The demand for contract IT talent will increase as more businesses take advantage of outsourcing instead of hiring specialists in-house. Here's few of the future IT outsourcing trends that you can watch in 2019.

As the gig economy grows, more and more businesses will look to hire independent contractors for their IT and software development needs. For software developers and businesses, understanding the future trends in the IT outsourcing is important for succeeding in the industry. Here are a few of the future IT outsourcing trends to watch in 2019:

Less focus on reducing costs

Outsourcing development is and will always be about cost reduction. However, this alone will not be the deciding factor when it comes to choosing a offshore software development partner. The relationship between the outsourced software developer and the client will become more human-driven and about process, rather than being solely price-oriented.

The client will focus more on getting a quality product delivered. IT outsourcing companies will become the partners and system integrators for their clients. The risks of the project will be shared, and the outsourced talent will focus on offering value-added services to the client.

In the world of web application development, agility is a king. Businesses gain a competitive edge by having their websites and web applications developed faster with fewer expenses and resources involved. Moreover, not only do they want fast on-demand web development, the demand is also high for advanced usability and seamless user experience.

This calls for the emergence of more functional and advanced programming languages for developing website functionality, such as Golang. This article focuses on the benefits of Golang web development and compares Golang web programming to other highly popular languages, like Python.

Machine Learning Development in 2019: How to get it right?

As machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence become more pervasive, data logistics will be critical to your success.

In Machine Learning Logistics: Model Management in the Real World (O'Reilly, 2017), the authors note that 90 percent of the effort required for success in machine learning is not the algorithm, model, framework, or the learning itself. It's the data logistics. Perhaps less exciting than these other aspects of ML, it's the data logistics that drive efficiency, continuous learning, and success. Without data logistics, your ability to continue to refine and scale are severely limited.
