There are multiple reasons why outsourcing is the best option for startups, and each is equally significant. For example, outsourcing eliminates the need to establish a development office. It also allows you to save money on employee recruitment and education. Furthermore, outsourcing ensures that you receive consistent pre- and post-launch support, as well as rapid prototype development for investor funding. All of these reasons are significant, but there are several other factors that are identically important to your success. Factors which are especially important for startups looking to lay a solid foundation, not only for their business, but also with a reliable outsourcing partner. These factors include:
In terms of the outsourcing process, an iterative development process typically provides the most flexibility and opportunities for idea-sharing for innovative projects with requirements that are either undefined or likely to change during development. The “remote outsourcing partner” model thrives in this environment because it allows for frequent communication, a consistent focus on best practices, short iterations, repeated reviews, and quick deliveries. Furthermore, each member of your outsourcing partner team becomes fully immersed in your project, recognizes the value of customer relations, and is as positive about your insights, ideas, and potential for success as you are.
