Mission critical legacy applications take man years to build and evolve. With the emergence of e-businesses, global corporations need to ensure the continuity of these applications while harnessing the power of the Internet. With offshore software development the resultant benefits to clients are flexibility in directing its resources towards core business, assurance that existing systems deliver consistent service levels and the significant cost savings. Some of the offshore development service offerings from IQ Software are:

• Application Development;
• Application re-engineering;
• Application enhancements;
• Offshore maintenance support (Bug fixes, user support, and 24x7 support).

The key benefits to clients are:

• Zero integration and start up period.
• The ability to set measurable goals for growth.
• Benefit from a learning organisation.
• Potential to convert to a joint venture or subsidiary.

At IQ Software we provide application development services through our mix of onshore and offshore consultants.  As with other offshoring companies, offshore consultants are typically 50-90% less than the local equivalents.  Our onsite consultants are typically 35% less than local equivalents.

Offshore software development has become increasingly common since 2001 and our business has been growing steadily since.  Traditionally our business has come from Canada and USA, although since 2004 the courage to use offshore software development has come to the UK.

Our clients are realising that outsourcing companies are actually just another means to an end.  They always find that we are professional and the quality is second to none.  The initial concerns of losing control are quickly dispelled when they understand that 1) we are based locally so we are typically a short drive or telephone call away and 2) they can track the project progress in real-time using our IQproject portal.
