You want particular software for your business. So you have been wondering which key things you need to consider when sourcing for the best software developers in Kenya. Well, the fact is, getting the perfect software development company is not an easy task. Especially when you have this excellent idea and you cannot stop dreaming of all the ways in which the concept will transform your operations.
It is important to be cautious. You do not want to invest your money in a project that will fall short of your expectations. No. You want the best software development company, one that will deliver value for your money. So, what qualities does one really look for in a software developer?
Key things to look out for as you head-hunt
Their expertise vs. your technology
What is the technology of your software? Are these developers proficient in it? Your concept is gold. It deserves to be actualized by experts. Check the developers’ area of expertise and engage the ones who are really good.
The software development company’s portfolio
What projects have they worked on previously? Most software developers disclose their portfolio on their websites. Check out their clients. You can contact them and ask about their experience with this company.
Conduct in-depth research
Software development and web design companies have the best designed and market-conscious websites you will ever come across. Of course, that is to be expected. Now, the question is, are they really good, as they purport on their site? What are reviewers saying about their products and services? Social media is a good place to start. Follow them. You will be amazed at the amount of information you can glean from such avenues.
Cost of investment
You are sourcing for the best software developers in Kenya (in this case). So, avoid shortlisting them based on their price tag. Going for the cheapest developer might disappoint you in the long-run. Determining the affordability should be based on a number of parameters. Like, how much will the entire project cost? Do they have hidden/additional costs? Like the cost of support, perhaps? Then ask yourself; are you in a position to invest that much?
Maintenance and support
What does their maintenance policy stipulate? Do they offer on-going maintenance and support? You need to tackle these issues before you engage; you will avoid headaches in future.
Development model
The best software developers adopt the agile development model. You need to be confident that the developer will give room for continued collaboration and on-going evolvement of the project requirements.
Consultation
Request a consultation before you decide on your software’s developer. During the meeting, ask everything you need to know about them. Besides, you want to entrust your concept to the best software development company your hands can find. Now here is the last one. But by no means the least. Actually, this is the deal-breaker.
Avoid Yes-Sayers
You want to work with a software developer who understands your business needs, yes. You also want a team that will pay attention to the smallest detail of your concept, yes. But you definitely do not want someone, who will promise what they cannot deliver. Good software developers know their job. They will give you a ‘NO’ where they need to. And a ‘YES’ wherever it is appropriate. Take note of that.
