This case study examines the impact of an outsourcing initiative on an Information Services Company that reduced its in-house developer teams by 40%. By leveraging BlueOptima’s historical data analysis, the organization was able to quantify significant cost savings without sacrificing development productivity.
The client had recently reduced their in-house developer teams by 40% and moved to using more outsourced talent. They were looking to discover how this outsourcing initiative was and had affected their overheads and productivity.
After implementing the pilot, BlueOptima was able to demonstrate the historical change between having insourced vs. outsourced developers. The Developer Analytics platform was also able to determine the economic impact of using the in-house developers compared to external developer teams.
BlueOptima analyzed the last four years of data to uncover the effect of these historical changes.
Due to outsourcing, within one quarter the client was able to save between $400,000 and $600,000 (USD). This saving was conducted without any sacrifice to productivity and over the next year, their estimated savings were anticipated to be approximately $2,000,000 (USD).
For this particular client, reducing in-house software developers by 40% was seen as a great benefit because they were able to work with lower-cost outsourced developers.
