Why this choice is strategic
Outsourcing or co-developing software directly impacts revenue, internal productivity and client trust. A bad choice usually costs far more than the initial budget.
5 selection criteria
What we recommend to our B2B clients:
- Verifiable references in your sector
- Clear method: discovery, iterations, UAT, documentation
- Modern but stable stack
- DevOps practices: tests, CI/CD, separate environments
- Contract and source code ownership defined upfront
Red flags
Be cautious if:
- Quote without discovery phase
- No mention of tests or deployment
- Unclear IP ownership
- Unrealistic timelines without POC
