Reduction risks in Outsourcing for Sports Software. Expertise.

Outsourcing and offshoring are ones of the most trending terms now, especially in IT industry. Apple assembles devices in China, Microsoft has development centers in India, Google has offices for various locations all over the world. There is nothing new in such model of business but not all deeply know the real pros of that.

The first and obvious fact of advantage is costs. Costs of specialists in one countries are less than in others. So if the business processes allow, it is cheaper to hire someone in Eastern Europe or Asia than in US or Canada.

But if that’s true, why still there are so many local teams and IT service providers in USA, Canada and European countries. The answer is simple - risks. Not everything can be easily outsourced.

The most common risk of outsourcing is expertise and business related experience. While the company or freelancer that you are hiring can be rock star in Laravel or Java, they can be absolutely nobody in your business domain. And if you add here language and time barrier and you are facing difficulties in getting from them what you exactly expect.

True story? Absolutely!

In Fantasy Sports area, outsourcing is very poorly used. Fantasy Sports niche has so many specific elements, custom rules, complex logic processing, that explaining that to the remote team becomes a big problem. That explains why the big operators are still running everything locally.

That’s true for any custom and complex business area.

But there is a solution.

While others are seeking super rock stars in IT development, do your best and narrow your research down to those, who are experts in your specific area and skip the companies, who work for all kinds of businesses. When it comes to fact that it took you 10+ years to develop your business it is hard to believe that person, who heard about that almost nothing in 2 weeks will know the same as you.

Domain specific IT providers have much deeper knowing of the area and have wider outlook, that make them a great partners and not only vendors or suppliers of raw code. Domain specific IT сompanies can allocate you the team that knows the rule of your game and, as a benefit, you can utilize great business analysts that can come with valuable suggestions and advices coming from the research they provide continuously.
