Outsourcing mobile app development is a practical option for an SME. However, there are a number factors to weigh in. How can you protect IP rights and deal with potential conflicts?
Here are quick tips on how to resolve these issues.
Outsourcing Mobile App Development
Outsourcing is a proven effective alternative. You can lease a mobile app developer on a project basis. Before hiring, you should ask for references and apps that were previously developed. Check the work history of the service provider. There are smaller firms which farm out development work and outsource without informing their clients.
Establish a formal service agreement that clearly indicates that you owns the IP or rights for the code. Determine deliverables and milestones. If still in doubt, ask for the source code from the service provider.
Once these essentials are done, share ideas and concepts with the developer or development team. One of your internal team members can work with the developer, or become part of the team to understand mobile development technology. This is a good way of getting firsthand knowledge for future projects.
Mobile apps are a good way of reaching out to a new audience. Instead of embedding small ads that often annoy customers, SMEs should create smart ads that provide a unique value.
