In this day and age, outsourcing of product development is extremely common. Generally an enterprise opts for outsourced product development for any or all of the following reasons;

• Acquire expertise not currently available; outsourcing provides you with a team of experienced professionals having the right expertise to develop a product as per your specifications. Building an internal development team otherwise would require full time involvement from the management leaving little time to focus on core activities
• Manage costs; outsourcing helps minimize costs involved in the development of products including employee costs such as salary, taxes, benefits, overhead expenditure on office space, desks, computer, training, software and hardware tools, supporting costs on information systems, management, human resources, payroll, etc.
• Manage risk: you face lower financial and operational risk because your investment in infrastructure is lower. You avoid risk costs such as downsizing costs including severance pay, legal support, etc.
• Save time; you have more time at your disposal to focus on other core activities such as marketing and selling
• Flexibility; since you do not own the engineering team you can easily downsize or close the project anytime

Typically, a software project goes through the following phases:

1. Conceptualization (detailing the idea)
2. Elaboration (getting the requirements, deliverables, project scope and plan)
3. Design
4. Development (programming, testing)
5. Quality Assurance (testing, bug fixing)
6. Deployment (transition of source code or installation of product, user documentation, training)
7. Technical maintenance/support or further enhancement of the software system

You can acquire SigmaTec’s services at any stage. Starting from Product Conceptualization and Prototyping to Product Maintenance, we have the ability and the experience to serve our client in all the PDLC stages reducing overheads for them.

You can submit your initial information in any form through email and our official will contact you to know your details.

We mostly conduct online communications via email, messengers, voice/video conferencing. If required personal visits can also be made.

This depends on what kind of project you want outsourced from SigmaTec. There are three basic modes in which we charge; Project Based, Management fee and Per hour basis.

If the product development spans over a period of months a collective amount is charged. If you plan to have a large team for a project, the cheaper way of doing it is Management fee because the fee is spread out and also helps in achieving economies of scale. In case you will only use our services on an infrequent basis, opting for per hour charges is the suitable option for you.

We’re always in complete coordination with our clients providing them with plans and weekly updates. We gather client’s inputs during the entire development life cycle, this helps in avoiding conflicts and objections in the end.
