The whole process of APP software development includes: design requirements, design solutions, product development, product delivery, and post-maintenance.
When many companies develop online business, they will find outsourcing development companies. However, many companies have taken many detours in the process of seeking cooperation due to lack of experience.
If an enterprise wants to achieve a better standard for outsourced development projects, the enterprise should make comprehensive preparations before choosing a software development outsourcing company, so as to ensure that the entire development process proceeds more smoothly.
So, what preparations should companies do before choosing a software outsourcing development company?
1. Organize and communicate development requirements in detail:
Whether it is self-developed technology or an outsourced development company, it is very important to sort out the requirements in the early stage. Enterprises themselves must clearly know what they want, and sort out the needs they have considered in as much detail as possible. And when communicating with the development company, the more detailed the development requirements, the better, so that the quotations and development cycle estimates of the other party will be more accurate. It is best to attach the development requirements documents to the contract.
2. Clear budget planning:
It is difficult to estimate the cost of software development because there are too many variables, but a rough budget plan allows developers to implement key functions while avoiding overspending, or complete the highest priority and most important product functions within the budget. Therefore, it is necessary to find out what are the core functions of the app and what problems can be solved for users. The more detailed the functional and non-functional requirements of the product are described, the better. This can improve the efficiency of app outsourcing development and avoid losses.
3. Choose a reliable and cooperative development team:
To choose a company, you must refer to other cooperation cases of the development company. It is best to conduct on-site inspections to see the strength of the team and service attitude. When signing a contract with a development company, it is necessary to specify in the contract which stages the project is divided into and which step each stage is completed. It is necessary to determine the charging standard, delivery time and post-maintenance situation. You can also communicate with several companies, make comparisons, and choose the most suitable cooperation after understanding with multiple parties. Although the premise of cooperation is trust, the most important thing is to choose a good technical team and sign a gentleman’s agreement.
4. Server and domain name:
Many companies recommend using their servers,
Reason 1: You can charge your maintenance fee in the later stage, the server fee is a hard expense, and the fee is reasonable;
Reason 2: With his server, in case of unhappy cooperation or other disputes, you can’t get anything, you can only lose your wife and lose your army;
Of course, these are all for nip in the bud, and it will be more at ease to buy the server yourself.
5. Operation promotion:
Operational promotion should be considered during the development of operational software or APP, and the system function should also have certain marketing attributes, so that the system operation process is the process of continuous accumulation of users.
