Folio3

Folio3 is an offshore software services company that provides entrepreneurs & small enterprises with dedicated software application development

Folio3 is focused on helping entrepreneurs and large enterprises successfully build and manage an offshore software development presence. Folio3 evolved out of a tier-one venture-funded Silicon Valley startup that successfully moved its critical product development and marketing activities offshore.We encountered a number of challenges during the initial set-up of our offshore operations: communication issues, lack of visibility, employee quality and retention and Intellectual Property protection. We tackled each issue by establishing and refining processes that enabled us to work effectively with our offshore team. Using our offshore office, we were able to meet our aggressive development goals in a consistent, repeatable way but with a dramatically reduced cost structure.We have since incubated offshore teams for a number of our customers, who have executed on a number of successful development, testing, support and marketing projects. We have also worked with larger clients, including a number of Fortune 500 companies, to successfully implement project based work.In today's cost conscious IT environment, almost every company, large and small, is thinking of an offshore strategy. As you consider yours, consider the pitfalls and the advantages of working with a team who has been in your shoes: entrepreneurs, technologists and managers in a constant scramble to introduce innovative, high-quality products and services on a tight budget and schedule.
