Software development outsourcing via the eyes of purchacer

Editor's Notes

  1. Igas It süsteemis on piisavalt varjatud muutujaid, mida me ei tea ette ennem kui süsteem pole antud kasutusse.
  2. Vendor offering help
  3. Look for smart questions on RFP’s
  4. Let’s look first on sourcing some labor.I have real world experiences where team leads say that they need an automation engineer to do automation for project X.
  5. This is what they would have got probably.They forgot to mention: * which technology they need to know * what’s exact skillset * etc
  6. Cheapest isn’t good usually.
  7. Be reasonable when working on signing the contract
  8. Be ready to travel.Meet vendor face to face at least once a year.
  9. People act differently in different cultures.Make sure you make yourself familiar with your partner companies culture and act like they excpect.
  10. How tightli you must communicate?
  11. When meeting vendors with whom you would spend time with?Regular employees or managers?Spend all your time and effort with regular employees, they are the ones who create golden eggs.
