While outsourcing computer engineers provides benefits in terms of low-cost labor, these benefits can often be outweighed by missed deadlines, dissatisfied users, and a failure to reduce development costs. To manage these risks, organizations can create standardized documentation, deliver clear goals to the outsourced workers, establish trust between organizations, and use a subsidiary to manage the company.
