Why you should outsource your software development
The software development industry continues to have more demand than there is supply.
Nearly every business out there is needing to incorporate some form of software into their model to improve efficiency, their offering or their product.
At some point you'll have to choose: Do we build an internal team or do we outsource to another company?
Let's look into some reasons why so many companies look to outsource their development work.
Outsourcing is generally cheaper overall
The cost per month of, let's say, a junior developer from an outsourcing agency will be more than the salary you'd pay that junior each month if you hired them. We won't deny that.
However, there are far more things to think about. Such as:
- Did you go through a recruitment process and how much did that cost?
- How much did the equipment and hardware for the developer cost?
- How much are the licenses that you're needing to pay for?
- What about the benefits that they're getting?
Suddenly the premium that you pay for an outsourced developer is far less than what you've actually spent to hire, incentivize and maintain that developer.
Outsourcing can help a business of any size, from small startups to large enterprises.
If you're needing a single React developer or needing an entire team of fintech experts, outsourcing is a great solution for you.
Outsourcing your development work to a quality agency or consultancy has proven to be more cost effective at every level of your business size i.e. from single person start-up to 2000+ employee corporate.
The tough part is finding the right partner for you.
We specialize in working with start-ups and building B2C applications and platforms. That's our niche.
Then you'll find larger consultancies who have dozens of developers that they can throw your way. It all depends on what you're needing but regardless, outsourcing is the better option.
Outsourcing allows you to focus on what you do best.
Growing your own high performing development team is a ridiculously time consuming feat. We know because we've done it.
Outsourcing allows you to explain what needs doing, lets your partner go out and build it which leaves you to focus on the rest of the business.
A good outsourcing partner alleviates stress and tasks while providing an immense amount of value to your business.
Outsourcing produces more potential knowledge
Let's explain what we mean here.
If you bring a developer on board, they'll primarily only have access to your team and it's developers for further knowledge gaining.
If you bring on a developer from a consultancy and agency, they'll have access to your team, it's developers and the entire company that they represent.
This creates a much larger immediate circle of knowledge wealth which leads to faster development and better code quality.
These are just some of the main pain-points that we see in the industry and reasons why outsourcing to a company like us can save you time, money and a lot of frustrations.
