Outsourcing woos for small business.
Are you choosing a freelancer for your development needs? Or
think cheaper can do better? Please give a second thought. Hold
on and analyze your decision again. It is always better to think
again and again as it gives you a chance to rework the whole
process.
I have several instances where freelancers' makes merry to an
outstanding concept and project owners either drop the project
or go to an established company to complete its project. The
reason behind this is mainly lone warrior taking all the pawns
alone and unable to meet the pace. It does not matter how much
strong the person is in his field or I have doubt over its
capability. I am just trying to differentiate teamwork and
individual efforts. Below are several reasons which justify my
views:
A coder cannot be a debugger at all. Though it applies for
software outsourcing but I use this thought for all. You need a
person who can test the entire things closely, so that the
system will work steadily.
Freelancers are preoccupied with there work and can not devote
100% of there work. Most of the Indian freelancers work some
where and does it in there spare time. Where as in west those
who are freelancers do not work any where else but an
independent worker.
Individual person have limited time and resources. The quality
of the services affected heavily by this. Where as if it is a
team work, there is always a better chance of latest technology
implementation.
The reliability and deliverability is a big factor. How a person
justify to its work when his or her mind is preoccupied with
other thing. What will happen if a person disappears in the
middle of the project? You will have to start again and spend
same time with others too.
Most of them jump from one project to another. They keep every
one in there hand and result of that, your project suffers. A
freelancer cannot afford refusing client, he always look for a
better project too. The moment he/she get other project in hand,
your one will be delayed or
Ever calculated the cost of the project outsourced to a
freelancer? Any freelancer agrees to do the project in initial
stages, but feel he is under quoted on the later stages. This
gives more pressure on you as you can leave in the middle of the
project.
Honesty and integrity is expected from either side. Most of the
companies does not like there staffs working on other
people's
project, as it affects there project. If a person is not
committed to the company where he work, how you expect he will
be committed to you. There are many instance of adding a loop
into solution, so that the importance of the person will
maintained.
What happened if something happen to your application after you
paid fully to a freelancer? If you need some more feature or
need to rectify something, either you have to pay again or find
some one else again. It's a real pain.
About 80% of the freelancers feel that they under quote a
project and companies are charging much. Most of the Indian
freelancers evaluate there cost comparing them selves with
companies charging in west, instead of there own evaluation and
justification. A total disaster for employers.
No value for commitment. Whatever terms and condition you agree
with them, will not be honored completely. Work should be God
and creativity is a fun. But employer have more and more
pressure till there project is completed and executed.
Above are some of the grievances every one face in outsourcing
field. Why not opt for a small company who believe in team work.
The average rate of an Indian freelancers range from $5 to $30
per hour depends upon the complexity of work. Where as small and
medium development a company charges the same and gives you
service guarantee. Even a company with 5 staff will have a
project manager, proper communication channel, separate person
who test the solution as well as developers and designers. They
work as a team and deliver best results. They have a pool of
freelancers who work for them and they have people who monitor
and help them.
Conclusion: Today earning money is every one's dream. But the
earning through ethical means and terms add value to your life.
Freelancers or developers need to devote there 100% as there
creation may become a landmark for others. Employers also need
to justify the needs of a person and its ability. People should
not take Human Errors as protection, but deliver the project
honestly.
