What Is OxP?
OxP means "Offshoring by Proxy," and it's a bold, new custom solution for people who have digital projects in either
Java or Node. It gives you a local consultant, known as the "Proxy", who has leadership and oversight over an offshore
team of developers based in Hanoi, Vietnam. What this means for your business is that you get the benefit of working
with a local consultant, fluent in the language and business protocols of your office.
At the same time, you're also getting a cost-effective, global digital solution, which relies on expertise from another
country. But you don't have to worry about coordination, language, time zone differences, or leadership, all of that is
handled by your Proxy, who works with you, either right in your office or at regularly scheduled meetings, depending
on your preferences.
Remote Work the Right Way
Offshoring by Proxy (OxP), is a unique concept that enables business to have a senior software developer onsite, while still using a team of offshore developers to make up the rest of the team.
There's a commonly held wisdom in business that outsourcing work beyond the borders of your country is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you might enjoy lower costs, but still get the
quality you want, perhaps even faster results. On the other hand, there may be communication issues dealing with labor in a country that doesn't speak your language, or time zone
differences that impact deadlines or, worst of all, notably inferior results for your lower cost.
OxP is a new mode of working that addresses all this. OxP stands for Offshoring by Proxy. It's a way to guarantee that you get all the advantages people seek in offshore work, with none of
the risks. You might think that that's a pretty bold claim, but there are ways to make this work!
The Right People in the Right Places
The key factor of OxP is that your business will deal directly, face-to-face, 100% locally, with an actual person, the "Proxy." The Proxy is a local, raised in the country, fluent in the
language, familiar with the customs, business, and protocols of working in that country. The Proxy is also, however, a developer and project lead, who acts as the point of contact between
clients and the offshore team who answers directly to—and works in constant contact with—the Proxy.
All of this means that while your office can either regularly meet with or even have the Proxy work in the office, accessible and easily within reach for questions, clarification, or
adapting to new situations, you still get to work with an offshore team. That offshore team, however, is managed by the Proxy in your office.
Safe, Secure, Local
Working through OxP means the security off having time-sheets—and even screen captures—of what the offshore team is doing, on request. But it also means having the adaptability of
working with a group of two, three, or even four experts on your Java or Node projects. The working arrangement and flexibility of an OxP team gives businesses a fast, agile, and cost-effective
development team that communicates locally, but works internationally.
If you have a digital project that needs to be done in Java or Node, but you don't have a team of your own, OxP is an ideal solution. Contact us to meet with one of our specialists,
assess what your project needs, and then meet and start working with a Proxy that can give you the local contact you need while providing you with a cost-effective, global solution.
