We are a software development firm located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. And we will show you how a long-distance software development partner can perform as effectively as an in-house team.
The most important point is, we have a good process to resolve the offshore geo distance and offshore time zone differences.
Have you ever had difficulty with offshore software development? I determined yes because there were the same stories with our first clients. In a short time, HDWEBSOFT realized that active communication is the key to solving that issue.
We are very active in communication. Honestly, no one can keep working overnight every day. So our strategy is to avoid the dead-time as much as possible by applying these policies:
In software development and maintenance, no one can say software will always run well.
We can work at night for critical cases. Especially when we start transferring requirements, interviewing developers, solving the major problem,s or delivering important builds.
This is the key to success in solving the time zone difference troubles. For a project, HDWEBSOFT will define a clear communication plan for the client.
Very simple, the plan determines the best formal time frame for communication. Furthermore, it also recommends the best unofficial time frame. By using this, the stakeholders can have more time for communication.
Project leaders need to expand their time for communication after office hours. So they may not be working officially but keep opening their chat messages, and emails to have feedback and reply to any of your concerns.
Our commitment is to have a daily report that is as detailed as possible. It highlights the outstanding issues that need your support. With this, you can review in your daytime and unblock the outsourcing team the next day. Meantime, key members of the project can continue to check and reply in their informal time.
Poor time management may lead to a situation where there is no more doable task for a period of time.
At HDWEBSOFT, we will make sure no dead time by applying the mentioned practices. We have a good reporting process and flexibility in communication for that purpose.
