Choosing a software company in Karachi: 10 questions to ask

Before hiring a software company in Karachi, ask to see live work, who will actually build your system, how you'll approve screens, who owns the code and data, how support works after launch, and how the price is broken down. Vague answers to any of these are a warning sign.

Choosing a software company in Karachi: 10 questions to ask

Karachi has hundreds of software houses, from one-person shops to large teams. These questions separate the ones who will still answer your call a year from now.

The ten questions

  • Can I see live systems and websites you've built, not screenshots?
  • Who exactly will build my system, and will they be there after launch?
  • Will I see and approve the screens before development starts?
  • How often will I see working software during the project?
  • Who owns the code, the domain and my data?
  • Where will it be hosted, and who pays for it?
  • What happens when something breaks on a Friday night?
  • Which parts of the price are one-time and which repeat?
  • How do you move my existing data from Excel?
  • Can I speak to one of your current clients?

Answers that should worry you

  • 'We'll show you when it's finished.'
  • 'The code stays with us.'
  • A price with no breakdown.
  • No live work you can open yourself.
