- Does the prospective offshore partner have the domain and technology expertise?
- Will I have to compromise on quality and time-to-market objectives?
- Will I have adequate control over the product development engagement?
- What would be my investment risk?
- How will my Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) be safeguarded?
