In many cases custom development has become a necessity for education providers and companies, in general.
It caters to unique and specific needs of an institution that otherwise cannot be taken into account with the off-the-shelf software solutions.
If done towards specific requirements of a customer, custom development can save hours of time on the employees and management side, improve current processes, streamline the workflow and even achieve goals of increasing the bottom line and customer satisfaction by way of automating the fee collection process, communication with customers and more.
With that said, finding the right software developer can come with some challenges and considerations when finding the right service provider and embarking on this journey.
More and more companies go for custom development to streamline their business
processes.
1. Global reputation
When a company has a global reputation, it can give a peace of mind to the customer for several reasons.
First of all, it means that the software developer will strive to do a good job as there is more accountability with global companies.
Secondly, they can draw on the global expertise of similar projects.
Thirdly, being part of the global network of companies, a provider can usually access and collaborate with partners in other countries, leveraging off their expertise and knowledge.
This can significantly contribute to the success of the custom development not just in this specific instance but ongoing.
2. Resources of the software development company
2.1 People
Are the developers of the right expertise caliber? Are they experienced with custom development? How many years of development experience do they have under their belt?
2.2 Technological
What does a software development company use when developing? Is the development done just with the inhouse coding efforts or is there a global development platform that takes any development to a whole new level?
2.3 Investment capital
Development is costly and requires a lot of resources. It is good to check if there is an investment capital behind the company you use to do custom development for you.
3. Turnaround time
Is the company going to deliver towards your timeframe and your requirements? This is critical and needs to be communicated in advance to make sure that the development is done on time.
4. Track record of previous custom development projects
How many custom development projects has the company done so far? Were they specific to your industry? Do they deliver what was specified in the requirements?
