What Should You Look Out For?
Many project managers looking for a software development company will simply jump straight onto the first company they find. Many do not even consider teams outside of their country, which could be a costly mistake. Many Eastern European countries such as Poland have the excellent success rates in terms of completing projects in a cost effective and efficient method. Below are some factors that you should consider when searching for the best software development company.
Why Poland
Why to outsource software development to Poland

Previous Work
Many software development companies will market themselves as the best but have very little to show in terms of previous work. When searching, look for outsourced client stories, reviews and other portfolio related website content.
A display of previous work also builds trust that this company will actually produce a high quality piece of software. The cheapest option is not always the best and searching around for previous work and happy clients is worthwhile.
Large Team of Developers
The main reason for outsourcing your software project is to get it done professionally and efficiently. If you outsource development to a freelancer, they are more likely to specialist in a certain programming language and be rushing it themselves to meet a target.
Look into the software development companies websites such as the “about page” or “team” to see who is actually a developer in the company. A strong team of skilled developers is critical in order to ensure your project is completed to high standards.
Technical Ability
It is pointless asking a software company to code a frontend project involving large quantities of Node.js, JavaScript and JQuery when they are specialists in backend technologies such as SQL and PHP.
Larger team will be able to pass work around to certain areas of the team within an Agile Development life cycle. Always ask whether they are able to carry out the work you require and ask for examples of such work.

Communication
Being able to talk to the project manager of the software development outsourcing company is key. Even if this is simply discussing your project, if you are not getting fast replies, this should be a warning that communication is poor. A client and developer relationship should be clear, easy and the client must be updated regularly. However, at the same time you do not want to be harassed with calls or emails. It is best to arrange a schedule that will fit in with your daily routine.
