How to choose the right company for outsourcing developers?

Greg Polec

CEO

The growing importance of outsourcing software development is one of the most anticipated trends in 2019. More and more companies are looking for effective developers, who could support the development of their projects. Choosing the right partner is a very important, but difficult decision at the same time. So, what is the best way to choose an effective company for outsourcing developers?

Challenges associated with software development affect more and more companies. Technological progress means that in many cases software is a prerequisite for the further development of a company. Recently, we have noticed a formidable increase in interest in IT outsourcing. It is a convenient, cost-effective and time-efficient way to develop products. To make a good decision about choosing a company that will be a reliable and effective partner, you should bear in mind for the most important steps.

Define your goals related to project development

In the beginning, you should define what your needs are. When dealing with outsourcing this is the basic question that will help you in the further stage of searching for the right companies. Specify the features and objectives of the project. Of course, you can use consulting services and then refine the nature of your project. However, if you have a clearly defined goal, specify it in such a way that you can explain it to potential partners. In this way, you will facilitate the further process.

IT outsourcing must be well-planned

Do research. Search for a potential partner and verify them

There are many companies on the market that deal with IT outsourcing. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct research, thanks to which you will select the best offers. The question is how to do it?

First of all, check the company's credibility and customers’ reviews. If it turns out that the company carried out in the past similar projects to your own, you will be sure that you've come across an experienced and proven partner. You can also ask for a case study that will show you some examples of cooperation effects.

Verify the details of cooperation

In projects related to software development, it is important to establish the details of everyday cooperation. First of all, it is about communication aspects or the way of project management that should not be underestimated. If your partner's working methods are understandable to you,  you will avoid problems during the project itself. First of all, it will be important to exchange information, feedback and control the course of work. How to find effective developers?

In turn, the project management method will have an impact on the model of the functionalities of your product. In IT projects, you will most often encounter the SCRUM methodology. You can read more about its characteristics here.

Check costs

When establishing cooperation with an external company, of course, you shouldn’t forget about costs. It is important that the price ratio is adequate to the quality of the work performed. Remember also that a high price does not mean that the company provides services at the highest level. On the other hand, if you choose a relatively cheap partner, you may find that you will not be satisfied with the results of your work. You need to ensure cost flexibility in relation to quality and workload. It is a good idea to collect several offers and compare them - both price and quality.
