Best Practices BYO Offshore Development

To prepare an offshore development operation, corporate IT must first provision the development environment and applications. Gaining access to relevant information and existing code most likely means granting VPN access to standard building and development tools. Included in the challenges of offshore development is controlling how source code is seen and used as well as where it sits. For example, there’s a lack of control over whether the newly-developed code sits on a dedicated box. Although contractual obligations may include these requirements and the permissions to audit, the remote nature of offshore development makes audits difficult-to-impossible to enforce…until now.

Lack of oversight and control are two of the leading concerns about BYO offshore development programs. Moka5 continues to compile the best thinking around BYO offshore programs. Below is a collection of information to help you with your program.
