5 Points To Remember When Choosing Company To Outsource

November 30, 2023

Outsourcing your project might seem like a good idea initially. You can get your product developed by others without the need to hire staff. But, it’s not as simple as it sounds. Here are important factors to think about before outsourcing your project.

Choosing the Right Company

What are the key factors in picking a web design and development company for outsourcing? Have you set any selection criteria? Ask challenging questions to understand their knowledge of your industry.

Cultural Differences

When outsourcing overseas, be aware of cultural differences. These may seem small at first but can impact your project. Ensure your business analysis is thorough. Remember, what’s standard in one country might not be in another. This can lead to extra costs and delays. Keep your business analysis in-house to leverage your team’s knowledge of your company and product.

Clear Roles and Responsibilities

It’s crucial to clearly define and document each team member’s role and responsibilities. Without this, there can be confusion. Are all team members involved in design and quality reviews? These activities are essential but can increase costs.

Compatibility in Technology

Ensure your and the outsourced team’s technology platforms, operating systems, and tools are compatible. Even small differences can cause big problems in your software’s performance and increase debugging costs.

Communication Plan

Consider the time zone differences, like the 13-hour gap between the U.S. and many Asian countries. Both companies need to be ready for meetings at unusual times. How often will you communicate and what’s the agenda? Is there a plan for videoconferencing? Make sure this plan is well-documented, with clear roles and responsibilities.
