Benefits of Outsourcing Software Development

Outsourcing, meaning the use of an external resource, is the transfer of certain types or functions of industrial entrepreneurial activities by one company to another company operating in the required area, which is cemented on an agreement.

IT outsourcing allows you to increase the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole and use freed-up organizational, financial, and human resources’ infrastructures to develop new directions. Outsourcing allows customers to concentrate on strategic efforts that do not require increased attention.

Many modern companies use outsourcing services, which speaks of its popularity and profitability for the end consumer. Outsourcing can be considered as a service organized by a specific company, where several services are provided in an integrated manner to fully cover the needs of the client. In practice, the focus is usually on one of the specific services, for instance, software development.

1. Cost-Savings

Companies that perform every aspect of their business internally inevitably pass these costs onto their customers. By partnering with an IT outsourcing company, companies can save on some of these costs to gain a competitive advantage over their competitors in terms of pricing. Instead of hiring staff to service the IT department, it is more profitable to entrust this task to a specialized IT outsourcer. Shifting responsibilities to outsourcing companies, so they perform key IT functions, brings about the following key benefits:

• high-quality results: only qualified specialists work in such organizations;
• reduced office, hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure costs overheads.

In addition, the customer pays exclusively for the work performed and the result. But the advantages of IT outsourcing are revealed if you turn to a responsible outsourcer.

ByteCipher provides one of the best value for money returns in the industry. The solution portfolio is cost-effective and offers access to a pool of talented professionals across globally strategic facilities across the globe.

2. Resource Maximization

Even if you have a team of talented developers, this does not mean that you should delegate them to work on every issue. First, you must evaluate the time and effort involved in tasks to critically assess what’s at stake. More often than not, it’s not efficient or cost-effective to allocate your top talent to IT support. Developers in your company may be busy doing what directly contributes to achieving your business goals. Outsourcing works as a means to achieve resource optimization because it ensures that talented employees can focus on the most important tasks. Reliable and experienced outsourcing companies offer flexible options and dedicated teams that can get started right away. You don’t have to waste time training new employees. Developers who become part of your project will be effective from day one, regardless of how big your internal team is. Work is still prone to disruption due to illness, vacation, or unforeseen circumstances, and outsourcing guarantees a smooth operation and completion of your IT project.

ByteCipher makes it possible to maximize the necessary resources, which is especially useful for customers who need unique developers in various fields: full-stack, mobile application development, DevOps, test automation, data science, and so on.

3. Quick Time to Market

Customers can access necessary development resources very quickly, allowing them to provide quick time to market for products. Our developers, project managers, testers, DevOps, and more, directly begin project development with a demonstration of the system analysis of the problem and drawing up a project plan. This significantly reduces the Time to the Market parameter and meets the required framework for providing the project to real users. In this case, the customer may first require a proof-of-concept, or an MVP project, or a production-ready solution.

4. Using Latest Technologies

The customer needs to use the most modern technology stack in modern IT projects. This is because it is necessary to find specialists with extensive experience in this particular direction. Every year, the technology stack changes dramatically, and unfortunately, developers in many customers’ companies cannot master all IT areas whether it is a cross-platform app development or anything else.

Therefore, to use the latest technology stacks, it is necessary to apply for outsourcing. ByteCipher pays the right attention to current new technology stacks and has senior developers in many areas. Our company will be able to provide projects and solutions for customers in the required volume based on the latest technical solutions and methodologies.

5. Sourcing Top Talents

Few small companies have all the necessary resources to implement all the systems and services they need. And typically, the necessary software licenses and subscriptions are very expensive. Plus, equipment maintenance is quite expensive because only large enterprises can afford it.

Outsourcing IT activities gives small companies the same playing field as large ones. Oftentimes, customers need to solve a local specific problem that requires highly qualified performers. With such business needs for a short period, it makes no sense to seek, recruit and hire highly qualified talent. This process either costs a very large sum of money or is delayed for an unacceptable time. In this case, ByteCipher allows you to quickly and efficiently get access to highly qualified talents upon request. At the same time, the IT tasks for clients will be solved as quickly as possible and at the required high level of performance.

6. Advanced Scalability

Companies that are growing rapidly need to be prepared to meet new requirements. At this stage of development, many companies need to scale their IT support. Finding resources for this task within the team is often expensive and impractical. These development teams are usually fixed in size and scope. Expanding an internal team to meet changing business needs can be costly and time-consuming. By partnering with an external vendor, you can avoid this and use a scalable solution that can be easily expanded to meet your needs. ByteCipher has sufficient resources to scale almost any project for customers. In addition, we have a strong database of potential senior candidates, and we can flexibly increase a project’s resources in a short time.

7. Better Product Quality

A very important criterion for the operation of modern software products is quality. Since many information systems now work with millions of users, even a minor malfunction of the software can lead to serious problems.

ByteCipher provides the required level of software outsourcing quality. We provide our customers with a full cycle of software development, including manual and automated testing. Our experienced architects and developers use Test Driven Development methodologies to ensure the required quality of software solutions.

8. Advantage from Time Zone Differences

We provide our customers with the flexibility to build the correct overlap system in time with our outsourcing teams. This applies to both Scrum Agile syncs and developers’ working hours. We cover almost all the necessary time zones for our clients.

9. Providing all necessary IP rights

ByteCipher provides all the necessary data for the full transfer of rights to the developed code and information systems to our customers. This advantageously separates our company from other software developers. All of our clients are very satisfied with this key aspect of our offerings.

10. Concentration on Core Business

Companies can focus on their core goals by teaming up with a provider. It is easy to get distracted by dividing your energies between different activities that are relevant to the company’s operations but outside the core business goals. Outsourcing is the answer to this problem and helps business leaders focus on their areas of expertise.
