While it’s long been the norm for Australian manufacturers to offshore aspects of their business to save on costs, in recent years there has also been a strong trend for small and medium businesses to outsource their work and administration tasks overseas.

One industry that has experienced strong momentum towards offshoring is the app development industry. Most Australians cite its cheaper price tag as the biggest drawcard of offshoring app development. Labour is expensive in Australia compared to many other countries, particularly our Asian neighbours, so there are potentially significant savings to be made in designing and building app’s overseas.

Furthermore, offshore agencies are often renowned for producing results quickly, ensuring you stay on schedule and budget.
