Open the world of offshore web development. Beware of the scoundrels

Posted by admin on Saturday Mar 6, 2010 Under Mobile Technology

Nowadays the web development is not in the stale conditions. Tons of software development companies appear every day either solid “inland” firms or offshore companies that have a dedicated team of professionals. Eastern Europe as well as India occupy the leading positions when it comes to software development. Their main area of expertise is definitely embedded software development, mobile application developement and joomla forms extensions. Embedded software development is the area where the majoriry of web development companies compete with each other referring to prices dumping, offering complex solutions for either small firms and large corporations. As for the quality – it depends on a number of factors. Offshore development is a risky venture – no one would deny this: you do not have a total control over the process, the process that actually results in project management of your tasks. The best way out in this case will be a definite contract that will be concluded with any software development company. If ther part breaches the terms of contract, like total hours dedicated to yoru project you have all the legal rights to terminate either a part of the contract or the whole agreement. For sure, there are project managers in every web joomla development company but their work and their attention to your project is also a part to be paid considerable attention to. Just imagine the situation when your request for a quote doesn’t remain unanswered and your are offered a nice commercial proposal that lists all the terms and prices. You agree, send a definite sum of money but the workflow doesn’t satisfy your expectations. The only way for you is to find common language with the management but even this sometimes can be rather a vague venture. Offshore outsourcing is the notion that already predefines the risks. Yes, you are saving a considerable sum of money if you refer to them and ask for, let’s say joomla extensions but you should never forget that this process must be controlled as well. Unfortunatelly, your agreement is not the subject of International Law and you can’t demand damages on the international level. But I would assure you that reputation for a serious web development company is valued more than an income that they are expecting from your project. So if you want to avoid troubles and be on a safe side – refer to testimonials, contact other clients of this or that company and just ask them what kind of experience they’ve got. If people assure you that this company you can rely upon and you can entrust them any project of yours beginning from devleopment of templates for joomla and ending up with complex portal development services – rush to such a company and agree to their conditions. Sometimes the price for their services might be higher than in other software development companies but your nerves are more expensive, believe me.
