A proper procedure needs to be established by the customer, which will help in identifying and working the software vendor. Fomax Information Technologies believes in honesty, clarity, and hard work to maintain a good relationship. Here goes a few important things to be considered in identifying partner in offshore software development.
Management Team
Before investing in a company, it is quite important to look at the team, managing the company. Evaluating management's credentials is very essential, at both technology and cultural level. Also, the teams past experience in overseas does matter a lot i.e., highly preferable.
Communication
To maintain a good relationship, communication is one among the factors to be considered in any discipline and it is the same with an offshore software development partner too. Though a vendor is strong at technical, but if it fails in understanding clients/customers requirements, it is likely to loose services/project from hands. Above all, time zones and cultural holds other challenges.
Quick decision making in Business and Technically
Evaluation of business ethics and technical skills by a customer is also important. As persistence of these skills helps an offshore partner to translate business requirements and implement successful critical factors. A mix of these two skills helps a customer in managing the project remotely.
Customer Engagement Framework
Evaluating the practices and processes used by an offshore software development company in engaging with a customer, is very critical. Unclear customer engagement processes is the first sign of risk. One may show finger at you saying you don't need such processes, if the project is small. Fomax believes in a clear customer engagement framework which can always adapt the framework as per the project requirements.
