| Business Overview |

| Offshore at a Glance |
| |
| The need to rapidly complete large development/maintenance and high priority projects has caused many organisations to consider outsourcing work rather than conducting it in-house. A major reason for doing this is the reduction in costs that can be achieved, compared to those incurred if the work is executed in their own IT department. Development time can also be shortened, especially if the company does not already have the skills required to undertake the project. Outsourcing development and maintenance overseas is termed Offshore Development. The same concept, procedures and processes, when used locally in South Africa is termed Offsite Development. |
