The Problem We Solve
In a global market awash with great – and not-so-great – software development firms, finding the right one may seem impossible. There are thousands of confusing options, risky unknowns and tepid qualifications to sort through, as well as hundreds of hours of evaluation. Indeed, some software companies operate with no hiring or training standards, no oversight or support, no guaranteed retention or continuity, no insurance and no easy way to scale or organize.
Don’t gamble with your software development. Trust Rapid Referral® to quickly cut through the clutter to guarantee a top-quality development firm.
When it came time to build a [customized software] prototype, we found ourselves lacking the necessary coding expertise. We hired an outsourced software developer on our own, but it turned out to be a nightmare in addition to costing us a significant amount of time, energy and resources. We needed help finding a quality developer at an affordable price, so we contacted Accelerance. They responded right away to our inquiry, quickly presented us with three qualified companies and, from start to finish, it took about a month to engage with a firm in Belarus. They were a perfect fit based upon our list of criteria, and we’ve been very happy with their work.
