Why Us? - For Software Modernization and Outsourcing Services
What makes us so different from other Software Transformation/Modernization and Outsourcing/Offshoring companies?
About Vendor Lock-in
Other vendors:
"Our software development approach keeps you independent from any supplier, programming language, database or infrastructural elements."
Javra Software:
"That simply is not possible because to develop software at all, you have to make choices. We choose to use only well accepted main stream technology. We invest in that and we innovate with that same technology. We use Microsoft, Progress and open source technology."
About Cost
Other Vendors:
"We don't think that the cost of developing and managing software is that important anymore, it's mainly about quality these days."
Javra Software:
"Developing good quality software is simply a prerequisite. It's a fact. If you don't make good quality software, you are out of business. However, as a software producer, being able to make good quality software at a fair price is a new must have to stay in this competitive business. Important for you and us. So, don't be fooled. Cost is important. "
e.g. Can you imagine paying the same amount of money for your television set as you did 15 years ago ? Exactly. They are much cheaper now; indeed, they offshored the production process.
About Quality
Other Vendors:
"Good quality software is important."
Javra Software:
"We totally agree and like to add that for our clients only the best quality software is good enough."

About our clients
Other Vendors:
"We serve small companies, big companies, anywhere in the world. Any branch, any size. So, we can also help you."
Javra Software:
"Ofcourse we would like to be able to help everyone. But that's impossible, even for the largest companies in the world. And do you always want to do business with very large companies who only have very large clients?
Sometimes it is even better to not help you ourselves but to redirect you to one of our partners. Depending on your needs, company culture and size, we jointly discuss if we can make IT work for you. We mainly serve SME and SME+ companies, both software companies as well as end-user companies. Our clients want to see quick results and do not have large budgets to experiment with. They want pragmatic solutions that empower their businesses and their employees. Simply, that is what we deliver."
About Offshoring to India and Nepal
Other Vendors:
"There is a large(r) time difference. They have a different culture. They speak funny English. They don't deliver high quality IT"
Javra Software:
"Yes, there is time difference. And because of that we are able to continue to develop or test while you sleep.
Yes, they have a different culture. They have strong family bonds and are very service oriented.
Yes, many Indian or Nepali people speak English with an accent like we do when we speak English. You get used to it very quickly and moreover some of our staff have lived in the US for more than 15 years. They speak and write English (and Hindi) fluently.
They deliver the best quality IT; it's not a coincidence that many Dutch, EU and US IT professionals go to India and Nepal for enhanced IT training. It's better and cost efficient."
"About 500 Indian companies comply with some form of quality certification (ISO, CMM or Six Sigma). Of these 85 companies certified at CEI CMM-5 level, the highest number in any country in the world. More than 300 of Global Fortune 500 companies use Indian software." (Source: EVD)
