FAQs
Why should a company rely on an outside agency for prototyping?
Most small and mid-size companies are always strained for resources. Prototyping for developing new products is an activity that needs a lot of those, besides the infrastructure in terms of software and hardware, machines, etc. This adds to the burden on the manpower and impacts the ongoing projects as well as new product development. Outsourcing of prototyping services to professional agencies gives a better control of the process as it simply has to monitor the progress and approve the developments at every stage, making the necessary changes and modifications at every iteration. The company also benefits from better resources as professional agencies work on the latest facilities available in the market.
Will this not be a time consuming affair and cause delays in the timelines?
The results with outsourcing come out much faster as it actually speeds up the process since you are dealing with professionals with adequate infrastructure and dedicated manpower to complete the task. They are also experts in the business and have a lot of experience with working on prototyping services for various other customers. The client actually benefits from their experience not only in terms of a faster turnover but also through ideas, insights and suggestions born out of this experience. It is like having additional manpower, than what the company would normally have, while attempting to do everything in-house. All this efficiency would translate into the fact that the products can come into the market much faster.
What about the cost to the company? Will this not be an expensive proposition?
If a company has to invest in a similar set up like the professional agencies, there will be a lot of investment to make for the infrastructure as well as the manpower without having that much development work in the new products all the time. On the other hand, outsourcing allows you to pay only for the services used and get access to all the skills and expertise without all that costly investment. The overall advantages of outsourcing have been well documented today where this has become a trend of lean manufacturing with companies concentrating only on their core competencies and reaping the benefits in the process.
