What are the challenges of the ODT outsourcing model?
In the project based outsourcing model, the vendor takes control, at least in part, over the outsourced project and manages all of the daily affairs, while the customer is mostly interested in the final result. When using an ODT , you control the entire process, and this is when effective communication, planning and reporting (standard project management activities) become vitally important. Another challenge is the security of your data revolving around legal protections available in different countries. The best way around this problem is dealing with a U.S. based company with offshore operations. In this case, your business relationship remains governed by U.S. laws and regulations.
