Some FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions that we frequently receive:
1. Ok. So tell me why should I outsource to you?
First of all, outsourcing is the cheapest way to develop your project into a mature product. Our rates are much lower than the rates of your in-house developers and you do not need to spend money on their equipment as well. Second, it saves the time you might spend by searching for specialists in your home town to do a professional job. Third, it helps you to distribute your company’s tasks in the most effective way by giving secondary tasks to an outsourcing team and loading your own in-house developers with more immediate tasks.
2) Where are you, guys, located?
Ok, not to intimidate you or anything … we are located in Lahore, “Pakistan”. No, there are no suicide bombers here, and no we are not islamic extremists. We are as passionate about business as you are, and just like you our focus is to create value for our partners and clients. Period. Other than that, Lahore is one of the most colorful cities of Asia. It has the biggest kite flying festival in the world and the cultural life of Lahore is simply unmatched. Oh and by the way, Lahorities live to eat!
3) Can you do something with my website to make it more effective?
Sure we can! Our specialists are capable of evaluating your web site and “prescribe” the best solution for its rejuvenation. Among other things, our developers create web applications which can increase the flow of your website’s visitors and make your business more effective.
4) Why are you so sure that your company is the best?
The main factor that sets us apart from other offshore development centers is the quality of communications. We pay the highest attention to communication as the most important factor when working through the continents on a software development project.
There is quite a number of aspects of communication:
Response time – getting feedback to you when you request something. Even if the response is to set a time and date for a meeting, it is far better than no response. We reply within 12 hours at any cost.
Quality of communication – we listen to you, not just hear everything you say, not simply listen. Thus we avoid misunderstanding, which might result in wasted time and money. There is no language barrier, and therefore the communication is efficient.
Communication around the clock – we are willing to work around time barriers to accommodate the customer. Our usual working day starts at 7 a.m. GMT and lasts till 10-11 p.m. GMT.
5) Are you interested in Join Venture partnership to share profits?
Of course, we have a number of joint ventures and constantly look for proactive people to fix another part of the equation, e.g., we are best in production and you are best in sales/marketing/promotion. We’ve got a number of ideas to be deployed through the joint venture approach. If both parties keep their word and respect time and money of their associates, such a joint venture has all the chances to prosper.
6) XYZ company is cheaper than you, why?
We do not claim to be the cheapest resources around. However, we are one of the best and certainly amongst the top tier when it comes to value for money. So you got an idea and you lack the financial resources to bring it to life. No problem! We’ll help you release an early version of your product and will help you get started. Once you are off-the-ground, you can add more features, and also generate revenue (or raise funding or whatever!). The bottom line is that unlike others we’ll work as a part of YOUR team and create a best product for you. Also please realize that Pakistan is slightly cheaper than India and other countries. So if you get some prices lower than us from India that means they are working at MUCH lower rates than us, which means that either they are a small startup trying to build some portfolio (at your expense) or they alreayd have ready-made stuff made which means they’ll most probably be trying to finish the project as soon as possible wtihout putting any additional effort. Given this, it’s better to hire a slightly more expensive, but much more dedicated team, which will work passionately and ensure that you achieve a good ROI on your investments.
