Sister Partnership With Railsware
OpenRain is a U.S. company with U.S. staff. The value of direct, barrier-free, native-language communication outweighs any perceived cost savings of outsourcing our niche, not to mention it’s a lot more fun to work in the same office and time zone. For a typical 3-month project with 2 developers, it’s not uncommon in an outsourced environment to need a full-time project manager on both client and developer sides just to manage tasks, meetings, legal, logistical issues etc.; an unnecessary cost which alone has increased the bill 50%. By keeping operations local, we’re able to remain far more agile in a far lighter development environment.
Nevertheless, we periodically talk to a potential client who is dead set on outsourcing work to “save money”. While we’ll respectfully disagree with you, we’ll kindly connect your business to a new sister shop located in the Ukraine who exclusively focuses on outsourcing, something which OpenRain doesn’t do. Both OpenRain and Railsware focus on Ruby development for U.S. companies, and are pleased to announce this partnership so we may jointly work towards building a bigger, better Ruby development industry as a whole. We’d love to have you in it!
