Traditionally, the greatest concerns about using offshore development have centered on language and cultural barriers. These, in turn, usually lead to worries about product quality and control. We have learnt over the years that there are, however, some common sense steps that you can take to alleviate these concerns and ensure the successful, efficient, and cost-effective use of offshore development resources.
Hence without compromising on quality and without the long term commitment of retaining staff one can achieve all one wants. This would mean that one can be as lean and flexible so that in today's scenario when the market conditions change so fast the companies can adapt themselves.

A study by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) has revealed huge growth potential for animation and gaming industry in India, with revenues expected to reach $1.25 billion by the year 2009.
The report, unveiled at the two-day Animation India 2006 conference organized by Nasscom in Hyderabad, forecast that the Indian animation industry would reach a turnover of $950 million whereas the Indian gaming industry would notch up turnover of $300 million by 2009.
Speaking at the conference, Nasscom president Kiran Karnik said: "India's expertise and creative skills, combined with the entrepreneurial drive of its companies, make it well positioned to tap the potential of this growing global industry."
Nasscom study pointed out that India is fast going up the animation-outsourcing ladder. Though a recent entrant in the global animation scene, demand for India's production services is growing at a fast pace. With global entertainment majors such as Walt Disney, IMAX, Warner Brothers and Sony signing up huge contracts with Indian animation companies, local animation design studios are gradually establishing their credentials overseas and building their skill sets in this high potential global market.
The report noted: 'India ranks high on its skill pool and familiarity with English language makes it a perfect animation outsourcing destination.'
"Going forward, India is expected to position itself as number in the animation market riding high on its talent potentially and quality work it offers the global market," the report explained.
The Nasscom study estimated that the global market size of the animation and gaming industry would witness an annual growth rate of 8 per cent and reach $75 billon by 2009.
Based on this, the global animation market (from the developers' perspective) is expected to increase to $35 billion by 2009 from $25 billion 2005.
The size of the Indian animation market was estimated at $285 million (from the developers' perspective). It is expected to witness a CAGR of 35 percent from 2005-09 and increase to $950 million by 2009. Similarly, the market for gaming industry is expected to witness a CAGR of 78 per cent and reach $300 million by 2009 from $30 million in 2005.
