What Is an Offshore Development Center (ODC)?
An Offshore Development Center (ODC) is a dedicated engineering team based in a lower-cost country, working full-time and exclusively for one company under its processes, tools, and quality standards.

Companies typically consider an ODC when they need to scale engineering capacity by five or more roles for 12 months or longer.
