Benefits of Outsourced vs. In-House Development
Software quality increase
By outsourcing to IT professionals experienced in your target industry, you gain easy access to their expertise and best practices, ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality software.
Reduced costs
Outsourcing an entire team of experts from a reliable vendor is significantly cheaper than hiring, onboarding, and training your in-house developers.
High scalability
You can quickly upscale and downscale an outsourced development team to meet your specific project needs and only pay for the resources you truly need.
The practice that powers most businesses
According to Deloitte, 70% of companies outsource software development for cost reduction.

To help our customers choose the most optimal outsourcing model, we assess their current in-house team composition and key project priorities
For example, a lack of expertise in a particular field can be compensated by outsourcing a part of a large project to our dedicated team. If you need just a few specific talents, we can augment your team with our top-flight experts.
We recommend full software engineering outsourcing when the customer has little or no experience in similar projects and wants high-quality software delivered as soon as possible. It’s also a go-to option for those who are overloaded with other development projects in the pipeline.

How to Outsource Software Development Safely and Efficiently?
Test a vendor’s expertise in practice
You can launch a small pilot project or request a proof of concept (PoC) to get an objective understanding of a vendor’s competencies.
Control outcomes
Sign a service level agreement (SLA) with a vendor that outlines expected timelines, deliverables, quality requirements, and responsibilities for project-related risks.
Decide on a KPI system to monitor the project’s health without being over-involved in the process.
Establish a communication structure
Decide on the resources that will be involved in the project on your side and establish clear communication flows with the vendor’s team for each aspect of the project.
Ensure security of outsourcing
Sign an NDA with a vendor to guarantee the confidentiality of your business-sensitive information and intellectual property rights over the project deliverables.
Check that a vendor has relevant security measures in place to protect your data (such as IDS/IPS, DLP, SIEM, and others).
Note: Being ISO 27001-certified, we ensure the security of the data entrusted to us by our customers.
Software Development Process with ScienceSoft
We can take over all or a part of software development processes in a chosen project or cater for every project within an IT project pipeline. With our outsourcing services, you start using internal resources more efficiently and access world-class technologies without hiring and training new employees. You can learn more about our development approaches and common project stages here.
The Stages of Our Outsourcing Service
Can you cover end-to-end software delivery?
Absolutely: this is our core service. We’ve built a strong team of 700+ IT professionals – consultants, architects, developers, data scientists, security, DevOps, and QA engineers – to take charge of everything from requirements elicitation and software design to coding, deployment, and support.
Can I get it done really fast?
Yes, depending on the project size, we might be able to get your MVP delivered in 2 weeks – 4 months. Subsequently, we can ensure releases of new functionality every 2–6 weeks. Get in touch, and we’ll work out a way to meet your needs.
Software development costs for a medium/large application may range from $50K to $1M. The total amount mainly depends on the number and complexity of software features, the number of platforms supported (web, mobile, desktop), and the type of development (custom, low-code, or platform-based). The UI design uniqueness and complexity, the number of integrations with other software systems, as well as availability, security, and performance requirements also play an important part.
You can request free project cost calculation from ScienceSoft or find more details about software development costs in our recent guide.
What’s your post-launch policy?
During the first 1–3 months after the software launch, our team:
- Answers your and users’ questions, resolves user issues (if any).
- Manages incidents, configuration changes, and updates.
When the warranty support is over, upon agreement, we’re ready to offer continuous maintenance and evolution of your software, as well as L1-L3 support (if required). We know how to nurture long-term partnerships and keep our customers happy in the long run: 62% of our revenue is coming from customers we serve for more than 2 years.
What is your preferred development methodology?
For most of our software engineering projects, we use Scrum with 2–3 week iterations. For small and midsize projects with clearly defined and unchanging requirements, projects requiring formal approvals (governmental projects and projects for big corporations), and projects with strict compliance requirements, we can opt for Waterfall. In software support and evolution projects, we mostly follow Kanban. Naturally, in many projects, it makes sense to use a combination of approaches or switch from one to another depending on the project stage. In our practice, the most common scenarios are ‘Waterfall -> Scrum’, ‘Scrum -> Kanban -> Scrum.’
How do you control the quality of the software you deliver?
We take a shift-left approach to QA, follow international coding standards, and maintain a quality management system at the level required by ISO 9001.
