outsourcing a mobile app development 7 things to know before you outsource

7 Things to know before you Outsource a Project

November 10, 2016 by Prakarsh -

Outsourcing is a common practice in today’s business world. This process ensures high levels of productivity at relatively lower costs. The degree of outsourcing required largely depends on the nature of the business being conducted. For instance, if you want to outsource a mobile app development, it would would be ideal for a startup business whereby the owners do not have the technical expertise required. The same applies for companies that outsource website development. However, there are 7 important things to know before you outsource a project.

 

  1. Conduct a Business Analysis

Through such an analysis and the business reports which will be generated, you can identify the strengths and the weaknesses of your current business approaches. This will give you a clear idea about which services need to be outsourced and which services are best to be retained.

 

 

 

  1. Selecting the Third Party

You might need to consider whether a company is better than a freelancer in this case. Although companies sometimes seem to be better options, they are often high priced for no good reason. If a freelancer can do the job single-handedly, it might be a better, a wiser and a less costly choice. That’s where freelancing platforms like Truelancer is really beneficial as they let you hire individual Freelancers as well as Agencies to do your outsourced website development or outsourced mobile app development job.

 

  1. Time Zone Difference
