About the eBook

This comprehensive eBook, "The True Cost of Software Development," explores the often-overlooked factors that significantly influence the True Cost of Development (TCOD) when working with offshore teams. While many focus primarily on hourly rates, the reality is much more complex. Hidden costs can accumulate throughout a project, impacting both timelines and outcomes in ways that may not be immediately apparent.

Beyond just the numbers, this eBook covers the direct and indirect expenses that can hinder the success of your offshore projects. From communication barriers and time zone misalignment to productivity gaps and quality control challenges, understanding these factors is key to making smarter, more cost-effective outsourcing decisions.
