This is actually a misguided notion of the term “outsourcing.” Certainly, the use of overseas resources (more accurately known as “offshoring”) is a type of outsourcing, but the more general idea of outsourcing is simply engaging an outside entity to perform tasks that your organization does not have the ability, desire, or resources to do in-house. Chances are, your business may be an outsourcing destination for your clients. Even purchasing a round of sandwiches for your team during lunch is, essentially, outsourcing lunch duty to that restaurant, rather than having your team spend time making sandwiches.
Whether the task is cleaning the bathrooms or developing custom software, outsourcing can be a good thing—if you choose the right provider.
"Working with us means total transparency. That means full access to our project management tools or even spending time in our office with our design & engineering teams."

Even if your organization has an internal software development team, chances are good their expertise and experience are limited to a handful of (possibly obsolete) technologies. The departure of one person from such a team often can cripple the team’s ability to maintain existing systems or develop new ones. That’s why outsourcing software development is an important option to keep in mind. Consider these advantages of choosing a software shop for your custom software development needs:
The big picture is that outsourcing your software development projects to a dedicated team of specialists ultimately saves you time and money, with quicker turnaround, application of the right technology, and delivery of a solid, complete software solution that meets your needs from Day One.
Choosing a software shop, therefore, doesn’t have to mean engaging an unknown team on the other side of the planet. The team at AndPlus are all right here, just a phone call away, and the only thing we like better than talking with our clients, and meeting with them face-to-face, is delighting them with compelling, innovative solutions to their business problems.
