What does offshore IT consulting involve for US businesses?
Offshore IT consulting through Flat Planet involves engaging dedicated Filipino technology professionals to provide strategic IT guidance, software development, infrastructure management, cybersecurity support, and technical services for US companies. These professionals work as integrated members of your technology team, not as external contractors, providing continuity, accountability, and deep familiarity with your systems over time.
What specific IT roles can Flat Planet source for US businesses?
Flat Planet can source software developers (front-end, back-end, and full-stack), mobile application developers, cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, cybersecurity specialists, IT support and helpdesk staff, QA testers and analysts, data engineers, systems administrators, network engineers, and IT project managers. The role scope is defined based on your specific technology requirements and business objectives.
Why is the Philippines a strong source of IT talent for US companies?
The Philippines has a large pool of highly qualified IT professionals educated in internationally recognized institutions, many with extensive prior experience working with US-based clients in technology and BPO environments. Filipino IT professionals are proficient in English, familiar with American development methodologies and project management standards, and available at 60–80% of the cost of equivalent US hires.
Can Flat Planet source offshore IT professionals for both project-based and ongoing support roles?
Yes. Flat Planet can place IT professionals in project-based arrangements with defined scope and timelines, or in ongoing dedicated roles where they function as permanent members of your technology team. The engagement structure is determined based on your specific technology needs, project pipeline, and long-term IT strategy.
How does Flat Planet verify the technical skills of IT candidates before placement?
Flat Planet’s recruitment process for IT roles includes role-specific technical assessments, coding tests, systems knowledge evaluations, portfolio reviews, and structured technical interviews. Candidates are assessed against the specific technology stack, tools, and methodologies relevant to your role requirements. Only those who pass Flat Planet’s technical benchmarks are presented to US clients.
How does data security work in offshore IT arrangements?
Flat Planet implements strict data security protocols for all IT engagements, including confidentiality agreements, controlled system access, secure development environments, and user permission configurations aligned to your security policies. US clients can apply their own information security frameworks, code repository access controls, and data handling procedures as part of the engagement setup.
Can offshore IT professionals participate in Agile, Scrum, or other development methodologies?
Yes. Filipino IT professionals sourced through Flat Planet are typically experienced in Agile, Scrum, and Kanban development methodologies widely used by US technology teams. They can participate in sprint planning, daily standups, code reviews, and retrospectives, and use project management tools like Jira, Confluence, GitHub, and Azure DevOps as part of integrated US development workflows.
How does hiring offshore IT talent give US businesses a competitive advantage?
Offshore IT consulting allows US businesses to build technology capability that would be cost-prohibitive to assemble domestically. This enables mid-market companies to access enterprise-grade development and consulting resources, accelerate digital transformation initiatives, maintain robust IT infrastructure, and compete with larger, better-resourced technology-equipped competitors at a fraction of the domestic cost.
