Despite the fact that many analyst simply look at billing rates and have equated communication to CMMI type methodologies, Vision TRE believe that in today's dynamic business environment, IT service providers must facilitate intra-personal communication avenues between remote and local team members in order to promote a truly global work force.
Vision TRE clients receive cost saving benefits from improved communications, and real time collaborations between onshore and Brazil based offshore team members. "Our offshore project teams work well because onshore knowledge workers and the offshore technical experts can collaborate daily and informally in real time to find creative solutions", said Henry Johns, President of Vision TRE, Inc. The superior telecommunication infrastructure in Brazil combined with today's Internet based collaboration tools, like WebEx and Skype, bring remote workers virtually into your office. Although Vision TRE provides English speaking professionals in Brazil, effective communication requires more than just a common language, according to Mr. Johns. Brazil's similar social culture plus Vision TRE's U.S. corporate culture training helps Brazilian teams and U.S. teams bond quickly which improves performance.
Vision TRE's Brazilian developers share the same work day time zone as the Eastern U.S.A. They work when you are at work so questions and discussions to clarify issues can be accomplished in hours rather than days, just like with a local staff. "It's hard to convince budget managers that the slightly higher bill rate in Brazil is actually competitive with the $10 to $15 dollars they are spending in distant time zones. For some projects the communication delays and missed communication opportunities when using workers in distant time zones represent a very high hidden cost and can cause project failure", according to Mr. Johns.
Vision TRE introduced a Brazil offshore software development service based out of Georgia in December of 2003, one of the first sourcing companies in the U.S. to actively promote Brazil as an alternative offshore sourcing destination.
