Q & A

What does .D do?
.D develops
mobile Apps providing an end to end
solution for the customer. This is achieved by using highly skilled
programmers from Vietnam. We wrote a piece on Medium on Vietnam’s IT growth.
What is the best
way to engage with .D for my
requirement?
The starting point is our basic Contact
Form in the Contact section, which covers the
main
items we need to scope a project. Or just mail or call any of the
numbers on the home page
What process do you
go through once you have collected the questionnaire
information?
We discuss it in the team and formulate a plan
to deliver the solution for the customer. We then present that to
the customer. We always meet the customer in person if possible and
run through a written app specification document that includes the
milestones, and maps out the major stages of the project, the
regular customer meetings and make sure we are all clear on what is
going to happen, when it is going to happen and what’s going to be
delivered.
Where is your
office?
We work from London Canary Wharf and Cambodia.
Where can we meet
.D?
We are always keen to meet customers! London is
best fit for us but easy enough to meet anywhere in Europe or South
east Asia.
What availability
can you provide?
We will schedule time to work on a project once
it is scoped. The commercials dictate how quickly we can ramp up,
how many developers and ultimately the deadline that can be
achieved.
What Platforms do
you support?
Android and iOS.
What size project
can .D take on?
Small to mid-sized projects. Larger might need
multiple teams.
How many developers
do you have?
We have a core team of half a dozen but we have
multiples of this available from a pre-vetted pool - so we can scale
up easier than most companies.
How do you go about
recruiting remote workers?
Our teams all work from home so we interview all
candidates in person before hiring and have regular monthly meet-ups
in Saigon or Cambodia. We will not hire anyone unless they have a
bachelor in Computer Science or equivalent from universities
sanctioned by Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training.
How do you manage
remote workers on a daily basis?
We have been doing this for a long time and are
well practiced in managing remote teams. We use specific SAAS tools
and are constantly in touch via Skype or Telegram during work hours
- everything else is just good communication and organization -
built on experience. We wrote a piece on Medium on this.
How can the client
monitor the project?
We produce detailed weekly reports on time and
progress for the client. We also build every day so the client can
install and test the project app on their devices. We use strict
version control and GitHub or Bitbucket.
What do I do once
you have authored the App?
We can hand over code or we can provide a
managed service. It is usual to undergo some User Acceptance and
Load testing which we can provide.
How do you deploy a
project?
We can deploy into the distribution framework
you require whether that’s Google Play, Apple Store, Azure, AWS,
etc. and manage the distribution with reporting and updates.
How long does it
take to develop a mobile App?
When we scope the project we will give a firm
estimation on the time needed. When a project needs to be expedited
we can increase the resource. We only work to timescales agreed with
the customer in advance.
We have an existing
App and it need features added - can you do it?
Yes, and it very much depends on the
availability of the source code and what frameworks and libraries
were used to write it.
We have an existing
App built in Ionic Framework?
Yes, and it very much depends on the
availability of the source code and what frameworks and libraries
were used to write it.
We have an existing
App built using Xamarin?
Yes and it very much depends on the availability
of the source code and it is likely we will recommend you update the
framework.
We have an existing
App built in React Native or Flutter?
Yes and it very much depends on the availability
of the source code and what frameworks and libraries were used to
write it.
We want to use
specific API’s or SDK’s, can you support that?
Most SDKs and API’s are modelled around
developers being able to use them easily. It is likely that we
already have experience with most of the components we need to build
your project. Anything new we can explore to the necessary depth to
use it in your App. We will also help choose the best components to
make up your solution and sometime might need to be allocated to
this in the scope of work.
We have a designer
or don’t have a designer, what can you do?
We usually work with designers and don’t have
one in house because design covers such a vast spectrum of artistic
taste and content. Usually we will work with the designer to create
the design elements of the App. We can welcome a freelance designer
or your preferred designer to your project.
What is your ideal
customer?
The ideal customer for us is one that keeps
coming back where we build success on success and develop a better
product and customer relationship each time we meet.
What project don’t
you like?
We like success so we like to avoid
misunderstanding at any level. That is why we put a lot of effort
and time into close liaison with the customer and understanding what
they need in the first place. We ask for a questionnaire as a pre-qualification process
and this helps jump start any project with the information we need
to make it a success.
