Finding the right Vietnam software developer company can be a difficult task. There are so many options, and they all seem to have some benefits that make them good choices. To help you decide what is right for your business, we will walk you through the process of choosing a software outsourcing company.
How To Choose The Right Software Development Company in Vietnam
Software outsourcing service is a booming business in Vietnam, where the country has been developing and defining the credible potential for years. As one of Japan’s largest partners after China with regards to its share on this market at around 13%, there has been much investment coming from affiliates due mainly because they offer quality resources as well competitive cost when compared against other countries or regions that have lower rates, attrition rate being one example.
Don’t let the thought of software outsourcing and the right software outsourcing companies overwhelm you. We have a plan to help streamline your vendor selection by providing expert guidance and removing any potential obstacles in their way.
Determine your business requirements
To create a successful project, it is important to define your requirements clearly. From there, you can put together an RFP or vendor list with the necessary information for this task in order of priority and deadline considerations if needed.
Writing an RFP is one of the most important steps in any project. Make sure that your requirements are concise and clear, so they can be easily understood by potential vendors or competitors who submit bids on their behalf.
Evaluate partners’ certificates and credentials
Evaluating a potential vendor to work on your project is not always easy. Here is an effective evaluation procedure:
- Checking their backgrounds: This will allow you to get a sense of how long they have been in business and if there are any changes going forward with the company’s growth or contraction plans.
- Identify their credibility and strong capabilities. It is important for them to maintain credibility by staying up-to-date through certifications relevant to solving our problem(s).
- Look at testimonials from other customers. Ensure that you get customer testimonials from other clients who had positive experiences working together before you.
- Look for customer reviews, either positive or negative. This will help you gauge the vendor’s ability and make it easier for you to determine what to expect.
- Check for additional or hidden costs
- Carry out a test drive
Prepare an initial list
Now that you’re ready to start planning your next move, which is choosing the right Vietnam software outsourcing company, prepare a list. Your approach may vary depending on what type of work needs doing. Here are some ideas:
- If you want to find out who would be a good match for your skills, it’s important that both parties have equal knowledge. This way, the decision will reflect what is best in the interest of everyone involved. Ask around and see if anyone can recommend someone or share insight about their experience with them so far.
- It is recommended that you post on a domain expert forum or mailing list. This will allow people to go back and forth with their questions without being too far away from each other geographically because not everyone has access to the internet 24/7.
- Look at industry publications to find out what other companies, such as yours are up against.
- Carry out thorough research on Google. Google has always been an important part of SEO (search engine optimization) because they rank websites based on their popularity among other sites within internet explorer; this makes them one powerful tool that many marketers use today.
Conduct Vendor interviews
After determining who you would like to interview, shortlist three or five candidates. The company should conduct preliminary interviews and send out a detailed proposal for your review before making any decisions on which vendor they prefer going forward within this process of selection.
Vendor Selection
At this point, you have narrowed down your choices to a few vendors and must now decide which one will be best. It can be difficult because each company has something different that catches someone’s eye or meets all of their needs in terms of price range etcetera. Therefore, it’s important to pick based on personal preference and what is most suitable for YOUR specific situation.
What I would recommend doing- if there are more than 2 great candidates: Do another analysis comparing the pros/cons between them (i.e. cost). If both offer similar services, then keep one as a backup.
Contract Negotiations
Time for you to agree on terms, sign your contract with them then move forward. The price is usually negotiable, but once it’s agreed upon, make sure that this will be one of only two payments needed-the final payment only comes after work has been fully completed by both parties involved.
Factors To Consider When Choosing The Right Software Development Partner in Vietnam
Vietnam is a developing country with abundant human resources, but it’s also challenging because not all of them speak English. If going with locals is not an option due to language barriers, then some things will need to be considered when working alongside other teams within your company’s ecosystem. This includes dealing with developers from other countries outside of Southeast Asia who may also come into play at some point down the line, especially since they’re often more skilled than average workers here. Some of the factors to consider include:
- Vendors experience and ability to solve different time zone problems
As software developers, we are often faced with the challenge of working in an international environment. This is due to our clients’ need for time-zone-aware solutions and because many other factors like language barriers can create complicated situations when designing and developing applications that span several countries or regions around the world. However, when choosing the right Vietnam software outsourcing company or any place, it must always be done securely so that information doesn’t leak out into unsecured channels where hackers may take advantage.
- 24/7 Support
If you need help with your software, it is best to contact a developer who has experience working on this specific product. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a partner that provides support from any time during their day or night as well.
- Proper communication plan
The company can propose a communication channel in the unofficial time that helps solve client problems immediately because there are no geographical distances between them. This will allow the vendor to complete tasks within official working hours while also supporting you through your own personal channels outside of work when needed for help or advice on certain things too difficult without them.
● In-depth technical experience in the vendor’s leadership
Offshore development is more efficient than on-site because they know what’s best for your software. There are some offshore software development companies you can trust in the world. Their advantage lies in management and operation methods towards comprehensive efficiency, with no time-wasting meetings. Also, if you want to develop custom software, you can still consider custom software development outsourcing in some Asian countries. It is also a good idea.
● Ability and experience in solving the language barrier
Vietnamese developers can adapt and learn new languages quickly. As a result, many can speak excellent English despite being beginners in this skill compared with writing or reading abilities.
Final Thoughts
Now that you know the process for choosing the right Vietnam software outsourcing company, it is up to you to decide who will be the best fit. We hope this blog post helped shed some light on your options and how they can benefit your business.
