Businesses today consistently look to upgrade their tech presence to remain in the market where virtually everything has an option online/through an app. With the advent of pandemic, it is the new normal where virtual meetings, mobile apps for almost all daily essentials are gaining popularity over the conventional vis-à-vis meetings and the habit of going out to shop. Consumers find convenience of purchase/return, better rates and most importantly, home delivery for utilities they need. The traditional brick-and-mortar businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to cope up with the service levels offered through the online channel.
However, all is not rosy for online businesses too. Building a functional app that actually offers ease, getting the user experience (UX) right, marketing the product built, staffing across various skills required, maintenance and support, continuous improvement are some functions of the tech game that have all to be in place to have a product that promises future in the market. And there is competition. It becomes imperative for businesses to have dedicated teams that watch, absorb and develop the super fast changing trends of business. Businesses today often prefer to work with IT outsourcing companies rather than having in-house teams for non-core functions. These companies offer them services like process outsourcing, web development, hiring and augmentation, data analysis, cyber security etc. to name a few.
Ever wondered what all it took for the big business houses to land a product that has been immensely successful with the target audience? Not easy as it appears. Having a bankable IT partner for your upcoming/existing digital product is an outcome of detailed research about the amalgamation of the exact requirements of the product and the skill n expertise the service provider has.
Some check points that help short listing an IT development partner:
- Review their website: This would often give you enough insight into their capabilities, product/service portfolio and approx costs. It would also help you understand their key areas of expertise, list of key clients and their testimony on the work delivered.
- Size of the company: One needs to verify that the agency has enough resources to substantiate the project in the long run. Often we come across companies that do have skill but not strength. As such, it becomes additional workload for the already occupied resources they have.
- Client References: Verifying the expertise of the vendor through previous clients they have done similar work for, not only adds to the confidence but also gives an idea of the work style, user interface and key technical details delivered.
- Sample development plan: this gives the client an insight into what to expect. The long term strategy, plan of development, resources required, delivery timeline can all we vetted for through this teaser.
