Telecom Application Development: When to Outsource

2022-02-06 by 404TS Team

Telecommunication is about making communication possible on a global scale, either through phones or the Internet, airwaves, cables, wires, or wirelessly. Telecommunication application development is about creating applications that enable or enhance communication. While the industry used to be quite limited and entry to the market difficult, deregulation and innovation have made it easier for companies to launch their own telecommunication software development companies or to benefit from the skills of outsourced telecom software developers. 

If you want to venture into the world of software development for telecom, you have to consider whether you want to build your own team from scratch or whether you want to outsource the work to a custom telecom software development company. 

Options for Telecom Application Development

If you want to start exploring telecom software development services, you have to consider the route you take. The traditional model was to hire your own team and build it up from scratch. You would use your own HR team or a recruitment agency to find the best telecom developers on the market, go through a process of vetting and interviewing the candidates, hiring them, and then you would start your project. 

Hiring your own team is considered quite antiquated in the software world, but that’s not to say it’s not the right choice for you. Hiring your own in-house team is a good option if your company meets the right criteria. 

The key to success is knowing when to choose to outsource – because hiring your own team is time-consuming and expensive. Decide upfront if outsourcing is right for you. 

Outsourced Telecom Application Development is Right For You:

If You Need To Cut Costs

Hiring your own telecom app team is going to be expensive. Developers’ salaries are quite high – up to $120,000 per annum, per developer in the USA. You’ll also need to spend money on bonuses, give away equity (shares in the business), account for medical insurance, provide vacation time and sick leave. If you use a recruitment firm, you should also add a commission to each salary. A recruitment agency will charge between 10-20% of the developers’ annual salary in commission for finding and placing the right candidate with you. For rare skills, you can pay up to 30% of their annual salary to the agency. If that developer quits, you will have wasted the commission and the time spent training them. 

If You Need to Save Time

Time to market can make a huge difference. Even if you have a great idea, if someone beats you to the punch and launches a similar app before you do, you could lose out on market share before you even get out of the gate. Finding, vetting, hiring, and negotiating with candidates can take months. This can delay your project much longer than it needs to. When you use an outsourced agency, they will have a number of skilled, complete development teams on their books and can place the right candidates with you very quickly. Background checks will have already been completed. If a developer leaves, they have a backup candidate that can start right away. 

If You Need Expertise and Equipment For Less

The developers that offer telecom software development services via these outsourcing agencies are experts in their field. They have years of experience to offer your business, specific to your industry. The great news is that they come with their own equipment and do not require office space, which saves you money. If you outsource to an offshore destination like Ukraine, you can expect to pay a third of the salary to these developers than you would in the USA. 

Outsourcing isn’t for everybody, but if you need to cut costs and gain access to real experts in a record time for your telecom application development project, outsourcing can be a lifesaver. Make sure you pick the right outsourcing company, and your project will be complete in no time.
