1Onshore vs. Offshore Salesforce Development
How to Hire Developers
Any kind of service from experts tends to have
layered challenges, but more often than not, the
benefits definitely outweigh those. Such is the
matter with Salesforce development. Salesforce is
a sufficiently complex system to configure and
work with. The result of using Salesforce is, of
course, phenomenal. Salesforce is, as usual, the
1 CRM used across the world. So as a business,
if you are willing to take on the challenge of
migrating your systems and workflows to
Salesforce tools, you know the reward will be
worth it. Now, of course, there is no one way to
go about this. There are several Salesforce
experts that can help you with your project. But
the true question is about compatibility. Who is
the perfect developer or team for your project?

2- Here are a few questions you can ask yourself
before setting about to look for a team - Do you want to migrate all your business
processes to Salesforce at the same time? - What is the requirement of your department that
this migration will most impact? - How much money are you willing to invest for this
at a go? - Do you have an expert or team in-house that will
be able to take up the migration? - Do you have the bandwidth to onboard and train
team members for this project? - Do you work well with external teams?
- Once you have some answers to these questions,
you will be able to proceed easily. - Ideally, whenever you are uprooting your current
systems to a new one, you should first do a
recon of your organization. Which teams need it
the most? Then compartmentalize which
departments get the first updates. After all, it
is a new process and tool, and you need to check
the organizational adoption rate and behavior to
judge if they are ready for it. - Next, you need to figure out how much you are
willing to invest in the project. For such a
complex tool, of course, development comes at a
high cost. But this question is better answered
in combination with the ones after it. - There are multiple types of Salesforce
development services available. You can opt for a
completely in-house development, an external
development team, or opt for a hybrid
development approach where the external team does
the implementation, but the training and
post-development support is taken up by the
in-house team. - Lets see the major differences between onshore
vs. offshore Salesforce development. - Inhouse vs. External Salesforce Development
Inhouse Salesforce Development

3- In-house team is already a part of your current
process, so they are also comfortable - with the entire organization, so compatibility
will not be an issue. - An in-house Salesforce development team will cost
significantly lesser. - You will not have to onboard a whole new team,
saving countless hours and effort on your part.
Not to mention there will be no need for more
real estate for additional team members, no need
for more equipment, and so on. - Compared to this, heres how it can go with an
external team - No need to manage external team members, so you
are free to focus on your regular tasks while
the Salesforce developers take care of the
development. - Since external Salesforce developers have worked
with multiple organizations, they have more
experience for what an organization in your
industry may need, therefore providing a much
more assured path for growth. They will not only
solve current challenges but also work on
future-proofing solutions for you. - Apart from that, because they have worked with so
many different organizations of varying sizes
before, they are also good at collaborating with
your in-house teams to get the project sorted. - You will not have to traditionally onboard them,
as they will have their own protocols and
methodologies to follow for development and team
management. They will also have their own
equipment and workflows. - All you have to do is ensure you communicate
consistently with them, so there are no gaps and
surprises once the deliverables are done. - We have some experience in being a great external
team. We can truly be your technology partner
for Salesforce development! Lets talk more about
it. - But even with external teams, there are two
options - Onshore vs. Offshore Salesforce Development

4- Onshore Salesforce Development
- They are still an external member, but you can
onboard this team in your office, so there is
that much close association with them. - Your investment will have to include all the
onboarding processes you do with your employees
since they will be working out of your campus. - If they are from another country, you will have
to take up all the required legal
responsibilities to hire them, including but not
limited to a work visa. You might have to
provide accommodation - Offshore Salesforce Development
- Offshore Salesforce development team is perhaps
one of the most flexible teams to work with. Of
course, since they have plenty of experience,
there is no challenge in terms of work
requirements. - Your investment is significantly lesser since you
dont have to onboard them in the office or,
really, even in the same country. - They are self-managed, so you dont have to use
effort to manage them. All you have to do is
ensure that your teams work well with them, and
thats all. They can take over the
responsibility of the technology needs, and you
can focus on your core business and operations. - They are timezone aligned with you, so you dont
have to worry about having to wait to
communicate with them every day. - And lastly, the third approach would be to opt
for a hybrid development process so that an
external team does your Salesforce implementation
or development and the staff training and
post-development support are taken care of
in-house. - Since Salesforce evolves constantly and is quite
layered, this eliminates the support and
training costs that you would have to pay the
external team.
