    Outsourcers, something to be affraid of?

    I am seeing a lot of OS companies lately running around, spamming their shit and stuff, but has anybody any real good experiences with any of them? As I had my 3rd client in the last 2 weeks who came to me after an OS company fucked up.

    I am still having enough work to make a decent living though, just something I was wondering ;)

    Should we designers be affraid with the increase of outsourcing companies lately? Should I go to india and get my own little $5/hour guy? Or is it just something wich will go by and is it just a matter of time?

    Discuss.

    I had a great experience with xxxoutsourcing.com and so did a friend of mine. I've also been told by many people that outsourced programmers rock.

      I have an outsourced employee in the Philipenes and he is awesome!

      Costs me about $4.50 (usd) an hour and he kicks ass.

      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

        QuaShe - while we are definitely not designers (in fact we find stick figures challenging) I can tell you from our experience that these outsourcing places are definitely not our competition.

        In fact they are quite the opposite and are probably our best referrers. Like you, we have had numerous people come to us for all types of written work after the Asian outsourcers have produced low quality work.

        It seems that paying them to do your work is a waste of money regardless of how cheap they might seem. And more and more webmasters are realising that.

        In the last couple of weeks we have been stunned by the amount of work that people have given us to do.

            It depends on the company. Webmasterlabor.com is good in my opinion. I don't recommend freelancers from Asia. I tried over 10 and it was a huge waste of time. Generally, people work better when they have actual contact with their boss.

                It depends what you want done
                Outsourcing can work, but going with the cheapest guy isn't always the answer....you also have to be very specific what you want....even when I was designing full time, I had clients who had no fucking clue what they wanted...some kid in India or the Philippines is going to have an even more difficult time...

                too often people only want the cheapest guy and forget that sometimes spending a little more money can improve things quite a bit...

                  the old adage "you get what you pay for" will always apply...

                  nothing wrong with outsourcing grunt work that nobody wants to do... like data entry, or OCR, but there is a reason professional programmers make what they do.

                  In the end it will fare as everything does, each side of the coin will have it's market share...some ppl buy generic...others refuse to accept what "might" work.

                      When it comes to design, the outsource companies I have seen are so bad it boggles my mind. I don't see them as competition at all 'cause anyone who would pay for the work they do is obviously looking for the cheapest design no matter what the result.

                      I can't speak for other things like programming or grunt work, but I think even skilled programmers would really have trouble due to the language barrier. It's hard enough to get your ideas across to someone who fully understands English.

                        I can tell you this xxxoutsourcing has people that are and have been in it along time and that is what makes them some what better then the others , you take the other guys in PI AOS well the owner isnt in the game and just set it up to make bank , he lets the clints train the new people this is a big reason why he gives the free week trail so you can give them free training for a week

                          Pro, you always did right by me and I never had a problem getting what I needed done. I was going to ask you if I could apply that balance I had to a programmer for a less than full month job but I couldn't catch you on ICQ.

                                                Should we designers be affraid with the increase of outsourcing companies lately? Should I go to india and get my own little $5/hour guy? Or is it just something wich will go by and is it just a matter of time?

                                                their portfolio says it all dude, nothing to worry about, but its their agressive way of selling...IMHO

                                                        4.50? you're overpaying
                                                        you can get 8 workers for that

                                                          We've used AOS and some work is ok while other work is quite good. I'd say overall it's worth the money. You're not going to get the most amazing work you've ever seen, but the difference in cost definitely makes it worth it for your non-critical jobs.

                                                              well I beg your pardon, you can correct me if I am wrong, but as far as "I KNOW" AOS has been there already before your xxx came up. Well i am just here to stand up for the company i am working with, and both of us are looking for some biz aite? And with regards on the free week trial, we really offer that so called "free week trial" for them to be able to evaluate the skills of their staff.

                                                                            yeah right, going on with your usual bashing with AOS. You very well know that we have far more superiority over your company when it comes to satisfied clients and number of deployed staffs alone. how many staffs do you currently have anyways? lol

                                                                            as far as outsourcing competition is concerned, we at AOS has exercise professional conduct and we do accept healthy rivalry, but if it goes beyond destroying one's reputation, i don't find this funny at all.

                                                                            with regards with the free trial thing, how much longer you will use such reasoning just to destroy us? its just a way of making our clients interact with our staffs and learn more of skills/weaknesses, to make them comfortable on how an outsourcing company (in Asia) handles such complicated design works. you very well know how that Adult Industry is afraid to jump in the outsourcing bandwagon for such fear on English literacy skills and experience/qualified individuals for the job especially with Asian people.

                                                                            if you collect upfront payment, we make sure that the client is pleased for the work of the staff and avoid having a refund if in case he decides to cancel the service in just a few days work and how can you achieve such goal? Give them a Free Week test trial. This is the main reason we give a promo service, to make the client interact actively with our staff and learn more of what they want to be achieved. we never asked any of our client to train our staff, in fact, we have our own supervisors in every shift to make sure that their staff is monitored properly. if the client themselves want to train our staff, then we don't insists on such request since every individual has its own taste when it comes to design quality and quantity, BUT this is not our SOP. as much as possible, we don't obliged nor require any of our client to train our own people.

                                                                            also, we certainly don't deploy a Neophyte. We have a rigorous process of training of our people before they can actually be entitled to a slot. I guess you can prove this with our staffs who has previously worked for you.

                                                                            if you have any issues with the owner, then go direct with him. your issues with him does not concern any of AOS clients, so stop being a cry baby.
