Outsourcing Web

Development Company

We’ve done a research and selected the 10 key criteria we consider

important for businesses to make their choice of a web development

company that would suit their needs.

The Range of IT Services

a Company Provides

Nowadays, rendering the full scope of IT services (preliminary business studies,

quality assurance, quality code writing, etc.) is a must-have for IT companies to

produce a successful project.

1

Domain Expertise

Find out the technologies the selected vendor is proficient in, have a look at its

implemented projects, and quantify and qualify its accomplishments.

2

Software Quality and

Professional Approach

Figure out what mockup tools, delivery process/methodology, tracking systems

and quality software metrics the vendor employs to make software, and discuss

your expectations with the vendor.

3

Responsiveness

High level of responsiveness is pretty valuable in IT business. An IT professional

should be responsive and let a stakeholder know that he/she is heard without

delay and can get the required information on time.

4

Methodology and Project

Delivery Process

A reputable IT company should follow a structured and well-defined project

management methodology (such as Scrum, Kanban, etc.). It is especially critical

for outsourced projects to ensure their proper monitoring and coordination

in real time.

6

Commercial Flexibility

Mature outsourcing IT companies apply a flexible approach to project pricing

and delivery. They tend to offer fixed prices and fixed deliverables for the

documented projects. When it comes to open scope work flexible pricing is

usually offered.

7

Contracting Practices

Make sure that the vendor is competent enough to properly manage the contract.

As a rule, experienced IT companies provide overviews of implemented projects

and case studies on their sites.

8

Language and Cultural

Compatibilities

So, you want your project to be delivered as expected and within a reasonable

budget and time frame. To facilitate communication and interaction, choose an

outsourcing vendor that has similar cultural and educational backgrounds.

9

Location and Time Zone

Preferably, your vendor should be situated within a close reach to your company.

Proximity reduces travel costs and times grately. And finally, make sure your

vendor is located in the right time zone with similar working hours. That makes

communication better and allows you to settle issues without delay.
