how to find suitable freelancers

In recent years, enterprises will outsource software development have become a trend. However, according to my observation, most people are still stuck in IT for outsourcing services in the end it can bring benefits to businesses on the threshold, once broke through the threshold, the follow-up How to choose a good IT outsourcing vendors as soon as To another question to be considered. Relative to the hardware, outsourcing is easier to develop SLA (Service-Level Agreement, Service Level Agreement), software development outsourcing may be more likely to CIO confused. At present, our company has worked with IT outsourcing vendors, most of them large software companies, such as Microsoft, IBM and so on. For these service providers, in theory, CIO need not worry ? “A lot of large enterprise projects, they are able to eat down, let alone our outsourcing projects do.” This reasoning appears to be very reasonable, but according to my experience, just in such circumstances, and small-scale outsourcing projects will exist the potential risks. First of all, because these IT companies whose major clients are large enterprises, so once their main customers are temporary or emergency needs of the business point of view, they focus on human resources support deployment of the main customers, is another perfectly reasonable things. Furthermore, the development of software products and development of IT applications within the enterprise there is a big difference between the points, that is, changes in the functional requirements. In general, the enterprise application systems to changes in demand is to promote the project process, the most prone to problems one of the links. Those accustomed to a relatively stable demand for IT and large manufacturers in the face of these changes, do we have enough flexibility to meet these requirements within the enterprise changes, appears to be very crucial. Finally, CIO and your team, whether the overall level of the current large-scale IT vendors to achieve a high degree of impact of the project is also a key factor in the success or failure. A well-written requirements documents will still allow the process of cooperation we can make point of contention appears to a minimum.What is “good writing”? This standard is difficult to define. In this regard, I know some of the CIO practice of their own went to CMMI, by way of certification to ensure that the quality of internal staff, so that both A and B docking in the future, the problem may be able to for a less eventful. I personally prefer the practice is the first operation in accordance with the norms within the enterprise, freelancer and also be able to be my auditor in order to help me find the need to enhance the capacity of the team points. In this context, I would like to observe these large technology companies who are able to engage our “play.” Only when both parties match each other, the project can proceed smoothly. So, in the end the choice of what kind of CIO outsourcing service providers do? I summed up the experience of some judge points: 1. To examine the comprehensive strength of outsourcing service providers to see in addition to its outsourcing services to meet your requirements, whether it can bring to enterprises in other areas of the extra points, such as industry knowledge or experience in IT systems architecture. I always thought that A and B can exist between the two sides learn from each other the relationship. 2. CIO to examine freelancer project management capabilities, study focused on: freelancer integrity of the methodology used; whether the project has experienced a large number of tests; whether the use of digital management tools; whether there is a clear KPI; whether it has achieved world-class certification, such as CMMI and so on. This part of the investigation, and some doubts about the CIO is inevitable ? “Even if these tools have a freelancer, and if there is no guarantee the project’s successful conclusion. Similar to the CMMI certification, who is heard in the country seems to really make life difficult, after all, through the certification of training institutions who is also a post-commercialization services. “For this question, my reply has always been” never before had a better than good, after all, is more of a guarantee. ” 3. CIO to examine whether the freelancer has achieved world-class IT technology and related business qualification recognition. If your software development project is the product of these IT giants closely linked, such as the Oracle software customization original project, this is a very essential point of the assessment. 4. Freelancer follow-up study of protective services, including the size of firms, its commitment to sustainable management and service level of the system specification. Generally speaking, if the freelancer is too small, you may one day suddenly disappeared, CIO re looking for freelancer, as well as pilot projects, it will certainly be a very enjoyable process, not to mention the maintenance of the project before the work may never be protection. 5. CIO study freelancer in the quotation, there must be total cost (Total cost) concept, the overall cost of the project, follow-up maintenance personnel costs, the availability of technology and value-added service industries and other “packaged” together, undertake a comprehensive assessment. Outsourcing was originally developed, we negotiate with the service, more consideration is the price per person per day. Has worked with several service providers in, I found that if from the perspective of the overall development costs, in fact, outsourcing service providers is not much difference between the price, those with low unit price of the project cycle may be longer, or not as good as the quality of projects a high unit price vendors. In accordance with my experience, CIO of outsourcing service partners more understanding, the more difficult to cultivate understanding, cooperation in the project the more likely reflects the elasticity. Of course, if the outsourcing service provider with corporate culture tell us closer, is the best, however, because no matter what Party B promise you the boss, the real group of people to work, or below.
