is located in the same country as the client. An engineering team that performs offshore custom software development (offshore application development) services is located in a country different from the client’s location. For a US company looking to hire offshore developers, such developers usually would be in Eastern Europe, India, or Philippines.

SiliconMint, an offshore software company, provides high-performance dedicated teams to accelerate development velocity and enhance productivity.

Here are the most popular destinations to find a good offshore software company that provides offshore custom software development (offshore application development) services:

With respect to the client’s location, offshore software development services (offshore application development, offshore custom software development) are provided by dedicated software development teams located in another country with a different time zone. Our offshore software company uses the time-zone difference to our clients’ advantage - get in touch with us to find out how.

Like offshore software development services, nearshore software development services are provided by teams located in a country different from the client’s location. However, in the case of nearshore software development, the development teams are located in a neighboring country, often in the same time zone. For example, a nearshore location for the United States would be Mexico or Brazil.
