India's the place to be.

What sort of job descriptions/specs do you normally work from?
Obviously, the more detailed the better! Our programming
staff is very competent and has a great deal of expertise.
Therefore we don't require a great deal of background
information. However, we would like a document
which thoroughly describes the user interface,
data structures, platform requirements, supported languages, sample screen
images, etc. This is an iterative process and
we are always able to nail down what we
need by a few rounds of e-mail with the client.

of your company ? and how do we pay you ?
Projects are classified
into time-and-material projects as well
as fixed. In the case of the
former where payments are made fortnightly,
and in the later case clients can insure themselves from cost
escalations.
Here payments can be made in flexible schemes.
They are:
1. You pay all sum in advance.
2. You pay one half up-front and the last half upon completion.
3. We split project in several parts. Each part is paid
separately, Where 25 % is paid in

What sort of acceptance criteria can we use? and What warranties can you supply?
As described above, payments to us come at scheduled milestones as work is completed. We will provide you
with examples of the work completed to date for you to review. At that time, we can discuss changes which are
required or modifications to the original design specs. You are welcome to discuss this with us at any time during
the project. On completion of the job we will provide you with full source, technical documentation and
development notes from our software engineers. We expect to receive acceptance or a detailed list of exceptions

that the product will work as per the agreed on design specs.

specifics and requirements.}

What
about taxes and legal issues?
One attractive
way would be to relocate some of the development
work to countries like India. While there are
tremendous opportunities in these countries,
a clearer understanding of the tax (till date
no taxes are levied) and legal formalities could
mean the difference between smooth outsourcing
of work and a confusing tangle of delays and
cost overruns. |
