More and more customers come to us wanting to outsource their software development. This is due to the current economic situation. The reasons vary. For example, the company has to cut personnel costs, or does not have enough staff to handle the project alone, or wants to focus more on its core business and customer service.
We advise SMEs on all aspects of this topic, weigh up the pros and cons together with them and thus create a sound basis for the decision.
The development of new software should in any case be cost-effective, efficient and sustainable. By sustainable we mean that the new software is based on a well-thought-out, stable and lean architecture and is future-proof because it is programmed with state-of-the-art technologies and to be extensible. And end customers or users should definitely like it. When is onshore outsourcing worthwhile?
For example, when an SME is developing a new process or device. Imagine the following example: the development department has finished the hardware and is next supposed to program the software and build the user interface, but has only a few software developers in-house and the work is progressing only slowly.
The leap from hardware to software sometimes requires more complex and larger solutions than initially assumed. At this point, it therefore makes a lot of sense to check in advance whether the company has the necessary resources in-house or should hand the work over to a competent team of software developers with hardware-related know-how. The comparison shows that permanent in-house software development is expensive and that in many cases it is more cost-effective, faster and more sustainable to outsource development.
In this example, outsourcing offers the following advantages:
First: Your own staff can concentrate on their core tasks again.
Second: The in-house programmers are involved in the development and coordinated. This reduces costs and risks.
Third: With onshore outsourcing, the service provider is based in Germany and development stays close to the business.
Fourth: The existing software is taken over or redesigned, with a focus on usability, stability, performance and maintainability.
Fifth: Quality assurance takes place at a high level.
Sixth: The pace of development can be controlled well through the variable size of the team.
Seventh: The projects become scalable.
Eighth: The company saves the effort of recruiting staff and can save further costs at the end of the project thanks to inexpensive support.
