Choosing The Right Software Developer

It’s an industry flourishing with dynamic innovations, technology, and trends that are everchanging much like fashion. Something à la mode today will feel like dial-up internet by next year. This is a wide field with a vast range covering more than just custom development and design, but also machine learning, blockchain, IoT, and even artificial intelligence. The decision in choosing the right partner can determine the rapid success or fleeting decline of your enterprise. And that’s what you’re looking for in a software developer, a partner to assist you in your company’s growth.

Staying Relevant and Innovative

There’s no finish line in technological advancement. Software design, automation, functionality, and efficiency have no end. If you don’t keep up, you fall behind, and in this industry, quicker than any other. Seeking a partner with an innovation statement that focuses on their prevailing knowledge and momentum is a direct testament to their staying ahead of the curve, and up to speed with the changing technological world. Take a good look at recent projects a company can exhibit, dig into their blog or publications, this will give you a good feel for where they are today and how they’re staying relevant for tomorrow. Ensuring that your software development partner has the ability to create and respond to change, while staying ahead of today is crucial.

Communication and Workflow

Skill and experience are wonderful with any craft, but dedication and commitment help manifest the greatest consequence. Everyone loves undivided attention, and it’s important to know if the company you choose can offer it by having an adequate workforce for your needs. And however large or small those needs may be, ensure that you’re hiring a team that’s dedicated to your projects throughout their duration. Hiring someone to work in-house will certainly give you the best opportunity to communicate, a quick walk and a knock can get your answers in a matter of minutes, but hiring a full-time developer to sit and work in your office can be very costly, and most arduous software projects require more than one person.

Software development is a very complex process; plans change, new ideas emerge, features become obsolete, additional functions are desired, instructions need clarification, it can be complicated without consistent communication and the ability to get answers immediately. They say time is money, and wasting either one is bad business. When it comes to outsourcing your software development needs, the companies that are set up for the greatest success have ample ability to communicate. With the emergence of more effective online communication platforms, companies can ensure that their developers are wired in, and at your beckon call when they’re needed. This gives you the ability to keep constant focus on the progress with your developers while staying within budget and time constraints. Communication is a key factor in improving developmental workflow.

Ongoing Support and Maintenance

As with many large purchases like a car, you’re wise to consider an extended warranty. When it comes to building custom software, there’s no difference in the need for that bumper to bumper coverage. The true integrity of a great software developer is tested not only during the buildout process, but also after completion. The job is never finished as technology is constantly evolving, the need for reliable maintenance is paramount. It’s not just about fixing bugs, removing outdated functions, language updates, or changes to the code base, it’s also about optimizing performance, security, efficiency, and eliminating vulnerabilities.

It also comes down to scalability, as your company grows the software should grow along with it. Similar to operating system updates, continuously modifying and implementing new strategies is critical in maintaining sustainability and staying competitive with your software. You’ll need a development partner who can understand the growth strategies and your business goals. Flexible and scalable architecture and intuitive user interface ensures that your software benefits your company long-term.

At the heart of every growing enterprise is a quality custom software solution. Software has made its way into nearly every area of our lives, and we’re becoming increasingly dependent on these systems because they improve efficiency not only in business, but life in general. You need a software developer that will tailor their solutions to meet your specific needs, someone who is readily available and engaged in your project, and a partner who will assist you in achieving your business objectives.

Thank you for helping my store this month. Every year after the holidays sales decline and thanks to you I was able to get the summer inventory in stock that we needed. You’ve all been very helpful.

I appreciate the all the work you put into helping the business. I didn’t really think there were going to be many options until we had our initial conversation, and there’s a great stress off my shoulders now that we’ve made headway. Looking forward to working together from now on.

Our bank suggested my husband and I take out a loan on our house to finance our business that’s been open for 10 years and made us think there were no other options. Come to find out they didn’t really know as much as you would think a bank should. Statzer Consulting helped get us through the SBA process and just over 3 months after we were able to move the business out of our house and into an office, fully furnish that office, pay off over 40 thousand in credit debt and hire 2 new people. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for everything.

Statzer Consulting assisted in some real estate investing that my business partner and I were endeavoring. With their guidance we were able to move forward on a project that seemed out of reach given a few hurdles we were dealing with at the time. I am very happy with Josh and his expertise, we will be working together from now on.

$250,000 credit line approval, check – $100,000 a month in invoices finally factored appropriately, check – 3 merchant loans paid off and done with forever, check – After 24 years in business and nearly 1/2 a million in miscellaneous debt spread out, it finally makes sense. We were never doing bad, actually business is great and has been on the upswing for a couple of years but we never realized that we had options to get our debts structured until we spoke with this company. Very relieved and grateful for the introduction. Good team over there, thank you.

I’ve been badgered for years about loans from companies calling, emailing and even walking into my shop at one point. Ended up getting into a couple of situations that put a strain on the business recently, fortunately I was able to get out of it with a solution made possible by Statzer Consulting. Not only am I out of the daily debt that burdened us, I was able to get enough on top to redesign the back of our studio completely which I’ve been talking about doing for years but never had the money. This will do good for us when the next festival comes into town, we’ll be ready, thank you for all your help.
