Best Practices #2: Offshorability Analysis

Do an analysis on the various applications and/or future projects for offshorability. Asses the amout of work that can be offshored. There are key factors to determine the onshore/offshore mix such as:

Level of interaction with end users

Use of formal processes and tools

Level of interaction with third parties

Clearly defined roles and responsibilities

Low level of interaction needs

Higher use of formal processes/tools

Low interaction with third parties
