Outsourced Software Product Design and Development

For over 10 years Silicon Space has been providing web-based software solutions for mid-sized to Fortune 50 companies.

Web Software VS. Traditional Software

The lines between Web-based Software (software that runs in a web browser) and Traditional Software are blurring on a daily basis. What used to be operating system specific software can now be programmed using internet browser technology. Advantages of web-based software include:

  • Allows for centralized upgrades and repairs
  • Frees up internal staff for other prioritized tasks
  • Accessible by employees world-wide
  • Common functionality can be shared among different applications, resulting in faster development cycles and lower costs

Total Cost of Engagement

Leading firms today are considering the Total Cost of Engagement (TCE) as a holistic view to expenditures when evaluating outsource software development partners. TCE is more than just man/hour rates for team members’ efforts. TCE also considers costs related to:

  • Turnover rate within a vendor's team
  • Project overhead
  • Allocation costs at client site
  • Telecommunication costs
  • Transition and knowledge transfer
  • Travel to partner's facilities
  • Internal staffing costs

These factors and others contribute to the overall cost of an engagement and should be considered in addition to man/hour rates.
