Your 3rd-Party App Development Project should be protected, on-time, and on-budget. Except it isn’t always easy to know when a software development agency is full of it or outright malicious. How do you protect your project, investment, and business? Well, think about how you interact with vendors now… 1. You get clear on your business needs and convey them as clearly as possible 2. You draft a solid contract outlining deliverables, tying payments to those deliverables, and outlining penalties for breaching the contract. 3. You closely monitor the progress and execute the contract And then… the engagement is over. Easy, right?! But when you don’t have highly technical folks in-house, it’s hard to hold a development agency accountable when schedules change, costs rack up, and they hold the keys to the code. And Harvard Business Review reports that 1 in 6 tech projects go over budget by 200% and over schedule by 70%...!!! And that includes companies with competent CTOs! -So those that have a trusted advisor to guide the development strategy and hold an agency accountable are leveling the playing field And all of a sudden… You and your company have an app that either drives new revenue or cuts operational costs for your business without being locked into a specific vendor. So, here's where we come in. And we typically work with 7-8 figure non-tech companies without in-house engineering that plan to or currently work with software development agencies for their app project. And here's how we work with them... 1. Strategic Alignment: We begin by meticulously validating your app idea, ensuring it seamlessly integrates with and enhances your business strategy. 2. Design & Architecture: Post-validation, our focus shifts to meticulously designing the app's architecture. We break down the entire process into manageable steps, perfectly primed for any development agency. 3. Contractual Assurance: Collaborating with your legal team, we help forge a robust contract. This ensures you retain code ownership, ties payments to milestones, sets up regular progress reviews, and outlines the tools to be used to enforce the contract. 4. Quality & Compliance Oversight: We vigilantly oversee the development process, upholding high quality standards and adherence to the agreed timeline and budget. 5. Delivery & Empowerment: The result? A high-functioning app delivered without the perils of code ransom, on time, and on budget.
