Follow on Google News | New Jersey Software Company Puts Faith in Made in AmericaA new trend of "Made in the USA" has emerged in banking, manufacturing and high-tech industries. Mantra, a custom software development company from NJ recently closed its overseas operation joining groups of companies favoring work done in the USA
Mantra, a custom software development and consulting company (http://mantrais.com) This ‘reshoring’ “Everyone tends to think that the offshore software development is cheaper because they only compare labor costs.” Says Mantra’s CTO, Maulik Shah, “But when you add costs associated with the management overheads and productivity differences, cost savings vanish or become negligible.” Whereas offshoring was once considered a competitive advantage, it is now often considered the opposite. Why has offshoring become so disadvantageous for app development companies (http://www.mantrais.com/ Time zone differences is a big factor. China and India are on the other side of the world and 8-10 time zones away for US East coast. So when American managers are getting to work their offshore counterparts are leaving for the day. Gone are the days of 24/7 support and night shifts at the offshore firms. More and more offshore companies are adapting normal business hours. This leads to a lack of live communication, loss of efficiency, and stretched timelines. Language and cultural barriers have also made utilizing overseas workers more difficult. Colloquialisms aren’t always understood and the meaning and intention gets lost in translation. “The US market is extremely competitive and every business wants quickest time to market with top notch quality which is only possible when you have project teams with up-to-date technical skills and in similar time zones with the ability to have face-to-face meetings when required.” said Shah. By ‘reshoring’ With the rising costs of offshore programmers, availability of high-skilled local talent, and innovation required for creating exciting new products, the US tech industry is embracing the reshoring trend.
