One of them is software outsourcing. Aside from being immune to coronavirus, it also lets you optimize costs of running a company, finds best talents across the globe, enhance domain expertise, and learn to cooperate remotely, on a massive scale. How software outsourcing works now when everything is closed down?<\/strong><\/p><p id=\"7c19\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The short answer \u2014 the same as before. The longer answer \u2014 it\u2019s business as usual but with a twist. As SoDA, we observe the trend among our clients. They became more demanding. They require even more efficient communication, even shorter response times, and the same level of code quality as before. Polish software development companies are no strangers to remote work. Specialists handled thousands of projects, with countless logged-in working hours. Companies truly know their craft.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd97641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd97641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Custom software development during the pandemic<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdb8969 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdb8969\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"4b02\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy lo ka kb kc lp ke kf kg lq ki kj kk lr km kn ko ls kq kr ks ir ga\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Under normal circumstances, a lot of projects are developed at least partially remotely. Nothing wrong with that. Developers visit offices when they want to or there\u2019s a situation when a face-to-face meeting is more efficient.\u00a0<strong class=\"jx iz\">Now, when everyone is stuck at home, the nature of work slightly changed. Not that much but some things are worth noticing<\/strong>. What has changed, why and how it impacts your projects?<\/p><p id=\"9a4b\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">Stays the same:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li id=\"4f92\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">Agile &amp; communication<\/strong>.

The lockdown didn\u2019t impact the ability to create software. It didn\u2019t make it more difficult. It slightly changed the ways things are done. A seasoned software development specialist doesn\u2019t magically lose talents after being locked down for a few weeks.

Security measures are already in place. Those who use private computers, also have professional software and passwords. Procedures are in place to protect your projects. Safety mechanisms required by ISO27001 or COBIT are still here.<\/li><li class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">Availability to reach developers and project managers. <\/strong>Funny thing \u2014 now it\u2019s easier to reach developers. When in office, devs could simply hide behind their desks or say they\u2019re busy (and 99% of the time they are). With the constant and prolonged remote work, there is nowhere to hide. Constant communication, even a few times a day, and responsiveness that comes with it are mandatory.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe614ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fe614ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-scaled.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NDQ2MywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3NvZGFwbC5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjBcLzA1XC8xX3RwRjhRZl80Sy1mS3A5Y28yekhKUHctc2NhbGVkLmpwZWcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-1024x683.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4463\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-scaled-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sodapl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1_tpF8Qf_4K-fKp9co2zHJPw-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Some things stay the same despite the turmoil<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3817889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3817889\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"bae2\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">Introduced or suspended during the lockdown:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li id=\"c2d2\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">Travel to meet clients onsite<\/strong>. It\u2019s especially important to new clients. A good practice is to meet a new client in his or her natural environment. Know the nature of the business, feel the space, people, and the workflow. That way the understanding of business challenges comes naturally and it\u2019s easier to establish trust. It\u2019s still possible during online meetings but there are no handshakes.<\/li><li class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">A higher number of online meetings<\/strong>. Many companies design their offices to arrange random corridor meetings. Employee flow is a very important tool for exchanges of company information, ideas, and problem solutions. It\u2019s also a great factor in building company culture. It encourages social and professional relations. Sadly, we are robbed of all that. That\u2019s why SoDA members transformed their organizations and developed ways of building culture online. Language lessons and gymnastics with a professional trainer are done this way, project management too. Companies use apps like Zoom to hold multiple meetings a day, scheduled, and spontaneous. Developers and managers are in constant contact. Nothing is slipping.<\/li><li class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy jz ka kb kc kd ke kf kg kh ki kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks ir ga\"><strong class=\"jx iz\">The creation of ad-hoc solutions<\/strong>.

Nowadays every company is a technology company. The software enables leaders to transform organizations. Make them more operational and competitive. On many occasions, it goes way beyond a simple digitalization of files and migrating them to the cloud. A true digital transformation covers every aspect of doing business \u2014 from document creation to the development of new products. Among others, digital transformation gives you information \u2014 on maintenance, performance, and costs. Even if your offices are closed today and your business is on hold, it\u2019s worth preparing for the future.

That brings us to the last point. There are areas that should wait for your offices to open but some products can be made and introduced to the market entirely remotely. Members of SoDA are ready to develop an entirely new solution from scratch. Our take is that you shouldn\u2019t hesitate to put on a market something new. The uncertainty should not be a factor. Yes, coronavirus creates chaos for new product launches in many industries. It causes problems from manufacturing, through supply chain management, to promotion and marketing. When the chaos is over, you will be left with no product or an organizational inefficacy. That\u2019s why software development is an answer \u2014 after the coronavirus is gone, you will start at least a hundred meters ahead of the competition. Sometimes that\u2019s all you need to win the race.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6be865 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d6be865\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summary<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e75135 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e75135\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"6dcd\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph jv jw iy jx b jy lo ka kb kc lp ke kf kg lq ki kj kk lr km kn ko ls kq kr ks ir ga\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">COVID-19 changed a lot around us, but software development runs smoothly.
