Outsourcing Your Software Build—If and How

If you’re trying to figure out whether to outsource your custom software build — and if so, how — this one’s for you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to onshore vs. offshore vs. nearshore.

It all depends on where you are in the product lifecycle, how clear your scope is, and what kind of internal capabilities you actually have. I’ve led hundreds of these builds over the years, and I’ve seen too many teams burn budget, time, and momentum by picking the wrong model too early.

If you’re deep in the weeds on this topic or just kicking off a build, I hope this helps you navigate your options a little more confidently.
