Benefits of web development outsourcing

Outsourcing as a viable workforce engagement model has a long history. Nowadays, it displays a spike in its use cases triggered by the ongoing digitalization drive. Organizations have realized they don’t have to set up their IT department to implement a one-off project. By outsourcing web development services, companies can reap the following perks.

Access to top IT talents

IDSTS has 250 full-time software engineers on board. They continuously improve their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide our customers with high-quality services and cost-effective solutions. We also offer IT staff augmentation for tech companies who need to scale up their development process or enrich it with specific skills.

Expertise in your domain

Technically speaking, most web products have much in common in the principles of their architecture, functioning, and tools leveraged for their building. Yet, for example, a website or a web app in fintech would need a set of features different from one in retail. Outsourcing enables organizations to find developers specializing in their industry who can maximize the value of their solution.

Agile project management

Today, forward-looking IT vendors switch to Agile methodology in their pipeline routine. Introduced initially as a software development approach, this concept is now considered a philosophy of project management in general. Change embracing and supporting free collaboration across interdisciplinary teams results in the swift and efficient creation of high-quality web products.

Cost-efficient solutions

When you have an internal IT crew, you must pay your monthly personnel salaries, provide working space and equipment, cover the utilities they consume, defray sick leaves and vacations, and bear other expenses even if they produce one solution yearly. If you opt for the outsourcing model, you pay third-party specialists only as long as they work on the project.

Web development outsourcing process

Web development is a meaningful endeavor that can yield positive outcomes only when properly organized and managed. During 12+ years of our presence in the IT outsourcing market, we at IDSTS have developed a six-step roadmap that we follow while handling web development projects for clients worldwide.

1

Discovery phase

We recommend starting every project with an in-depth business analysis. This stage allows for clearly defining your business goals, users that will use your software, and requirements. The deliverables of this phase serve the foundation for further development. Usually, those include software specification, recommended tech stack, team composition, project roadmap, Work Breakdown Structure, and more useful documents.
2

Planning

With all the necessary data on the table, we can draw a strategy for project implementation. During this stage, we create functional and non-functional requirements and specifications, choose an architectural pattern, select the tech stack, and outline the project map with principal milestones, KPIs, timeframe, and budget.
3

Design

The first move we make in implementing the project plan is considering the look and feel of the web product we are working on. To understand the technical feasibility of the future solution, we create a proof of concept (PoC) and build a prototype where the UI is visualized. Then, the prototype is submitted for your review and approval.
4

Development

Once all preliminary steps are completed, our vetted web developers step in to implement the concept into a real-life product. While working on the solution’s front and back end, they align its characteristics and features with the project requirements to obtain the software piece that will satisfy all customer’s expectations.
5

Testing

No web solution can be considered good and ready until it is thoroughly tested. The QA experts of IDSTS subject the product to a wall-to-wall testing procedure during which multiple and diverse checks are performed. Only when we are sure that the software piece has no bugs and security gaps can we pass on to the final stage.
6

Deployment

Now the solution can be deployed and released for the user audience to enjoy. Our specialists follow the client’s preferences regarding the system, platform, or cloud environment where they would like to deploy their product. We also configure the hosting/server for the website, application, or portal and help the owner embrace the assets.
7

Maintenance & support

As a responsible IT vendor, IDSTS doesn’t cease its cooperation with the client even after the product is delivered and deployed. We make it a point to stay with our customers as long as it is necessary to provide advice and assistance if they have questions as to the operation of the solution and monitor its functioning to ensure it is problem-free.

What affects your project costs

Organizations opting for outsourcing web development consider cost-efficiency as the chief motive behind this decision. That is why calculating entrepreneurs want to know in advance how much the solution is going to cost them. We can announce the final sum after we take into account the following factors.

Technology chosen
The project scope and complexity
The urgency of project completion
The selected engagement model (Dedicated Team or Time & Material)
The necessity of data migration

How can you help us to develop effectively?

Customers can hardly hope to quickly obtain a high-quality web product if they commission a project and rest on their oars, expecting us to do everything ourselves. We count on close cooperation with our clients, in which we are especially interested in the following information.

The project vision, goals, and roadmap (if they are available)
High-level project requirements
Existing project documentation (software architecture, mockups, etc.)
Budget size
Client’s accessibility for weekly requirements gathering sessions (as a rule, not more than a couple of hours for one meeting)

Types of architecture for web development

Web architecture is the pattern of organization and connection of elements within web products determining the way the components communicate with each other. Why is it important to select the right architecture scheme for your website or web app? Because it is mission-critical for the smooth operation of the solution as well as for its scalability potential. There are five main types to choose from.

Monolithic architecture

In it, back-end units are closely bound together in a single block. All modules are served in one place within it and have a universal code base. This organization is testing- and debugging-friendly and easy to build and deploy, plus maintaining such products is a breeze. It is recommended to be utilized for simple and small web solutions startups begin with, which are unlikely to be upscaled in the future.

Microservices architecture

Here, all features and modules run as separate web products with its own database, scope, and operational logic. Within the solution, they communicate via a set of APIs. You can develop, test, and deploy each element separately, which allows for the simultaneous creation of each module or characteristic. It suits complex products built in several different languages and is susceptible to scalability.

Cloud-based architecture

Existing in three varieties (Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Platform as a Service), this architecture type relies on cloud resources, which enable components to be pooled, shared, and scaled over the network. Such a structure rules out the dependence on on-premises hardware and infrastructure and is perfect for mid- and large-size web projects with evolution potential.

Serverless architecture

Often operating in the form of Function as a Service type of architecture, this organizational pattern enables developers to write code as a set of separate functions while cloud servers run their software at any scale. It is a very cost-efficient model where solution owners pay only when the function is claimed, which makes it a perfect fit for web products where significant traffic fluctuations are envisioned.

Service-oriented architecture

The chief advantage of this model is its capability to maintain reusable services that are designed to perform a specific task and communicate among themselves via the enterprise service bus. In this way, if a service is damaged, other services can still operate unaffected by the malfunction. Such organization is a second-to-none pattern for complex enterprise solutions where high reliability is a must.
