Key Success Factors in Software Programming Process

Choosing among thousands of software outsourcing providers from around the world is not an easy thing to do. All offshore software outsourcing companies list their advantages on their websites and only some of them really stand out from the crowd.

What makes Oxagile different from its competitors is a unique combination of qualities carefully selected throughout the creation and growth of our team:

Efficiency

Efficient work is achieved at Oxagile by following well defined processes, choosing the most suitable client cooperation models and software development methodologies for every project. We deliver individual approach to each customer, project, or task. That results in 100% correspondence to and satisfaction of our customers' needs. Our aim is long term relationship with all our customers.

Efficiency of Oxagile's team is communicated through its constant evolution, high motivation, great team work, and especially Oxagile's custom software development experience of more than 350 man-years. Our team creates synergy in daily activities and lets our customers benefit from it.

Efficiency of cooperation between your company and Oxagile occurs no matter if the time zone difference between our countries is large (offshore outsourcing) or small (nearshore outsourcing) - we take advantage of either option. Time difference between Belarus and Europe is 1-2 hours, and between Belarus and the USA/Canada - 7-10 hours. Clear and effectively organized communication as well as careful planning can easily counterbalance distance. And we still work, when you are asleep!

Quality

Oxagile strives for and achieves high quality of processes and results because of several reasons. First of all, our quality assurance team works independently from project management team and is responsible only to the program manager, no matter if he\she represents our outsourcing company or client's company.

Independent QA team constantly organizes quality crosschecks and audit of internal processes in order to manage their optimization and improvement.

Close cooperation between business analysts and project managers leads to better correspondence of the end product to your customer's business needs We constantly grow and develop together with technology. Many of our processes (e.g. planning, version tracking, defect tracking, test case management, etc.) are automated, which allows minimizing mistakes caused by human factor.

Predictability

Oxagile's predictability is carried out on two levels: corporate and governmental. As far as the corporate level is concerned, organization of our software development processes complies with industry standards (ISO 9001, ISO 12207), and is guided by process best practices (RUP, MSF, DSDM, Agile, XP, etc.), adequate planning and risk management.

On the governmental level predictability is guaranteed by governmental support of software development companies in Belarus. The ongoing IT Development Support Program offers a set of preferences (e.g. tax cuts) to software development companies in Belarus, which makes Oxagile even more competitive on the international market of offshore/nearshore outsourcing.

Reliability

What should be done in order to earn the image of a reliable partner? Honesty and responsibility. And Oxagile's team is honest and responsible. If we take up a project or a task, we ensure it is done on time and with maximum possible quality. Detailed documentation, staff backup program, distributed data backup system - all this as well as vast experience of working with other offshore/nearshore teams in a cluster and lasting relationships with our clients provide a clear proof of our reliability (For more information, please visit Portfolio).

Manageability

At Oxagile we develop custom software using logic and common sense, two languages easily understood by anyone who has the skill. Besides, we acknowledge and appreciate cultural differences, and take advantage of cultural proximity elements. Our management staff is advanced in written/spoken English, and other team members speak and write at least at intermediate level. We also provide effective tools and techniques (e.g. instant messaging, regular audio/video conferences, regular on-site personal or team meetings, on-site, meetings) to enhance a clear line of communication.

We are mature and creative enough to handle complex projects, as well as assiduous and attentive to follow your top-down policies and guidelines. We are flexible and together we can work out the best IT solution for your business needs.

Transparency

When managing an offshore/nearshore software outsourcing team it is crucial to be sure you have the control over the ongoing processes. On-line project tracking, regular custom reporting tailored for customer needs, dedicated team model and other activities ensure crystal clear transparency of Oxagile's daily work. If you wish to know and control our every step you can even integrate your employee into our team, he/she will be very welcome here!

Security

Throughout its software outsourcing experience Oxagile has worked a lot with security sensitive projects and is well equipped for that: we can provide inter-site VPN, we possess various data backup systems, and internal security is organized at a very high level (office access control system).We ensure that your data are saved and handled correctly.

As far as intellectual property protection is concerned, Oxagile signs non-disclosure agreements with its customers and can disclose their names only with their consent. Intellectual property protection in Belarus is regulated by The Law of the Republic of Belarus on the Protection of Objects of Intellectual Property (#370-XIII of March 16, 1996).

Cost

The last but not least advantage of Oxagile is that we offer reasonably low prices. We provide rational evaluation of costs leaving both you and us financially satisfied. The price may vary depending on the outsourcing model and project complexity.
