Just like you would never hire a pizza chef to plate a five-course dinner, too, you should never select a technology company to handle your mission-critical workloads without specific experience in your area of focus.

To help make the vetting process easier, we would like to suggest five questions to ponder when deciding if the mobile development partner you are considering is right for you.

A good mobile development partner will integrate well with your own development team and will work efficiently with CTOs, CIOs or VPs of Engineering to form a solid foundation.

3. Do you use Agile methodologies?

Insist on hiring an Agile partner so you can benefit from the most viable, efficient, and effective workflow processes.

At iTexico, we use a unique nearshore model, with delivery teams in both Austin, TX, and Guadalajara, Mexico, to ensure alignment in this area.

4. How do you ensure continuous optimization of the mobile product?

The right mobile software development partner will help you get constant optimization of different aspects of your business, using their most qualified engineers. While considering and implementing upgrades to your JS stack, web application and other software tools, the right partner will also ensure that upgrades to your application are in lockstep with the actual needs of your customers.
