Dedicated development companies provide a more complete end-to-end service based on core competencies. These core competencies extend beyond just developing the system and include architecture and system design, system stress testing, a proven methodology for managing the project and a support network of partners, team specialists, project managers, designers and testers.

Delivering multiple projects on time and to the agreed specification is a part of a dedicated development company’s core business and as such, continually builds on Knowledge and Experience that ultimately benefits the client. This applies most to the system design and architecture; critical to the longevity of the system.

External development companies are commercially motivated to deliver a working, tested product sooner, rather than later.

If a Project Specification is agreed, the development company is contractually bound to deliver the specified solution at a fixed price.

Once a project is completed, a support structure is in place to ensure that ongoing support is provided for. This is further backed by a commercial motivator to continue offering a service after the project completion.

Each development should be well documented and the code easily structured to allow other developers to access and extend the system. This is not only required in most development contracts but is operationally important to the development.

External development companies are able to suggest new features that internal development teams may not be aware of.
