The software outsourcing development market is flooded with a large number of unreliable outsourcing companies. The professional level of team members is generally low, and the service awareness is poor. Create a brand image with twisted packaging and get customers at low prices. For those who do not understand this industry, they are likely to be deceived.
For the demand side, the significance of outsourcing is to allow professionals to do professional things and reduce project costs.
But the point is to let professionals do professional things to solve project needs, instead of putting the cart before the horse and blindly pursuing cost reduction. If the entire outsourcing industry is regarded as the same risk, the demand side may choose to try and make mistakes at a low price, which will often lead to a quagmire.
It was mentioned before that the reliability of an outsourcing project depends on the joint efforts of the demand side, service side and platform side.
It is actually unreasonable to simply attribute whether the outsourcing company is reliable or not. But this time the focus is on outsourcing companies.
Facing the demand side, we will take solving problems as the basic starting point. Will understand the real core requirements of what the demand side wants to do, and provide the demand side with appropriate technical solutions based on project experience.
Able to focus on project management, cultivate service awareness, consciously accumulate and maintain team reputation.
In general, the essence of business organizations is to provide solutions. Reliable business organizations usually have two characteristics, professionalism and sincerity.
Note the following points:
1. Don’t look for subcontracting companies. There are many companies that do subcontracting under the guise of outsourcing. These companies usually only have a few salespeople who take orders and do not have development capabilities, so anything they promise to you is basically just talking about it. And this kind of subcontracting company will not allow you to communicate directly with the developers, because the developers are not from their company at all, and the quality of the products they make can be imagined.
2. Find a company where the number of technicians is much greater than the number of sales, about 10:1. Regardless of whether it is simple outsourcing or non-standard product customization outsourcing, the number of R&D personnel must be greater than the number of sales personnel, otherwise sales will be digging holes, and technology will not be filled.
3. Find a company with 15-30 employees. They will pay attention to every customer, because the company is in the development stage and does not have a good ability to negotiate.
4. Local companies are given priority. If it is not necessary, do not consider the field team, including the so-called local branch offices. In addition to facilitating communication and solving problems, it can also save costs.
5. Be sure to find someone who understands you to do it. If you can talk about it, many things will fall into place. To be able to negotiate, it must be the leader of the other party who has the ability to allocate resources, not a salesperson who is in front of the horse.
