Outsourced development - why is it good and a little about how David and Ronit Arlinsky, Sysmop Technologies Ltd.

Many companies already realize that services like IT services, CFO services, or cleaning services should be outsourced. The outsourcing of peripheral services enables company employees to focus on areas where they are strong and to promote them instead of dealing with subjects that others have more experience in, enabling more efficient execution of the work at a similar cost or less. Despite the growing tendency to use outsourcing services, many are mistakenly perceived that the technical development of the product itself or the prototype, cannot be outsourced. Many mistakenly believe that technical realization, or in other words, the core of the company's technology, is an integral part of their core knowledge and invests a lot of resources in it, that can be attributed to the company real business development . When a company is established, the entrepreneurs have two options: first, to recruit workers in the necessary technical fields, to rent offices, to buy furniture and equipment without understanding the complete needs, whether the people hired are suitable, or whether the equipment purchased is the equipment required for the work. The second option is to contact a company specializing in development, a company that already employs exactly the right people, which already has all the necessary equipment and most important, has continuous experience in doing exactly what the entrepreneurs do not specialize in.

By reaching out to an outsourcing company to develop the product, they save weeks and months of searching for employees and receive a team of engineers, with many years of experience tailored to their needs from the company employers, a professional project manager who knows how to lead and support the team technically, options for the production of the prototype or product after development completion, and more. Throughout the development process, the entrepreneurs receive regular progress reports, they are full partners in all the design meetings, nothing is done without their approval, and they have a professional address to get answers from. A development outsourcing company is a solution built to the size of Start-up companies, which are interested in preserving their resources, while exploiting the extensive experience of the outsourcing development company's employees at an affordable cost. Not only start-up companies can benefit from development outsourcing, even a large, multi-resource company can use outsourcing to achieve optimum performance. There is not always
