What Makes You Guys Different?
Glad you asked because that really is the fundamental question isn’t it? Software development outsourcing is a crowded space. Companies have hundred of options, but the vendor’s quality is extremely important in realizing the potential. Our business is based on three footings: Exceptional people, transparent process, and a culture of commitment.
Exceptional people. Our offshore software development professionals command the respect of their peers. They know software and software development. They’re highly trained and experienced, and they keep on learning. You can scale the size of your outsource team up or down, as needed, without sacrificing pace or expertise because the Coherent team makes it a practice to share their knowledge and experience, and they stay current on the latest in software development and testing.
Transparent process. Quality software development is seldom a straight path. Which means that everyone on the team must be clear on roles and objectives, and in frequent and direct communications in order to keep the project on track. Coherent Solutions is experienced and comfortable in using a variety of software development methodologies. In every case, however, the Coherent process is based on genuine openness and trust among all members of the team, both internal and outsource, with an overriding focus on results. Coherent team members help to facilitate process and outcomes by asking questions for clarification, challenging where appropriate, and making suggestions for improvement when helpful, based on their commitment and broad experience. Your delivery manager provides oversight of your project with onsite visits to your offices on a regular basis. In addition, you have direct access to any of the development team any time (internal and outsource developers typically meet on a daily basis).
Culture of commitment. Inserting a group of “outsiders” into a client’s existing team to help meet some very ambitious software development goals is no small challenge. For our clients, it works because we understand the importance of demonstrating both technical and relational competency at all levels of the organization. We work hard to develop and maintain close and productive relationships founded on mutual trust, respect, commitment and accountability. We make sure that we understand what you need and expect, and we’re committed to helping you deliver on time, on task, on budget.
It doesn’t sound revolutionary, but it’s true. Our employees become valued members of the client’s team and process. We know it works because we’re called back time and again to help them on one project after another.
