It\u2019s all about skills, right?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are looking to outsource some of your software development, you want to make sure the outsourced partner is skilled in various programming languages and can adjust with your business model. Maybe you will need to do more with Internet of Things for the next six months, but then after that, you might have road map needs about augmented reality. So you want to make sure that any partner has the right skills. They need to have the competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most important thing to look for, yes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, not really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about another type of skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this case, we mean social skills, which are sometimes called \u201csoft skills.\u201d What if you find a partner for outsourced software development, but the members of the team have no social skills? They are hard to communicate with. Projects are falling behind. They have technical skills. They know the programming languages. They can do the work. But the work isn\u2019t going well because there is not any strong communication. The culture side is not aligned. The company and the partner are talking past <\/em>each other, instead of to <\/em>each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think a relationship like this would work well for long? It will not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It starts by thinking about what outsourcing of software development really is<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some people still think this is primarily a cost decision. Cost is important, but not the No. 1 most important thing to look at. But, when you think it\u2019s a cost decision, you are looking for the most <\/em>programming skills at the least <\/em>cost. You are not considering anything else, usually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a mistake. First, you need to view software development outsourcing as a long-term, strategic decision. You, as the company, will bring on a partner to help you develop software and applications. You should think of that partnership as lasting years and benefiting both sides. Cost is a part <\/em>of that equation, but it\u2019s not the biggest part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want the best, right?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course. This is your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, to get the best, you need to have the \u201cbest\u201d in two areas:<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Actual programming skills<\/li>
  2. Social skills and similar cultures between the partner and the company<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

    We call the second part the \u201cTeam Extension Model.\u201d<\/a><\/strong> (If you prefer to watch videos, you can learn more about it here<\/a>.) The Team Extension Model is our primary differentiator over other software development outsourcing options. We will take our team and mold it into your team, using a three-step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
