Start the Project
Q: What should I do if my requirement is only a general idea?
A: At this stage, you could resort to us and tell your needs and
expectations. The suitable consultants will approach you to learn as
much as possible about your software outsourcing needs and work with
you to build a detailed specification out of it as long as you have
clear thoughts on what you really want.
Q: What should I do if I have a fully documented specification?
A: Send it over to us and we will evaluate and analyze the project
based on the detailed requirement, then a proposal will be created and
with your approval with it, we will submit the resumes of proper
resources with required skills and experience for your validation.

the hardware/software environment is set up. After all these done, the
project kicks off.
Also we provide free pilot to establish a deep and trustful relationship with you.
Q: What should I do if I only need dedicated resources?
A: Shinetech will set up an Offshore Development centre (ODC) which
will act as a virtual extension of your own development team to provide
development, ongoing support & enhancement, testing services. For
more details about our ODC, please read: Offshore development centre.
Q: How do you establish a team for my project?

less than 4 engineers, 10 working days for 5-10 engineers. Depending on
your different project needs, the team roles will be distinguishing. >> top
