How to choose the right offshore development company for your project?

Partnering with an offshore development company is not as easy as it looks. On one hand, there are challenges like the language barrier, time-zone differences, cultural difference, etc. But, on the other hand, there are a number of benefits like cost-efficiency, focus on the core competencies, faster time to market, extremely skilled workforce, etc.

The key to choosing the best offshore development team for your project is to understand your goals and success criteria for the project. It is crucial to first have a clear idea of your mission statement. It will help to make a project-focused and well-thought decision while identifying a partnering offshore company. One wrong decision can lead to huge losses in terms of cost, time and quality. To avoid any such bad experience in the future, the factors mentioned here can be considered.

Tips to find the best offshore app development company

Industry experience of the company

The thinking that the offshore development team’s experience is best determined based on its age is a myth. Even expert businesses that have been in the market for a significant amount of time have novice developers working for them to cut down the costs. For determining the actual experience of the offshore company, one needs to verify if the team has in-depth knowledge of the required technologies, regulations and standards practiced in the business industry.

Companies that have working experiences in similar projects that you are looking for can well understand your requirements and expectations. They can ensure that proper techniques are implemented to meet all the regulatory standards.

Technical Expertise of the offshore development team

It is quite impossible for individual coders or freelancers to possess knowledge of every coding technology. So, it is wise to hire a development company that has a team of developers capable of handling a wide range of technologies. Every offshore mobile app developer in their team should have the necessary skillsets and experience. They should be well aware with the latest framework and cutting-edge technologies. The team should have resources with specialized skills required in conceptualization, designing, documentation, etc. of the complete product lifecycle. You need to check their technological capabilities.

Adaptability and Business Understanding

Whichever offshore partner you decide to go with, ensure that it understands your business requirements completely. For your project to be successful, it is necessary that the partner company spends your money effectively without the need for any add-ons or unnecessary expenses. Also, the company should be highly flexible in terms of making changes in the project as and when required. They should be adaptable and friendly so that unnecessary delays and conflicts can be avoided. They should be flexible to work in your time-zones whenever needed.

Communication Constraints

When you have to deal with an offshore app development company, communication is a major concern. Especially when you have to deal with companies in different countries, there will be language barriers and time differences. Lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings and spoil the end products. Go with the team that provides a single point of contact to you and also ensure you get real-time support in your time. This will avoid miscommunication and issues related to delays.

Cost-effectiveness

No doubt, the cost is a crucial aspect of any business. So, while hiring the offshore company, ask them for quotations and also see if they will charge additionally for any changes. There are many service providers promising good quality products at lower costs. But do your due diligence and make sure that they provide high-ended solutions while being cost-effective.

Project Management Capabilities

Go for the offshore development company that offers project management as part of their Service Level Agreement. Such companies have the required skillsets and experience to provide top-quality and innovative solutions. They are professional, have their development process in place and ensure proper communication to their clients.

The Bottom Lines:

It is confusing and panicking at times to choose the offshore development team when there are plenty of good options available in the market. You should find the one who compliments your business requirements and provides apt solutions in your budgets. To confirm their credibility, ask for references, talk to their past clients, look at their testimonials, portfolio, case-studies, etc. and take demonstrations through presentations. Also, you have the guidelines mentioned above for the screening process. Once you have shortlisted some potential companies, review your goals and decide the perfect fit.

Is AWS Right For Your Growing Business?

Experts of Katalyst: An Interview with Praveen Minumula

Are you looking for solutions to scale your business, but not sure where to turn? Meet Katalyst Technologies’ very own Chief Technology Officer, Praveen Minumula. When he’s not managing our company’s technology strategies, he’s helping companies just like yours solve some of their trickiest business challenges. Get to know Praveen as he shares his expertise on cloud computing services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

If you are a company experiencing the nuances of growth and scalability, you may be asking yourself, “How do I scale my business without disrupting my current customer’s experience or incurring high costs?” From costs and implementation to maintenance and support – business leaders can often face a state of confusion when determining the next move to propel their business forward.

And that’s where our CTO, Praveen Minumula, and his team come in.

Praveen is well-equipped to help you maneuver through the noise with the best-in-class cloud computing platforms, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), a pioneer cloud computing platform that is solving scalability issues for businesses of all sizes. Being the tech whiz that he is, Praveen has recently partnered with AWS on behalf of Katalyst Technologies to ensure we continuously provide top-level technology solutions for our customers.

In celebration of the newly-formed partnership, we’ve decided to sit down with Praveen to discuss exactly what AWS is, what problems it solves for businesses, and what types of businesses would benefit from it. Read on to learn more from our in-house technology expert, Praveen:

Katalyst Technologies’ CTO, Praveen Minumula

Q. Why don’t you give our audience some background information about yourself?

A. I am the Chief Technology Officer at Katalyst Technologies. I have been in the IT industry for 15 years, and I started my career with Katalyst after graduating with a Masters in Electrical Engineering from Southern Illinois University in 2003. I am responsible for overseeing all technical aspects of the company. I develop IT vision, strategy, technical roadmap, and lead teams in effective execution. I am responsible for the company’s IT initiatives, infrastructure, operations, and software delivery.

I have expertise in architecting solutions for the cloud by designing and deploying secure, scalable, highly-available, and reliable applications, while optimizing for cost. I helped migrate complex internal and customer applications to cloud solutions such as AWS.

Q. Can you describe the concept behind AWS as if I knew nothing about it or the market?

A. If I were to explain cloud computing in a very simplified language, it is like subscribing to a service like electricity that is delivered to your home; you pay for what you use instead of generating your own electricity.

Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining your datacenters at a significant cost, companies can acquire computers, storage, and databases as they need them, and only pay for what they use. The prospect of being able to provide servers on demand, rather than waiting several weeks, helps companies innovate and release their products to market quicker.

Another popular example is the Pizza as a Service analogy:

In this example, the “Made at Home” column shows you all of the items you need to have to make a pizza at home. This is comparable to needing your own data center by finding a site that is accessible, has redundancy in power and telecom infrastructure, and allows you to build your network, servers, storage, and security. If you compare that to the dined-out column on the right, you can see that you don’t need to worry about making the pizza at all. You show up, order what you want, and pay for what you have consumed.

Q. What problem has AWS solved for your clients so far?

A. We have customers ranging from startups to enterprises. Cloud is one of the key enablers for business to stay competitive and allow startups to disrupt as they are redefining entire industries. For example, one of our startup customers had a couple of proof of concepts they wanted to build but were not sure which would work. Instead of investing thousands of dollars in equipment, they were able to test each proof of concept within a smaller time period for just a few hundred dollars. We were able to help them get to their answers much more quickly and at a much lower cost.

Many of our customers need help to set up their infrastructure and deploy the custom applications that we develop specifically for their business. By partnering with AWS, our customers can focus on their customers and the execution of their business strategy instead of setting up and monitoring infrastructure to support their applications. We do the heavy lifting for them with minimal disruption.

We also provide services to large enterprise customers who use AWS for their infrastructure. We help them to migrate, design, configure, manage, and monitor their infrastructure.

Q. What types of companies would you suggest AWS to and why?

A. AWS powers Startups, Enterprises, and the Public Sector. AWS has helped startups like Airbnb, Lyft, and Yelp scale without having the constraints of how quickly they can provision datacenters.

Enterprises like Netflix, Kellogg’s, Expedia, GE, Dole, McDonald’s, and Shell moved their infrastructure to the cloud so that they can focus on their core business.
Public Sectors such as PBS and the US Department of State, leverage AWS cloud for their infrastructure. https://aws.amazon.com/

Q. Why did you decide to partner with AWS?

A. Katalyst is an early adopter of cloud technologies. We migrated some of the business-critical applications from on-premise network to AWS beginning in 2012. Because AWS has been a leader in the public cloud for several years, we decided it would be a great partnership that ultimately benefits our customers in the end. We have several AWS certified engineers who architect solutions for clients, which optimizes availability and security while optimizing cost.

Being an AWS partner grants us access to an innovation sandbox and AWS resources for qualified proofs-of-concept to help the company further innovate. The partnership also provides access to training and access to solutions architects to improve our team’s skills further.

Being an AWS partner allows our team to constantly be focused on customer success and help them take full advantage of the business benefits AWS has to offer. With deep expertise, we are positioned to help customers at any stage of the cloud adaption journey and to help achieve business objectives.

Q. What is the main takeaway you would like our audience to gain from this interview?

A. There are two main points I would like our audience to take away from this. First is that cloud computing has leveled the playing field for any aspiring young company. It used to be that IT infrastructure was traditionally accessible by mostly large enterprises with deep pockets. That is no longer the case as cloud computing has opened the door for small and young companies to run like large enterprises.

Second is that cloud computing platforms can provide an opportunity for enterprises to innovate like startups. Innovation is a must for business when trying to compete in today’s world.

As you can see, with cloud computing platforms like AWS, Praveen and his team remove the burden of infrastructure operations and allows businesses to focus on what is most important: their business. Gone are the days of drowning in the complicated and expensive physical components of business as usual. With cloud computing at the forefront, Praveen has helped individuals, companies, and government entities compute and store resources in a secure, reliable and cost-effective manner.
Not only is Praveen our go-to person for any and all tech-related activities, he is also known around the office for his humility and humor. In true Praveen fashion, he leaves us with the witty quote below:
“If you have applications that are old enough to order a drink, it is time to modernize them and migrate to the cloud!”
