The People Behind Great Software.

Traditional outsourcing typically operates as a separate vendor team in another country, communicating asynchronously through specs and deliverables. Globally sourced engineering teams integrate engineers from multiple regions into one operating model with shared culture, processes, and timezone overlap with the client. The difference shows up in daily collaboration, code review participation, and design decisions. Outsourcing minimizes cost. Globally sourced teams optimize for outcome quality at a moderately higher cost. The right choice depends on what the project requires.
