Outstaffing provides multiple benefits for clients searching for software development. These are the cost reduction and a larger pool of technical talents to choose from to name a few. Because of these advantages, many companies, both small startups and big enterprises opt for the outsourcing model.
However, as the demand is so high, IT outstaffing and outsourcing companies emerge every month and you might find it difficult to choose a reliable partner that will help you with your project. To help you make the right choice, we’ve made a list of features a trustworthy third-party ally should have to help you reach your business goals.
-
Experience and portfolio of completed projects
Opt for companies that have at least five to ten years of experience and can prove them by successful projects. Check these projects out to make sure that the company of your choice has expertise in the field you need. Stay away from companies with no portfolio: they might have lower rates but your risks with them are way too high.
-
Pool of developers
Pay attention to companies that have 50 to 250 developers on their staff. A smaller team might be insufficient to cope with your web or mobile application and larger outstaffing companies, as a rule, have higher rates.
-
Stack of technologies
Find out if your future outstaffing partner works with technologies you’re about to apply for your project. It will be odd coding video-games on Python when you have C# as well as developing simple websites on C++ when you have JavaScript. Don’t let sales managers convince you to use a technology stack that doesn’t fit your project. Remember that the application you want to order should be further maintained, and it’s better to have your project developed with the technology that suits it the best.
-
Affordable prices
The price of your project will depend on the hourly rate of developers who will work on it. These rates vary from country to country. Today, the Eastern European countries are in trend, as they provide highly-qualified technical specialists with relevant education and good English command. Ukraine, Poland, and Belarus are among the top countries for IT outsourcing. If you’re a US-based startup, you can decrease your labor costs by up to 60% by hiring technical specialists from these countries.
-
Commitment and dedication
Choose partners that suggest several cooperation models. That is great if you can hire a fully-packed dedicated team that will work exclusively on your project. However, you might also benefit from staff augmentation with fewer unique specialists. Make sure that the company of your choice can meet your needs and is truly committed to helping your business.
