Frequently Asked Questions

By outsourcing you will continue to focus all your resources on your core business and your customers. You will not need to divert significant key resources and energy to the project. You gain cost advantages and increased efficiency. You have access to experienced resources skilled in their core business of software development. And you gain flexibility in technology expertise. At MOST Programming, we use over 35 years of business experience to clearly understand your business, the outcomes and the value you wish to generate with your project. This enables us to define a clear and correct path and avoid the 2X rule so many of us have experienced in software development projects. Twice the time and twice the budget. We meet with you frequently; short meetings to show you the development path and make sure your thoughts and desires are fully incorporated. As a team we continue to your desired end goal.

Cost efficiencies are achieved in many ways. First, you are budgeting for the payment of a partial number of hours rather than full time employees and benefits. Second, the development team is selected for the special skills needed for your specific project. The team is highly effective and focused on your project needs from the start. When the project needs additional skills, you don’t have internal redundancy or need to add new resources.

MOST Programming specializes in custom software development. Unlike a typical corporate website, each project that we develop is unique. It may vary from simple applications to large projects with intermittent deliverables over a longer time frame. We collect and document all the requirements. We ask you a lot of clarification questions, pick the right technical solution, and perform a breakdown of the functionality. We track and charge our project management and development time by the hour. To develop a budget, we break your project into phases so that the phase specifications become more finite and estimable. We have found that continual scheduled communication with you is key to achieving efficiencies and your desired outcomes.

In complex projects it is not always possible to predict and identify all aspects of the specifications. There will be unknowns identified during the development process. Splitting the project into phases helps identify the unknowns as part of the project process. It avoids misdirection, wasted time and money, and allows for changes to be made efficiently. In addition, it allows creation of an MVP or pilot implementation of the solution.

Yes, we have much experience in taking over existing software projects developed by others. We will audit the code, fix any errors, update the standard libraries, convert to the latest framework and suggest enhancements to improve code efficiency (increase speed, reduce memory utilization, optimize the database, etc.). With your input, we will identify and develop the legacy code with new functionality and new value required.

Yes absolutely. We will provide support and maintenance services. We fully document all knowledge to efficiently resume the project and develop new features if they are required. This is an additional benefit of outsourcing versus using an in-house team. You can pause and resume your project with minimum costs and overhead.

We want to provide you with the project value and outcomes you desire, on time and on budget. Our success rate is 93% on time and 98% on budget. We believe that the most important factor in project success is to clearly define the desired business value, outcomes and project specifications at the beginning. Your business value may be defined by a go to market strategy, competitive analysis, product strategy, revenue projections, operational efficiency or new product development. We use our past business experience to help you review the requirements and define the business functionality of the project. Then we move to the development part of the project, with continual feedback and input from you as part of our team. Ter mediate results in phases as we develop your project.
