The Software Development Challenge
You have software that needs to be developed. Perhaps you:
- Are working with old, outdated software solutions based on MS DOS
- Do not want to pay expensive licensing fees on a yearly basis
- Just want something that is customized for your business and off the shelf applications just do not meet your needs
You have looked at software development companies, but the pricing is just not competitive for you to get the return on investment you want out of your software.
So the natural path leads you to working with offshore software development companies. But the stories you have heard makes you nervous to go down that road. The interactions with different people and cultures can be exciting, but what impact will this have on your development?
How can the project be successful when language, work styles and company values are sure to conflict?
The Solution You Have been Looking For
 SoftControl gives you new reasons to look at outsourcing software development offshore. We offer these services with the right combination of proper planning and offshore development services. Here is how:
Unlike other local programming services, our Software Development capabilities combine:
- Expat based Consultancy and System Analysis
- Thailand based German managed software development and documentation services.
With onsite analysts and technical staff, we minimize all risks and potential project downturns through constant communication and efficient project management.
Furthermore, with detailed up front analysis and offshore software development, we are able to offer competitive, fixed contract pricing, a major advantage to you.
While cost is a major advantage of ours, it is the quality of the work we are dedicated to.
The Software Development Process
We have the people and the resources to develop bespoke software applications for your business, giving you world-class, cost effective programming services for:
- Microsoft .Net
- ASP.Net
- VB.Net
- C#
- PHP
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle
- IBM DB2
The outsourcing process can be broken up into four areas:
1. Project Initiation
2. Software Development
3. Testing & Documentation
4. Project Handover
They key component to our process is that the majority of work - the software development and documentation development - is done offshore by our expat owned company in Thailand. This is where the major cost savings come in for your business.
1. Where We Begin: Project Initiation
Project Initiation is far more than handshakes and smiles. At this stage, our technical and process experts will engage you to determine what your key needs are for the implementation of the development. The requirements document is the most important part of the entire process - when this is done correctly, the project will progress smoothly.
Our experts have been working in the IT industry since the early 80’s. We have a large amount of experience with development projects as we have been offering programming services in Asia since 1993. During our site audit, we examine the environment the software will be used in, quantify any existing specifications and create recommendations for a software and architecture solution which meets your needs and budgets.
During this stage we:
- Determine System and Component Architecture
- Develop Requirements Document
- Document Software Communication Protocols
- Establish Final Pricing
2. Where Your Costs Savings Are: Software Development
The software development part is the key to our competitive advantage. In Thailand we do the following:
- Determine Coding Structure
- Develop Code
- Document Code
- Develop and Implement Rigorous Testing Programs
These processes are managed by German staff in Thailand.
Because the all of the software development effort is done in Thailand, we are able to offer significant cost savings over other software development services.
During this time, our team will work with you to keep you updated on progress and feature implementation.
3. Finalizing the Details: Testing and Documentation
The development process is then transitioned back to your site. We then implement the final testing program to ensure the software works in your active environment. This includes:
- Execution of Pilot Phases
- Server/Client deployment
- Onsite Installation and Onsite/Remote Testing
- In-House Quality Assessment
In parallel, the software manual will be developed to allow you to train current and future staff on how to use the software. Further cost reductions can be seen by creating this content in Thailand.
4. Wrap Up: Project Handover
We then focus on handing over the project to you, and wrap up any final details. When the QA team has approved the software, we then go through the following process:
- Software Installation
- Manual/Documentation Handoff
- User Acceptance and Signoff
- Final Implementation Training
For larger deployments and complex applications, we usually recommend a train-the-trainer concept that empowers your staff to continue the user trainings and builds onsite application experts.
To ensure the long-term value of your investment, we can provide added value services after the delivery of the working software.
Fixed Contract Pricing
One of your biggest advantages of working with us is our fixed contract pricing. Because we do not work on a time and materials basis, you can immediately calculate the ROI for your software solution.
