Geographical constraints
Spread out your team all over; it comes with a price
If it's going to be only focussed in a specific region
Hire developers from Europe with the leads in India
Support & maintainence team can be in Philipines or India
Political constraints
If it's a large organization you are to deal with ambitious people or less-motivated people
to take this up
If it's a small company nothing to worry about

make
