A dedicated team is made up of dedicated offshore developers who collaborate on the customer's project as a whole. Clients typically like this strategy when they envision a large-scale project that will likely take a while. The remote team uses its own gear, software, and all necessary tools while working at its office. The client pays on a monthly basis (developers' rates plus project coordinating administrative costs). Since the outsourcer does not factor hazards into the final cost calculation, this approach is highly cost-effective. In reality, it's similar to having fully equipped and trained staff on hand right away who will work continuously for a set length of time.
