#1 Activities are delegated to each specialist

Subcontracting in the development of mobile applications implies that the company will no longer have to take direct charge of managing the project, so you can use that time to manage the business strategy or execute marketing activities, in a nutshell, each specialist will do the work that has been assigned to him.

#2 You will not need to worry about the ideal team

Finding a good team that develops software or mobile applications in a coordinated way is difficult, especially since many of the skills required in this industry are difficult to find, subcontracting avoids using the company's time in finding talented people for this task.

Companies that develop software or mobile applications have already had time to find the ideal team, and are constantly doing this work.

#3 Reducing Costs

One of the most well-known advantages is that outsourcing reduces the cost of developing mobile applications, this is because of all the expenses that in-house development has, no longer exist in this modality, you pay for a product that will be delivered on a date and to some extent, the cost of hiring employees is not reflected directly or would not have to pay for many of them.

Also, outsourcing is usually done in countries where it is cheaper to develop mobile applications, and sometimes it is easy to find talented teams that deliver a good product at a reasonable price.

Disadvantages

#1 Lack of quality control and safety

Subcontracting implies that, in many cases, the quality of work of the employees who develop the project is not known, nor if they implement good security practices when writing of code.

When you have worked previously with this development company, it is easy to know if they do a good job or not, but companies often must try several services until finding the one indicated.

This is because companies that offer development services sometimes work at high speed to be able to work on more projects and to get more profit, the problem is when this leads to loss of quality.

#2 Lack of understanding of requirements

Usually, outsourcing involves hiring a team that is located in another city, so communication can sometimes be so difficult issues such as the project managers do not understand the requirements of the application or the business very well.

This occurs because they can very easily deliver a product not only of poor quality but also one that requires corrections or has functionalities that do not work as the customer expected.

#3 Incorporating new changes can be complicated and costly

When the client requires to add new functionalities to the mobile application, it is more expensive and difficult to request new changes, not in all cases, but this is something that happens in most software projects since a bad code or a bad organization can complicate delivery times.

All new adjustments made to the application will require more hours of work, so this can make the initial estimated costs of the project different from the final delivery.
