Hugo Messer is a seed investor at Ekipa Agile Consultancy focused on Apps and Software. As the Founder of Bridge Global, he has been building and managing teams around the world for many years.Many people wonder if hiring IT programmers or designers offshore is a good idea and whether it is suitable for their company. Frequently asked Questions arise: ✔Do the advantages outweigh the costs? ✔How do I develop my processes? ✔How doI develop a clear strategy? ✔Is Eastern Europe a better choice than India or not? ✔Can we outsource as a smaller company? ✔How do I manage people from a distance? I am convinced that international IT outsourcing offers many organizations a comfortable and profitable prospect. Not just financially but also personally.
