Software development options in Auckland.




As a purchaser of a programmed software solution you have several choices how to resource your project. Size of the application, timeframe for delivery and the nature of the user base are simply three of many factors that will impact your decision.

If it is an ongoing in-house project and you have adequate practical and technical IT project management skills you may consider hiring a full time or contracted software developer through such sites as www.seek.co.nz.

If you have experience working with Indian programmers and have the skills in house to manage them at a technical level you may consider outsourcing your software development from Auckland to India using a site such as www.Elance.com

If you prefer a local Consultancy/Programming house in Auckland with an experienced software development team then you can use a softwaredevelopment company such as www.headstartsolutions.co.nz.

Head Start also runs a supplementary team of software developers based in India. This can provide a hybrid solution to clients reducing costs but still providing the local software presence in Auckland.

All three options have their merits and selecting the right one for you is critical in the success of your project. Like with most things, correct planning and design are vital factors in a software development project.
