Need Talented Software developers in USA? Outsource to Sri Lanka

It’s no secret that US companies are having a tough time finding and holding onto top-notch software developers in this fast-paced tech world. So, they’re looking for alternative solutions to bridge this talent gap. The most popular solution? Outsourcing their software development projects to Sri Lanka. 

Why Sri Lanka for software developers, you ask? 

Well, for starters, Sri Lanka’s IT industry has exploded over the past decade. They’ve got a highly skilled tech workforce, thanks to their focus on education and training. With so many talented software developers to choose from, US companies have access to a diverse pool of experts with up-to-date technical skills. Other than this focus on skills and workforce, here are some other key reasons you should outsource in Sri Lanka for your software development project.

1. Cost-Cutting Heaven

Another big plus? Outsourcing to Sri Lanka won’t break the bank. Labor costs are significantly lower than in the US or in almost any other country in the world, such that the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce, USA states that “According to the World Bank, Sri Lanka has relatively low labor costs compared to other BPO destinations”. This creates many opportunities for US companies to tap into top-tier talent without going over budget. 

2. Easy Collaboration

But it’s not just about cost and skills. Sri Lanka’s cultural compatibility with the US fosters strong working relationships and efficient project management. Plus, the high level of English proficiency of many Sri Lankan developers ensures seamless communication, eliminating any potential language barriers that might get in the way of project success. As Sri Lanka’s time zone overlaps with many countries in a very positive manner, it is easy for software developers to change their working hours slightly in accordance for US companies to collaborate in real-time with teams in Sri Lanka. 

3. Flexible Engagement and Better Focus

Outsourcing companies in Sri Lanka offer flexible engagement models that align with US companies’ specific needs, allowing businesses to work with them on a full project outsourcing basis, dedicated team or dedicated developer basis, build-operate-transfer basis, or staff augmentation basis. This allows companies to focus on their core business functions, while Sri Lankan developers handle the software development. 

4. Assured Quality with High Security

And let’s not forget about the quality of work. Sri Lankan software developers are known for their attention to detail and commitment to timely project delivery. They take pride in their work and strive to exceed client expectations. Plus, they prioritize data security and intellectual property protection, so US businesses can rest easy knowing their information is safe. 

5. Government Support and Protection

The Sri Lankan government is highly supportive of IT companies within the country as it is a major source of foreign income. As such, the Personal Data Protection Act of 2022 in Sri Lanka is formulated to be protective of client data, and states that IT companies using such data should “ensure integrity and confidentiality of personal data that is being processed, by using appropriate technical and organizational measures including encryption, pseudonymization, anonymization or access controls or such other measures”. The laws of Sri Lanka offer absolute protection for client data, especially when enforced in conjunction with one or more of the following other data and privacy laws of Sri Lanka:

• Computer Crime Act No. 24 of 2007 (‘the Computer Crime Act’);
• Electronic Transactions Act No.19 of 2006 (‘the Electronic Transactions Act’);
• Right to Information Act No. 12 of 2016 (‘the RTI Act’);
• Banking Act No. 30 of 1988;
• Telecommunications Act No. 25 of 1991; and
• Intellectual Property Act No. 36 of 2003 (‘the Intellectual Property Act’).

As such US companies are able to partner with Sri Lankan software developers in a very secure work environment. 

In summary, outsourcing software development to Sri Lanka is a smart move for US companies. With all the benefits like cost-effectiveness, highly skilled developers, seamless communication, and quality output, it’s no wonder Sri Lanka has become a popular outsourcing destination. So, if you’re a US company looking to drive innovation and growth, consider strategic outsourcing to Sri Lanka.
