Choosing a software company: what should you look for?
Compare development partners on how they work with you and the results over your product’s lifetime. These five questions help you look beyond an hourly rate.
- Does the team understand your product? Ask how user needs and business goals are translated into priorities.
- Who will work with your people? Discuss day-to-day communication, decisions and access to specialists.
- How is quality demonstrated? Ask about demonstrations, testing, code reviews and acceptance criteria, including for AI-generated code.
- What will it cost over time? Include development, hosting, licences, maintenance and changes.
- Can you continue independently later? Agree on source code, documentation, access and handover.
Experience you can explore

Consider the total cost of your software
The lowest hourly rate does not automatically lead to the lowest overall cost. Total Cost of Ownership also includes design, infrastructure, licences, maintenance, ongoing development and a potential change of supplier.
We discuss both the initial investment and the choices that affect costs afterwards. Reusable components and AI agents can reduce development work. Appropriate architecture, testing and transferable knowledge help keep future development manageable.
Discuss these points before you start
- What scope and quality are included in the price?
- How are changes and additional work agreed?
- Who is responsible for operations and releases?
- What licences and technical dependencies will arise?
- How are source code, documentation and knowledge transfer handled?
People and AI agents, with clear responsibility
Producing code faster is valuable when you are building the right software. Our experts connect product management, UX and engineering, and assess the work of AI agents against your application’s requirements.
The approach fits your organisation: as an additional team, for a defined project or as a product development partner. We agree who sets priorities, who makes decisions and how your team retains the knowledge.
Our AI and machine learning experience predates ChatGPT, including work for ComplianceWise, AirportCreators and Sensire. That experience helps us tailor the use of AI to your application.
Questions about choosing a software company
What is the difference between a software company and an IT company?
A software company focuses on designing, building and improving software. An IT company may also manage workplaces, hardware or networks. The terms overlap, so look at the actual expertise, portfolio and people who will work on your product. GlobalOrange focuses on digital product development.
How do you work with our internal team?
We align the team structure with your roadmap and available expertise. Our people can strengthen your team or deliver a temporary project. Together, we agree on priorities, responsibilities, communication and knowledge transfer. You do not need to replace your own team to work with us.
Does the size of a software company matter?
Size alone tells you little about suitability. More important are the availability of the right people, experience with similar projects, continuity and the ability to adjust capacity. Ask who your regular contact will be and how knowledge is shared.
Can you build on existing software?
Yes. We first assess the existing code, architecture, user experience and ways of working. We then agree on a focused improvement, extension or modernisation. Rebuilding everything is not automatically the best route.
How soon can you start?
That depends on the scope, expertise required and available capacity. During the introductory meeting, we discuss a suitable first step and a realistic schedule. Product Discovery can help if the starting points are not yet clear enough.
