For companies that conduct marketing and promotion on mobile phones, APP is an essential tool. However, the basic functions of APP are relatively simple and often cannot meet the needs of corporate marketing and promotion, so some companies want to carry out secondary development on it.
At present, there are two ways to develop APP, one is independent development, and the other is outsourcing development. Many companies that are planning to develop APP do not know which method to choose.
So, Enterprise APP development: Is it better to outsource or develop independently? Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Advantages and disadvantages of independent development:
Independent development means that the enterprise sets up a technical team by itself and allows its own technical team to complete the development work.
The advantages of this approach are:
1. The enterprise can clearly grasp the technical level of each technician;
2. Communication and coordination in the development process are all within the enterprise, which is convenient and fast.
Although, building your own team for APP development has many advantages. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises, this development method often has the following problems:
1. Sufficient financial support is required. After all, the recruitment of technical personnel costs money, and after the personnel arrive on the job, the company needs to pay their wages and benefits for a long time;
2. The development cycle is relatively long. After all, technical personnel need to be recruited, and after the personnel arrive on the job, it will take a period of time to adjust.
Advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing development:
Outsourcing development means outsourcing the development work to a professional APP development service provider.
The advantages of this development method are:
1. The enterprise only needs to pay the relevant fees to the development service provider, which saves a lot compared with recruiting personnel and paying wages for a long time.
2. Since the technical personnel of the development company are all existing and have gone through a long period of running-in, after the enterprise confirms cooperation with the development company and communicates with its own needs, the development company will immediately enter the development state. Come, enterprises can greatly shorten the cycle.
Although there are many advantages to outsourcing the development work to a third-party development company, the disadvantages cannot be ignored.
The disadvantages of outsourcing development are mainly two points:
1. There may be a problem of arbitrary charges
2. The quality may not be guaranteed
In fact, there is no need to worry about the above two problems, because as long as you can choose a formal and skilled team. So how to judge whether the development company is formal and has excellent technology. Enterprises can be identified from whether they have office locations and whether they have rich case selection. If a company has multi-industry cases and has developed APPs for many large enterprises and even government agencies, it can cooperate with them.
