Outsourcing IT services is a global trend among businesses that want to have custom-designed software. Hiring a remote team to work on your project is beneficial in many regards. There is no need to supervise and control the project development process. It is easy to find the best tech talents because you can collaborate with any professional across the world. Finally, the price of software development services can be extremely attractive.

Many IT outsourcing companies offer quality services at an affordable rate, but how to figure out that one or another developer is just what you need. To make the right choice, you should do a little research before starting a long-term collaboration with an IT firm. Consider these two basic factors that usually affect the price of software development.

1.  Define a destination

The price of IT services changes depending on the location. It is well-known that US developers charge the highest fees. However, besides San Jose and San Francisco, there are plenty of mini-tech hubs where you can find a reliable IT partner to create a digital product for business. In terms of low pricing, you should search for potential candidates in the east of Europe and central Asia that gather thousands of developers working within a $15-$30 hourly rate. The only hurdle that might be here is cultural and language barriers. But if you are sure of either your own or your future developer’s communication skills, it will be a good decision to start collaborating with an IT outsourcing company located in one of these regions.

2.  Examine their proposal

Now when you know where to search, it is essential to carefully consider the offer from a potential developer. The catch may be that some IT outsourcing firms are ready to provide only part of the project development cycle as a result of which you get an unfinished product that requires further improvement and investment. You should make sure that they will deliver the full software life cycle, including design, development, test, deployment, operation, and support. You can understand whether it will be your case or not by asking what specialists will be involved in your project. If the future team will lack a QA or a UX designer, it is a sign that you won’t be delivered ready-to-use software.

How to choose the right company

To protect yourself from the worst-case scenario and still have a good product designed at an affordable rate, the best advice is to interview your potential developer as long as you need to get the correct understanding of what you are going to pay for. It will be a guarantee for the success of your project and also a way to hire a good developer at a good quote.
