How does time-zone difference work with an India-based team?
Netofficials agrees the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you before work begins, so the time difference is planned for rather than discovered mid-project. We deliver remotely from India and have no Australian office or local staff. Day-to-day, you speak directly to the technical lead, and sprint reviews are scheduled at times that suit your team. Send a short brief with your working hours and we will propose a rhythm.
What drives the cost and timeline of a project?
Cost and timeline are driven by scope, existing systems, integrations and the mix of skills the work needs, such as front-end, back-end, mobile, QA and DevOps. We do not quote a price before understanding these. After reviewing your brief we put the scope, assumptions, sprint milestones and commercial terms in writing for your approval before delivery begins. Work outside that scope goes through a change request, so you see the impact before agreeing to it.
Who owns the code, and can you work alongside our team?
You own the source code and IP: Netofficials assigns IP in the contract, and documentation and deployment access are handed over at release. We can run a fixed-scope project, a dedicated team, or place engineers inside your existing tools and process. If another model suits you better after scoping, we will recommend it. Tell us about your current team in your brief and we will suggest a fit.
