How To Make the Most of In-House Software Development
Summary
You must hire skilled developers — no easy feat in today’s economy, where talented programmers remain in short supply — and then manage them on an ongoing basis. On the contrary, information technology organizations that invest in in-house development for some or all the work can realize lower overall costs and a competitive advantage by creating domain-specific expertise. Three times a month, we hold a technical brown bag lunch, where we cover issues like development for cloud and how it differs from on-premises due to costs, or how to design for performance and scalability. Our QA engineers complement our in-house developers by helping them deliver the highest-quality product while also strategizing over how best to handle scale and efficiency challenges. The more IT organizations and enterprises can upskill their existing developers and give them the right tools and processes to succeed, the better they can leverage their teams to build products and features that bring value to the business.
