Re: Outsourcing Software Development India - When you are trying to find specific solutions to your website development needs some of the following questions probably come to mind: How much will it cost to implement and maintain? How easily can I add and maintain content? Can I customize functions for my specific website needs? Now you start searching the internet or yellow pages to find an application or developer that can answer these questions for you. If you are searching on the internet you will most likely run across ready-to-run programs that are "easy" to install and get running. To some in the development world these programs are referred to as "canned" programs or scripts.
