What Is Virtual Team?

Virtual team is a concept that lies between outsourcing and getting a software or a web application developed under your direct command. In fact, you are managing people under your direct command, but at the cost that is close to what you pay for outsourcing.

In other words, virtual workforce is your own development team that works from a remote location and at a fraction of a cost.

Virtual Team versus Outsourcing

Particularly in the field of software and web development, outsourcing is an excellent way to get applications developed at low cost and high quality, provided you find the right outsourcing vendor. But this is not always the situation. In most of the cases, you do not find the right vendors. Everything you outsource is framed inside a contract. Any requested changes that fall outside the scope of the contract have to be paid extra. In the end, you pay more than the expected cost.

A successful software or web application is a never ending story. If it is in use, improvement requests keep on coming in. When the situation is so, virtual workforce is the right answer. You do not get additions and changes made under a new contract and at the vendor’s availability, but you in fact have your own team and at your own disposal. You are not paying them on contact basis or job basis, but on monthly basis. Hence, no limit to the amount of work they have to do for you. In short, everything is in the scope of the project without any additional costs.
