What is an ODC?
An Offshore Dedicated Development Center (ODC) is an extension of your local tech team, based in another country (usually India). It is heavily utilized by USA Tech Companies.
Benefits of an ODC
Unlike project outsourcing, an ODC gives you total control over the hiring process, culture, and technical stack, while the vendor handles HR, payroll, and office infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
ODCs typically start with a minimum of 5 resources (e.g., 3 Devs, 1 QA, 1 Tech Lead) and can scale to hundreds.
