SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT OUTSOURCING CAN HELP STARTUPS GROW

Today, Slack is valued at more than $20 billion. But back in 2013, is was a
small startup — and turned to software and QA outsourcing to get its operations
off the ground. And it’s not the only household name that used development and
software testing outsourcing to grow its business. Skype, GitHub, Basecamp, and
even Google all outsourced software development in the early and sometimes later
stages.

All businesses must work quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively to satisfy
consumer demands, but this is especially true in the startup phase. With an
ever-changing market, startups need to hit the ground running right out of the
gate, and outsourcing can alleviate much of the burden associated with the early
phases of building a business.

Here are six important benefits of software development outsourcing startups can
appreciate.



6 BENEFITS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT OUTSOURCING FOR STARTUPS

1. COST-EFFECTIVENESS

One of the primary reasons why startups frequently use software and QA
outsourcing is because it tends to be cheaper than employing in-house developers
and testers. Creating a business is expensive, so it’s helpful to find ways of
alleviating some of the financial burdens. This way, they can save onboarding
and overhead costs. Meanwhile, the development or software QA company will be
responsible for hiring and training employees, as well as supplying them with
the necessary tools and equipment, so you know you’re not sacrificing talent.



Talent also tends to be cheaper overseas than in countries like the United
States. Offshore QA testing and development often offer quality that’s on-par
with or even better than onshore services at a fraction of the cost.

2. ABILITY TO FOCUS ON CORE BUSINESS FUNCTIONS

Starting a business is a lot of work, and since many startups have small teams
when they’re getting off the ground, the tasks often require time and manpower
that you just might not have at your disposal. Development and QA outsourcing
allows you to focus on important tasks like marketing, securing investors, and
other core business functions without spreading yourself too thin.

3. ACCESS TO A GLOBAL POOL OF TALENT

If you turn to offshore software testing and development, you’re not limited by
workers within your home country — you can explore options worldwide. There are
skilled developers and testers in many different countries. It’s easy to
communicate and work with people in, for example, Argentina and India through
digital channels such as video chatting and Slack, without ever having to meet
face to face.

Often, outsourcing partners have plenty of expertise and experience, and you can
leverage this knowledge as you grow your startup.

4. EFFICIENCY

Having a productive team that works quickly is crucial to helping your startup
grow. A dedicated development and/or software QA company will work quickly to
create and test your products since they’re focusing on one critical aspect of
your business’s success. Presumably, they have the knowledge and experience to
complete tasks quickly, without sacrificing attention to detail. Meanwhile, your
in-house team members can focus on other aspects of building the organization.

You’ll also save time training and onboarding new employees because you’ve
outsourced your labor. Ultimately, this increased efficiency means your time to
market is significantly reduced, giving you a competitive advantage.

5. RISK AVERSION

When you’re launching a new startup, you need experienced professionals you can
trust to deliver exemplary results. When you outsource software development and
testing, you’ll have access to the reviews, portfolios, and other important
information about potential partners. Given that these companies tend to have
plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to software, you know you can
trust them to deliver results, thus avoiding risks associated with hiring
full-time, in-house employees.

Moreover, if worse comes to worst, you can easily dissolve the partnership —
which is more difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to do with full-time
employees.

6. LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS

Many startups that use software and QA outsourcing partners in the early phases,
end up continuing the partnership longer-term. If you do find a partner who
delivers quality results promptly, it can be beneficial to your company to
continue the relationship. That way, you’ll be able to reap the rewards as you
continue to grow your business, and your partner will be able to help facilitate
faster expansion.

Given that you’ll grow to know and trust your software and QA services, projects
will ultimately take less time to complete, because your partner will understand
your needs and expectations.

Development and QA outsourcing is one of the most productive and cost-effective
ways to build and grow your startup. If you find a partner you can count on to
deliver the results you need, you’ll achieve lasting benefits.

As you search for offshore software testing and development partners, make sure
to research prospects thoroughly, asking for examples of similar work, speaking
with previous and current clients, and investigating online. You should also
clearly establish the terms of the contract and negotiate a fair price. Your
partner will play a crucial role in growing your startup, so it’s important that
you find an organization that understands your needs and that you both
understand the terms of the arrangement.
