IT outsourcing: when software development outsourcing turns into a winning strategy

To face the consequences of Covid-19 and to evolve, companies can rely on IT outsourcing by delegating their software and web development to specialists.

Covid-19 adds new challenges to existing ones

The current health situation marks a new turning point in the history of mankind. According to most specialists, its planetary scope and, above all, its unexpected aspect are, according to the majority of specialists, the beginnings of a major and unprecedented economic crisis. At a time when we are talking about Industry 4.0, the new Industrial Revolution, the "Digital Factory" (a digital factory whose role is to intimately mix tangible products and objects with new digital, virtual and management technologies), the Covid-19 pandemic has suddenly transformed the strategic stakes into constant challenges. Now, to continue to develop, but also to maintain their positioning in the face of competition that pursues the same objectives, companies must optimize each operation.

Do you plan on finding competent developers? How are you going to retain them, which is currently another major challenge for human resources? Transform these issues into assets in the long term with the support and guidance of a partner. Web or digital production agencies or ESNs provide developers, testers, devops, scrum masters or product owners with a contract for production management or technical assistance. Thus, you will benefit from all the technologies and skills necessary to make your projects a reality.

For several years now, IT outsourcing, and more specifically web development outsourcing, has been demonstrating its relevance, its ability to help companies consolidate their presence in their market, to develop, whatever the circumstances. In what way? To sum up: by allowing the various internal players to finally focus on their core business!

Web development: a specialised team at the heart of your outsourcing project!

Web development is the term used to encompass the entire process behind the creation of websites, e-commerce, market place and digital applications in SaaS mode for the web or for a company's intranet (private network). This speciality consists in coding and programming the functionalities of a digital service: thanks to the outsourcing of your web development, we provide you with specialists in programming languages such as HTML and CSS, JavaScript or PHP as well as all the related skills such as testers, Devops, Scrum master or Product Owner to carry out your projects. We bring together a dedicated multidisciplinary team in line with your needs in a fixed-price framework or on a contract basis and accompany you from design to delivery, up to maintenance in tma and hosting.

Beyond the design framing phase, development is divided into three main categories:

• The client-side coding (frontend);
• Server-side coding (backend);
• Database technology

On a daily basis, our agency's web developers apply their digital expertise and knowledge to turn static pages, platforms, applications, e-commerce sites, marketplace or content management systems (CMS) into reality.

Good to know: the difference between Web Development and Website Design

Website design focuses on the look and feel of a website or web application. Graphics, design, information flow, specifications this specialty does not necessarily require mastery of coding, but rather tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop.

A testimonial is worth more than a thousand words

A testimonial is worth more than a thousand words

Here is the testimony of Sandeep, Team Leader in web development within our agency specialized in IT outsourcing. His team is composed of 6 people divided into 3 groups: "Scrum" team, "Kanban" team and "Custom Development" team.

For 2 years now, they have been dedicated to the various projects entrusted by GAC Technology, a French customer who offers a software tool in SaaS mode for fleet management (vehicles, telephones, real estate) for large companies. In order to respond in a relevant way to the client's needs, Zend technology has been privileged.

It's a real partnership that has been formed over time, illustrating the solidity of this IT outsourcing project, so much that Sandeep went to France to launch the project while other team members also went to immerse themselves in our client's teams to accelerate their skills development and get to grips with the processes. As for GAC Technology's project manager, we had the pleasure of welcoming him to our web agency in Mauritius at the end of 2019. During his stay, he was able to spend time with the team and live a typically Mauritian experience.
