Global sourcing can be a solid strategy for cutting costs. But companies are now looking offshore to accelerate application development and increase its throughput as well. But sending development work outside the company can be risky. Without flawless communication the result is oftentimes delayed projects, missing features, cost overruns and unhappy business units.
