We would like to thank our 5000+ clients who put in their trust in us (even though 90% of them have never met us) and the team which delivered and fulfilled every promise that Indus Net Technologies made.
AA: As a start-up we had very little resource to spare. Proper Infrastructure was still not in place. In such a scenario it makes a lot of sense to outsource as much as you can.
AA: We wanted to deal with a company which had operations in the same city. We were aware that the project would be handled off location, but we would have felt more comfortable if we were able to have a few face-to-face interactions with the developers during the initial phase of the project.
Further, we wanted to make sure that we are not dealing with a bunch of guys working from their homes on their laptops. We did a basic research on the internet on software companies in Kolkata and we spoke to several of them. We visited these companies.
Finally we zeroed-in on Indus Net Technologies. Their infrastructure, professionalism and portfolio assured us that they will be able to deliver. We had a very clear idea of what we wanted and we were very fussy about getting little details right. They were very flexible and patient throughout the development process and they did deliver in time exactly like we wanted.
AA: A start-up cannot dream of having a wide talent pool in house. When your outsourcing partner is good, among other things, they bring to your table a huge amount of experience. During the initial phase of your business it makes sense to outsource as much as you can.
AA: After you have achieved a certain amount of growth and you are able to create a basic infrastructure it is always better to develop an in house capability to handle regular basic tasks. This will save you both time and cost.
But even then it is advisable to keep on outsourcing your critical software needs. In house talent will not be able to match the expertise and experience of a profession software company comprising of hundred of engineers.
AA: How well an outsourced project is executed depends a lot on the quality of coordination you have with your outsourcing partner. Therefore it depends upon both with you and your partner.
Though it is not always possible, before the start of the project, it is always advisable to meet in person the team who will be handling your project.
A lot of times bad communication is the reason why you might not be satisfied with the end results. So it is of crucial importance that you should know exactly what you want and that you should be able to communicate your requirements to your partner lucidly.
