A Recipe For Outsourcing Your Software Development

Submitted By: Steve Mezak

Outsourcing your software development can save you time and money if you know what you need. Too often US companies attempt to outsource without a good understanding of what their software should do, and this is the biggest cause of outsourcing failure. It is unreasonable to expect your outsourcing team to have a menu of software, pre-prepared, so you can just select the items you want.

Ever go to a restaurant with a picky eater? They tell the waiter in excruciating detail how they want their food prepared. And heaven forbid that the food arrives different from what was requested! Back to the kitchen it goes to be "fixed" to make the picky eater happy.

Sometimes US companies hire an outsourced partner as if they were going to a restaurant. They select the cuisine based on the flavor of the technology they require. Chinese .NET or Indian Java? How about some Russian C++? Unfortunately there is rarely a menu for the exact items you might like to order from an outsourced team.

Are you approaching outsourcing your software like you are walking into a restaurant? Are you expecting the outsourcing team to advise you, like an attentive waiter, on the way your software should look, be prepared and presented to your customers?

Instead, bring your own recipe when you start work with an outsourcing team. Unlike your dining experiences, you cannot ask for the daily special. You have to provide a specific description of what you would like to have, and how it should be prepared. Without such a recipe, your outsourced software development efforts can be starved for success.

Poorly specified software is often the result when "subject matter experts" are involved. Subject matter experts, or SMEs, know a lot about a particular subject, like IC design, business process workflow, inventory management, etc., but very little about designing software. SMEs can struggle to get their ideas encoded in the software. They need to work with someone that knows the best way to design and develop software.

Sometimes, there is a fear of getting bogged down in the details. Since some software executives are great with people, they feel much more comfortable hiring a person to handle the details. They know how to manage a person here, better than they can manage an offshore team of programmers in a remote offshore location.

One Accelerance client is in this situation. The CEO wants to outsource the development of a new software product. But there is no specification. In this case Accelerance is acting as a virtual CTO, responsible for the design, and development of the client's software.

The client is essentially saying, "Design the software for me, and I'll tell you if it matches what I am thinking." This can work because the cost of outsourcing is so low that rework and multiple design iterations are affordable.

This type of arrangement only works when paying on a Time and Materials basis. There is no way to offer fixed pricing because the end product is not defined.

Of course, not having a specification may not stop you from asking for a fixed price bid! In this case, you can outsource the creation of a specification that defines your software for a fixed price. Then the resulting complete design specification is used to create a second fixed price bid for writing your software.

Another factor comes into play when you pay a fixed price amount for a software design specification. You usually have to pay at least half up front. This is to protect the outsourcing company from delivering a specification for creating the software and then not getting paid.

Because software design often occurs at the beginning of a relationship, both parties seek to minimize their risk. You minimize your risk by selecting an outsourcing team with a proven track record and great references. The outsourcing team reduces their risk by getting partial (sometimes full) payment before starting.

There are multiple deliverables that should be produced during the design phase of creating your software, whether you do it yourself, or outsource the design:

* Marketing Requirements
* Storyboard Demo
* Functional Specification
* Multiple Release Milestone Schedule
* Detailed Task Schedule for First Release
* Detailed Design Specification (optional)

Unfortunately, software development has not progressed to the point where ready-made modules are available to order and combined to create your software. There is not yet a menu of choices available to anyone that is hungry for new software. Instead, you must provide your own recipe for what you need. The good news is low cost outsourced software design and development resources are now available to create your custom software to meet your exact specifications.

Custom Application development software for your business

By: Gary Porter

Software made specially to suit the needs of a particular company is called Custom application development software. It simplifies the process of work in an office by streamlining it. It is required by a variety of industries. Custom made software enables the company to save a lot of time and effort. Though building a custom made software is expensive but it proves cost effective in the long term. A company can save a lot of money in the long term.

If you own a company or business and believe that the existing computer applications readily available in the market do not fully satisfy your need you can opt for custom application development software. It is developed keeping the requirements of the customer and the latest technology in mind. It is developed one stage at a time and then tested. The potential dangers of custom-made software must be taken into account during development. Your specific needs can be easily met by it. Custom-made software for a personal user or company and will not be available for mass consumption. Custom made software does not aim to be marketed in the mass market.

Application software must not be confused with system software. While system software integrates the various capabilities of a computer but does not actually perform any actions. Application software refers to Word and other type of similar software. Many application software are often bundled together to perform multiple functions and are called application suites. Custom application development software performs similar application functions. It is often clubbed with other custom made application to form a custom application suite.

Although there is a large number of application software available in the market there is an ever-increasing demand for custom made software. As two companies can not be identical, their software needs are also not identical. As a result of which it is not possible for the same software to serve the purpose of both companies equally well. Every company needs a software solution that suits its need the best because that leads to a much higher productivity. It will also help you in keeping ahead of the competition.

It is not possible for companies to develop their own custom application development software for themselves because it requires a lot of research. It is very difficult to make custom software and therefore if you require custom made software you should ask software development companies for assistance.

Software development industry: the sunrise industry of the world!!

by Smit Mathur

In the process of software development, the engineering, as well as, the marketing and research part have equally important roles. It is often difficult to tell which one is more significant. The software development company generally takes the help of external agencies for the research and marketing job and they are more concerned with the process of software development.

Software development has several approaches. Each software development company has their own philosophy and own processes to develop a software. Many software development company take a much more engineering based view while developing software and the whole thing is developed as a complete whole. While some other companies take a much more practical approach, and develop the software piece by piece. But there are some common steps which most software development companies follow, while developing software. They are - gathering market requirements, analysing the specific problem to work on, designing a solution for the problem, coding the software, testing and maintenance of the software.

Software development in Australia has become on the major industries. Many software development companies have made Australia their research and development base. The reason behind the success of software development in Australia is because of the economic strength of the country and also because of the availability of skilled workers. The popularity and success of software development in Australia, has spilled on to other sectors, such as banking, tourism, hotel, etc, who require specialised software based on ERP.

The software development industry in Australia is basically export oriented and more than 50% of the software produced here is being exported all over the world, earning precious foreign exchange for the country. The best feature of this industry in Australia is the participation of schools and colleges in the process of software development. More than 80% of the colleges are involved actively in this process. Another feature of software development in Australia is their professional approach towards work. Almost every time, the deadline is being met and the products are also world class. So, when think of software, Australia is a natural choice.
