Software development outsourcing

| Coherent Solutions is a software development outsourcing company that creates opportunities and solves problems for its customers as they tackle the complexities of building commercial grade software. Since 1995, we have helped large enterprises, software vendors, and SMBs save development, testing, and maintenance costs, and bring products and complex applications to market faster. |
Coherent's operating model is to perform sales, account management, and front-end consulting onsite with its customers from its Minneapolis, MN headquarters. Coherent Solutions performs software design, development, testing, and maintenance offshore at its development center in Minsk, Belarus.

| Offshore outsourcing can offer significant advantages in software development, including cost savings that can range from between 50-to-70 percent of the cost of internal development or onshore development firms. Offshore software development can make better use of your internal IT resources by allowing you to focus on projects that matter the most to your business while relegating less important work to talented but far less costly developers overseas. |
Yet virtually everyone has heard or had first-hand experience with unsuccessful attempts at offshore outsourcing. Not all vendors are created equal so the secret is in picking the right outsourcing partner. As many U.S. companies have learned, if you select the right partner, software development outsourcing can fully live up to its promises. So what do you need to know before you sign the contract? How do you make sure you select the right partner?

| Experienced outsourcing customers know that they can rely on it to save money, improve quality, increase productivity, and expand the flexibility of their operations. Indeed, savvy companies rely on offshore software development as a strategic business tool, but they know not all outsourcers are created equally and they can only enjoy its benefits if they pick the right vendor. Coherent Solutions has what it takes to be that vendor. We have the necessary skills and experience to maximize the return on your outsourcing investments.

Others used the Coherent team as a base to launch a professional services organization...  Read more
