Does working with a team in India work for a London business?
Yes, as long as the working hours and communication are agreed up front, and Netofficials sets them up that way. Delivery is remote from India: we have no London office and no local staff. Before work begins, we agree the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you, and you speak directly to the technical lead. If your project would be better served by a local agency or an in-house hire, we will say so after scoping.
How are cost and timing set for a London project?
Cost and timing are set in writing before the build starts, based on what the work involves. The main drivers are the scope of the product, the existing systems and integrations it must connect to, and the team skills required across front-end, back-end, mobile, QA and DevOps. We agree scope, assumptions, review milestones and commercial terms first, and anything outside that scope goes through a change request. Send a short brief and we will reply with questions and a proposed scope.
Who owns the code, and who will I speak to?
You own the source code: IP is assigned to you under the contract and transferred in full on completion. Day to day, you speak directly to the technical lead, the senior engineer who scoped your project and leads the build, with no account manager between you. At release we hand over documentation and deployment access, so your team or another supplier can take the product forward.
