Proper evaluation and selection of offshore vendors are vital for your business’s success in overseas software outsourcing. Therefore, it is crucial to select the right offshore partner to complete the work to your standards and have a compatible working culture and high ethics.
Here are a few qualities that you should look for in software development companies:
An excellent way to determine whether a vendor is a good fit is to research and list all potential partners who can provide the required services and send out the RPP (Request for Proposal). By sending out the RFP, you can check and ensure that the vendor can fulfill your requirements and expectations. Also, talk to your business contacts, colleagues, and friends to see whether they have any recommendations.
Communication between you and your offshore vendor is of utmost importance. Request a call or meeting to help you get a better idea of their communication style and look for a good fit. Good communication improves quality. You can use tools like Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, Zoom, Skype, etc. Tools make it easier for your team to work more efficiently.
It is a good idea to check the software company’s reference portfolio and get in touch with the client they have worked with when you need reassurance about quality. It is recommended to call the reference customers to get their feedback.
References are helpful, but remember to read their case studies and do your research. Look through their past case studies and achievements to determine whether they are experienced in similar projects or are experts in specific technologies you need for your project.
Always be cautious about software development outsourcing companies that offer “cheap” costs or “rock-bottom” rates. You should never sacrifice quality for price when outsourcing software development. Instead, inquire about the company’s expertise in specific technologies, what they can deliver, and where they have had success in the past.
An offshore vendor should have secure servers to protect sensitive information. Make sure to check how software development companies protect your data. Usually, an offshore vendor has strict security policies to keep clients’ sensitive data confidential.
Vendors should be accredited and certified with industry standards. Verifying a software outsourcing company’s accreditation and certification is an integral part of the vetting process to ensure quality standards, security, and confidentiality. Looking for certifications like AWS certificated, Google Cloud Certification etc.
Before starting software development, make sure the vendor has professional liability insurance. This is because professional liability insurance can help protect your business from any potential damages from mistakes or faults.
A significant risk for system development outsourcing is that the project might not come to fruition due to external issues, such as pandemics, natural disasters, or simply the third party going bankrupt. Therefore, your outsourcing vendor must have a business continuity and risk mitigation plan to help recover from any issues.
Although there are many other aspects to consider when selecting a software vendor, do not neglect the technology aspect. For example, your offshore vendor must support all of the programming languages you need for your software development projects. Also, it is essential to find out if their software development process aligns with yours. Agile software development is preferred by most companies these days.

1. M-pesa has been a life changing innovation for the remittance world. It has eliminated the need for bank accounts, bank charges and the inconvenience of depending on a public transport driver to deliver money to the village. The most significant thing about M-pesa to me is the fact that it is a reminder that you have to know your environment very well in order to create lasting and useful solutions to the existing problems.
2. SEACOM is one of the leading undersea cable companies. They have created a great opportunity to boost Internet connectivity on the continent. Like M-pesa, Seacom has provided access to areas that were previously unreachable. In 2012, the United Nations deemed Internet access a basic right. I have no doubt that access to information will improve the lives of many individuals; I also hope that there will be more positive outcomes than bad ones produced by the wide access to internet.
3. GSMA mHealth has brought the mobile and health care industries together by bringing solutions to long-term health problems. Patients are able to access basic health information through their mobile phones. The main advantage in this technology is that it allows access to people in rural areas where people have been typically neglected.
4. JoziHub Kenya is one of the leading technology innovators, however this noted hub is in Johannesburg, South Africa. The JoziHub incubator helps kick start and accelerate innovation in the tech and social spheres. These locally based hubs are particularly exceptional because they have the ability to adapt to the local needs. Many technologies and innovations have failed because they were a great idea in one environment and not the other i.e. there was a lack of external validity in these innovations.
5. One upcoming innovation that will be interesting to follow is the CardioPad. The tablet is expected to reduce the rate of cardiovascular-disease mortality in countries with a shortage of cardiologists by using a cardio-pad medical tablet to perform cardiac examinations and permit remote readings. The founder of CardioPad has been nominated for a Rolex Award for enterprises.
These are only 5 of many technologies that are making or expected to make a difference on the development sphere. My hope is that some of you will find one or two of these intriguing and then be encouraged to share other innovations from different parts of the world that you consider revolutionary. I am particularly interested in South-South development trends, because in my opinion these have greater external validity to the African continent.

Briter Bridges defines tech hubs as “physical spaces designed to foster and support tech start-ups.” These include innovation centers such as incubators, accelerators, marketplaces, fab labs, and co-working spaces, and hackerspaces.
According to Dario Giuliani, the founder of Briter Bridges, tech hubs across African cities play a catalyst role that surpasses supporting startups. While some offer only co-working facilities, Dario says that most hubs are safe havens for young people looking for training centers that promote digital literacy.
Over the past few years, technology ecosystems in Africa have experienced tremendous growth. Increased corporate involvement and venture funds are some of the factors that are driving growth. The ever-growing, innovative communities in the continent have also been driving the current growth of African tech hubs.
Furthermore, most technology hubs in Africa are offering communities with the infrastructure to support and promote home-grown innovations. These hubs provide training, access to fast internet, and technical supports to startups. Also, they are offering social and professional networking through which tech entrepreneurs can thrive.
![\"African-tech-hub-statistics.webp\"](\"https://kraxenwebsite.s3.amazonaws.com/African_tech_hub_statistics_dee0215b6f.webp\")
Nigeria has the highest number of tech hubs (85) followed by South Africa, which boasts of 80 hubs. These two nations are the most advanced technology ecosystems in Africa. Their hubs offer investment networks and well-established collaborations. Lagos, which is the top African tech hub, has more than 40 tech hubs. Kenya comes third with nearly 50 tech hubs that make it the heart of the tech ecosystem in East Africa.
New corporates and investors continue to flock to Nairobi to seize the growing tech opportunities in the country. However, Egypt is quickly emerging as a technology focal point in northeastern Africa. Besides Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco are fueling entrepreneurship in North Africa. Several francophone countries in West Africa like Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire are registering sprouts of tech ecosystems.
As tech hubs in Africa evolve, different players need to identify and understand ways to enhance the effectiveness of these hubs and extend their longevity. Investors should conduct thorough feasibility assessments before launching tech hubs to determine their core purpose. The needs of key stakeholders including entrepreneurs and investors should be considered to guarantee the success of every African tech hub.
Also, common challenges such as financial sustainability could be easily handled when tech hubs share ideas, failures, and best practices. Hopefully, the rising tech hubs in Africa will be able to bridge Africa’s technological gap in no distant time. Have you been part of any tech hub in the past?

I envision technology being deeply implemented in government procedures such that efficiency is increased ten fold and corruption is greatly. Of course, technology isn’t the answer to all problems, but it has the capability to solve a few if not most. How might these visions be accomplished you might ask?

Briter Bridges defines tech hubs as “physical spaces designed to foster and support tech start-ups.” These include innovation centers such as incubators, accelerators, marketplaces, fab labs, and co-working spaces, and hackerspaces.
According to Dario Giuliani, the founder of Briter Bridges, tech hubs across African cities play a catalyst role that surpasses supporting startups. While some offer only co-working facilities, Dario says that most hubs are safe havens for young people looking for training centers that promote digital literacy.
Over the past few years, technology ecosystems in Africa have experienced tremendous growth. Increased corporate involvement and venture funds are some of the factors that are driving growth. The ever-growing, innovative communities in the continent have also been driving the current growth of African tech hubs.
Furthermore, most technology hubs in Africa are offering communities with the infrastructure to support and promote home-grown innovations. These hubs provide training, access to fast internet, and technical supports to startups. Also, they are offering social and professional networking through which tech entrepreneurs can thrive.
Nigeria has the highest number of tech hubs (85) followed by South Africa, which boasts of 80 hubs. These two nations are the most advanced technology ecosystems in Africa. Their hubs offer investment networks and well-established collaborations. Lagos, which is the top African tech hub, has more than 40 tech hubs. Kenya comes third with nearly 50 tech hubs that make it the heart of the tech ecosystem in East Africa.
New corporates and investors continue to flock to Nairobi to seize the growing tech opportunities in the country. However, Egypt is quickly emerging as a technology focal point in northeastern Africa. Besides Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco are fueling entrepreneurship in North Africa. Several francophone countries in West Africa like Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire are registering sprouts of tech ecosystems.
As tech hubs in Africa evolve, different players need to identify and understand ways to enhance the effectiveness of these hubs and extend their longevity. Investors should conduct thorough feasibility assessments before launching tech hubs to determine their core purpose. The needs of key stakeholders including entrepreneurs and investors should be considered to guarantee the success of every African tech hub.
Also, common challenges such as financial sustainability could be easily handled when tech hubs share ideas, failures, and best practices. Hopefully, the rising tech hubs in Africa will be able to bridge Africa’s technological gap in no distant time. Have you been part of any tech hub in the past?

Proper evaluation and selection of offshore vendors are vital for your business’s success in overseas software outsourcing. Therefore, it is crucial to select the right offshore partner to complete the work to your standards and have a compatible working culture and high ethics.
Here are a few qualities that you should look for in software development companies:
An excellent way to determine whether a vendor is a good fit is to research and list all potential partners who can provide the required services and send out the RPP (Request for Proposal). By sending out the RFP, you can check and ensure that the vendor can fulfill your requirements and expectations. Also, talk to your business contacts, colleagues, and friends to see whether they have any recommendations.
Communication between you and your offshore vendor is of utmost importance. Request a call or meeting to help you get a better idea of their communication style and look for a good fit. Good communication improves quality. You can use tools like Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, Zoom, Skype, etc. Tools make it easier for your team to work more efficiently.
It is a good idea to check the software company’s reference portfolio and get in touch with the client they have worked with when you need reassurance about quality. It is recommended to call the reference customers to get their feedback.
References are helpful, but remember to read their case studies and do your research. Look through their past case studies and achievements to determine whether they are experienced in similar projects or are experts in specific technologies you need for your project.
Always be cautious about software development outsourcing companies that offer “cheap” costs or “rock-bottom” rates. You should never sacrifice quality for price when outsourcing software development. Instead, inquire about the company’s expertise in specific technologies, what they can deliver, and where they have had success in the past.
An offshore vendor should have secure servers to protect sensitive information. Make sure to check how software development companies protect your data. Usually, an offshore vendor has strict security policies to keep clients’ sensitive data confidential.
Vendors should be accredited and certified with industry standards. Verifying a software outsourcing company’s accreditation and certification is an integral part of the vetting process to ensure quality standards, security, and confidentiality. Looking for certifications like AWS certificated, Google Cloud Certification etc.
Before starting software development, make sure the vendor has professional liability insurance. This is because professional liability insurance can help protect your business from any potential damages from mistakes or faults.
A significant risk for system development outsourcing is that the project might not come to fruition due to external issues, such as pandemics, natural disasters, or simply the third party going bankrupt. Therefore, your outsourcing vendor must have a business continuity and risk mitigation plan to help recover from any issues.
Although there are many other aspects to consider when selecting a software vendor, do not neglect the technology aspect. For example, your offshore vendor must support all of the programming languages you need for your software development projects. Also, it is essential to find out if their software development process aligns with yours. Agile software development is preferred by most companies these days.

Utilizing a cross-platform mobile development approach empowers you to construct an application and send over different platforms, including the web. This implies that by building a single application, one can target both – iOS and Android platforms, hence, expanding their range.
Reduced Development Cost
The cross-platform application development depends on an idea ‘compose once, run all over the place’. Reusable codes and agile application development through tools can reduce the expense of development. In this manner, to improve your business on numerous platforms and tools in a practical manner, there could be no other choice to cross-platform applications.
Easier Maintenance & Deployment
Since there’s just one developed application that runs over all platforms, it is simpler to keep up and also send code or changes made. Updates can speedily be synced over all platforms and gadgets, consequently saving time and money. Besides, if a bug is found in the regular codebase, it ought to be fixed once. Along these lines, developers can save a great deal on time and money.
Quicker Development Process
The speedy development process is another mutually advantageous situation with regards to creating cross-platform applications. Single source code for multiple platforms can help diminish the development efforts by 50 to 80%. It assists you with getting a feature rich business application in less time. The group of developers can fulfill the expected deadlines in cross-platforms application development.
Reusable Code
Another beneficial thing about this platform is that the code can be utilized over and over. Rather than developers creating new codes for each platform, a single code can be reused. This saves time and resources since it disposes of repetition in the errand of making codes.
Easy Integration with Cloud
Cross-platform mobile applications are absolutely compatible and can exploit different plugins incorporated with the cloud settings. In other words, the single source code is composed with different plugins and extensions to improve the application’s scalability and usefulness.
