Offshore Development

Dedicated teams and full-scale development centers, structured for enterprise governance and long-term engineering operations.

OVERVIEW

What Is Offshore Development?

Offshore development is a strategic model where an organization establishes a remote development team or an offshore development center in a different geography — typically to access specialized engineering talent, reduce operating costs, and scale capacity without the constraints of local hiring timelines.

When executed correctly, offshore development is not outsourcing. It is an operational extension of your engineering organization — with the same tools, processes, reporting structures, and accountability mechanisms your in-house team follows. That is the model Mapos delivers.

ODC MODEL

Offshore Development Center

An Offshore Development Center is a fully managed engineering facility operated in your name. Mapos handles all operational aspects — recruitment, infrastructure, HR, compliance, and facilities management — while you retain complete ownership of the team, its output, and its direction.

What an ODC Includes

  • Dedicated physical or virtual workspace
  • Full-stack engineering teams hired to your specifications
  • IT infrastructure, security, and data compliance
  • HR operations, payroll, and benefits administration
  • Governance framework with SLAs and executive reporting

DEDICATED TEAMS

Dedicated Offshore Engineering Teams

A dedicated offshore team is a group of engineers — sourced, vetted, and managed operationally by Mapos — who work exclusively on your product under your technical leadership. Unlike project-based outsourcing, a dedicated team model gives you continuity, domain expertise accumulation, and direct control over priorities and processes.

How It Operates

  • Engineers report directly to your engineering managers
  • Onboarded into your repositories, tools, and workflows
  • Shared working hours with defined overlap windows
  • Scalable from a single engineer to a full cross-functional unit
GOVERNANCE & EXECUTION

How We Ensure Delivery Integrity

Regardless of the engagement model, every offshore operation at Mapos is underpinned by a governance framework designed for enterprise accountability.

Sprint-Level Visibility

Delivery metrics — velocity, burndown, defect rates — are shared with your leadership at the end of every sprint cycle.

Escalation Protocols

Defined escalation matrices ensure blockers are surfaced and resolved within documented response windows.

Security & Compliance

All offshore operations adhere to enterprise security policies including access controls, encrypted environments, and NDA-backed IP protection.

Performance Reviews

Quarterly reviews with your leadership team assess team effectiveness, capability gaps, and strategic alignment with your roadmap.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODEL

ODC vs. Dedicated Team

Both models give you direct control over engineering output. The right choice depends on scale, operational maturity, and long-term objectives.

Choose an ODC When:

  • You need 15+ engineers and expect to scale further
  • You want a branded offshore engineering facility
  • Multiple product lines or business units require separate teams
  • You require dedicated infrastructure and compliance controls

Choose a Dedicated Team When:

  • You need 3–15 engineers focused on a single product
  • Speed of ramp-up is a priority (teams operational in 4–6 weeks)
  • You want to test offshore operations before committing to a full center
  • Flexibility to scale incrementally based on delivery outcomes
