When it&rsquo;s time to embark on your next software development project, let the right team do the heavy lifting so you are free to do what you do best: run your business. It&rsquo;s tempting to project manage yourself &mdash; after all, no one knows your unique business operations better than you.

But the most successful projects are led by experts from the outset. Whether you need a software expert or a project management expert, they can focus all their skills on your goals &mdash; delivering to your individual requirements cost-effectively, efficiently, and without any of the day-to-day time commitment of doing it yourself. There are four key elements to look for when selecting a partner: talent, history, speed, and support.

Partner with a Talented Team 

In any industry, talent defines the strength of your success. In software development in particular, a range of talent is essential if projects are to be completed in a time- and costeffective manner. Talent is not only defined by technological skills, but also by the ability of an external team to seamlessly integrate into your existing team to work effectively. At SoftServe, we have more than 500 of the best software engineers in the industry.

Whether it&rsquo;s big data, IoT, cloud, DevOps, digital commerce, security or experience design, our experts have the knowledge to help with any software development project. For example, SoftServe equipped ContractPal, a SaaS business process outsourcing company, with better confidence in its security posture, using our unique approach to security testing. ContractPal required proof of regular code review and security audits, with a specific requirement for manual ethical hacking by a third-party organization.

Soft Skills 

For software development projects everywhere, a lack of communication can topple a project no matter how much technical expertise a collective in-house team has. Your team should have a variety of skills that concentrate on your technological solution, but also have communication and soft skills. These traits are key especially for clients who operate in more than one country, as cultural nuances and cross-border thinking is increasingly required. Ultimately the project&rsquo;s success rides not only on the talent and expertise of the team, but their ability to work collaboratively with existing teams, likely across the globe.

Developing Talent 

A good software development company is constantly assessing its demands, and monitors the market to define a pool of professional, experienced candidates with the right skills and work history. Similarly, these companies should also be constantly monitoring internal personnel to identify high-potential employees to provide them with new, challenging tasks, leading them to new growth and career opportunities. At SoftServe, all of our employees go through a rigorous training program that helps them to develop the skills that they need for success.

A History of Solving Software Challenges

A history of product diversity is a key component to your team as your project gets off the ground.

Although you may have hired an expert for a niche problem in the past, you may have noticed that as a project gains momentum, other elements are identified and should be addressed to ensure your objectives are met. This is where the experience of your engineers comes into play.

Choosing the right partner can not only help you address your known software development challenges, but overcome unforeseen hurdles that inevitably present themselves throughout the lifecycle. By choosing a partner with a long history and varied software partnerships, you can safeguard yourself against complex problems and unpleasant surprises.
