Overview of Software Outsourcing

Software outsourcing means delegating some or all software development activities to an expert third party. Through outsourcing, your business can:

• Reduce operating and labor costs
• Leverage top-tier engineers and the latest technology
• Focus internal resources on core business activities
• Easily scale software projects as requirements change

Outsourcing is rapidly increasing across Vietnam, especially in fintech, logistics, e-commerce, healthcare, and education.

Popular Software Outsourcing Models

• Project-Based Outsourcing: Suitable for businesses seeking a turnkey solution; the vendor is responsible for the entire product.
• Staff Augmentation: Your team manages the project directly while the vendor provides skilled engineers to fill resource gaps.
• Dedicated Team: Hire an entire software team working exclusively as an extended branch of your company’s IT department.
• Component Outsourcing: Best for targeting specific functions or modules within your existing platform.

Criteria to Choose the Best Model

• Project Size & Objective: Large, long-term projects suit Dedicated Teams, while small, rapid projects are ideal for Project-Based Outsourcing.
• Control Level: Staff Augmentation grants you more process control versus fully managed projects.
• Budget: Dedicated or component-based models help you optimize expenses and avoid over-staffing.
• Security: Select a reputable partner like Nokasoft to ensure strong data protection and contract terms.

Practical Applications in Vietnamese Businesses
