Since infrastructure is replicated at 3 locations, it is very easy to deploy disaster recovery and business continuity procedures and reduce downtime drastically.

Isolation of the development and test environments and helps in independent and rigorous testing of the product being developed.

Communications

Since resources are geographically distributed, international exposure is available to all team members thus leading to better understanding of different cultures.

Helps in making mobility of resources from one project to another seamless and smooth.

Time Zone differences helps in expediting time to market as project work continues for entire 24 hours in comparison to a single location 8 hour time window and the various communication channels are used effectively to handle the challenges associated with this.

Quality

Proven processes help in predicting the product quality through various metrics used for measuring the performance.

Due to the fact that resources are distributed globally, a renewed focus is placed on processes and systems to make it process dependent rather than people dependent.

Testing by a third party removes any bias which would normally creep in when the developers themselves are involved in testing the product.

Better accountability & transparency with the usage of digital dashboards

Better productivity and estimates with the help of process capability baseline using process database and other tools.
