When you see the prospects and potential for solving a problem that people often face, it is essential that this solution is implemented as soon as possible, or rather, before someone else does it for you. Particularly when it comes to software, you need to have someone on hand who will thoroughly understand the nuances of your niche and be able to respond instantly to both its trends and your amendments. Unfortunately, such flexibility is rarely achievable with the two popular pricing models – Fixed Price and Time & Materials. So what other option is there? Find out below.
Flexibility Is What You Need
Let’s consider again the features of the two collaboration models with remote development teams described above. For example, a Fixed Price is rarely used for startups since it initially implies what the final product will be like: what its audience is, what technical and non-technical requirements it has, what design nuances are, and so on. In the case of Time & Materials, you will be forced to pay extra costs for each edit you make, which can be extremely destructive for an already limited budget.
There is only one option left – to hire a dedicated software development team. In this case, each of its members will have their own rate, and the team will communicate with you when you need it; moreover, your contractors will work only on your project, which will eliminate any delays and downtime – that is, this is exactly what you need.
Additional Benefits You Receive
In addition to the fact that cooperation with dedicated teams may be the only viable option for your startup in terms of the speed of its implementation and saving its budget, you also receive several additional advantages.
Fast start
Typically, it takes no more than two to three weeks to assemble dedicated software development teams for a startup. If we add to this a couple of days required for drawing up and signing the NDA, it turns out that the direct process of creating your solution will begin less than a month after your first contact with the contractor.
Scalability
As the requirements for your project change or stages of work on it are completed, you can remove or add new dedicated software developers. In this way, you will not encounter any downtime or forced overpayments associated with the support of specialists whose skills the project no longer needs.
Expertise in your niche
The peculiarity of dedicated software development teams is that the contractor company that takes responsibility for providing services selects each of its participants based on experience working in the client’s area. This way, your team will not have random people who do not understand what and why needs to be done at a specific stage of the project.
Further support and service
While you can end your collaboration with a dedicated team immediately after launching a startup, you can also turn to them in the future for technical support and/or development of updates. Thus, you will still collaborate with the same professionals who thoroughly understand which technologies and tools will be best for your project.
Final Thoughts
Now, having a complete understanding of all the benefits and features of a dedicated software team, you can make an informed choice in favor or against it for your startup. In particular, if your decision is positive, you can always contact us. We will select top experts in your subject area who will lead your idea to success.
