Our client speaks for us
Working with Bench on Demand has been a great experience for my business. Over the last few years I had struggled to a find high quality, reliable, and professional programming group to develop and maintain our in house and client projects. Bench on Demand was different in every way. First, they took time to understand my business initiatives and the type of projects I was interested in developing. They also provided me with excellent technical advice and project management. Being a very "hands on" manager, fast, efficient, and clear communication with programmers and project managers is extremely important. I can reach my Project Manager or my programmers anytime and can track development and progress with their online PM application. Most importantly their code quality, programming, and design intuition is superb. We just completed the first phase of a complex custom project and I could not be happier. After a year of searching I have finally found a team that delivers quality work on time and within my budget. Going forward, I see Bench on Demand as a key strategic partner for the development of our in house and client projects, in terms of providing the expertise, commitment to quality and the skilled resources that will allow us to successfully deliver these solutions in the time frame that we need
Being a new start-up with a limited budget we needed to maximize every dollar we could and at the same time not sacrifice onthe quality and speed of our development. We researched many options including both in house and outsourced development. We had the usual hesitations of working with an offshore developer but in the end, after many recommendations, we chose BOD. A key factor in this decision is the fact that we were able to close the agreement with a US based office, this gave us a comfort level that we didn’t have with many others.
We quickly realized we made the right choice. The BOD development team brought a deep technical knowledge to the table as well as the ability to quickly grasp new concepts such as Facebook applications and implement them. The team was quick to respond to changes in design and any bugs that creeped in were quickly patched. Management was always open to communication and very responsive to issues that came up. For example, they gave us more development hours during a particular crunch time. The team has as a whole made a great effort to really understand our product and market and make suggestions as to features and design that we may have overlooked.
Overall we are thrilled with the work that BOD has done and have continued to work with them on new features and products. There is no question that we got the best bank for the buck. Anyone looking for a recommendation- don’t hesitate to drop me an email.
I recommend SecureNext whole-heartedly. I am an entrepreneur who had an idea for an online portal for Independent Consultants. Professional developers at SecureNext made this idea come true and today ParetoCentral has over 600 registered members. SecureNext staff did the design expertly so that the site is flexible for future changes.
This involved a well-thought out administrative interface and modular design. SecureNext staff are always quick to respond for feature changes and other fixes and SecureNext used the state-of-the-art programming methodologies. In summary, if you are looking to hire a outsourced development partner, hire SecureNext!

As an American company trying to build an internet start-up business from the beginning, development is easily your most important decision. After spending a lot of wasted dollars and time on hiring what I thought were lazy and overpaid American developers we finally decided that outsourcing is worth a shot. Quite frankly, I will admit that I was scared about sending the most important piece of the company overseas, our technology. Not being able to communicate face to face with someone, work the same hours during the day, language barriers, cultural differences, and potential loss of direct oversight on a project were always significant roadblocks in my mind from sending work overseas.
Even though we were faced with these potential issues we researched and interviewed many different development companies from Mexico, Russia, China, Columbia, and India. Our first interaction with Bench on Demand was a pleasant one because owners of the company very understanding of our concerns. The next step was speaking with the owner and head of development, Saran. He assured me that his team was fully experienced in all of the latest internet technologies. He also informed me that he personally oversees and directs all of the projects at BOD. As a bonus, there prices were at the lower end of what comparative companies were offering. It all seemed too good to be true. We signed up to get started immediately.
We were assigned one project manager and three developers. Their task was to take our existing code and integrate into new web 2.0 technologies. I will admit that in the beginning as with any new endeavor there is a phase of learning and communicating with each other. But, after about one month the development really started to take off. Not only was the quality of work improving by the day, but the development time for newenhancements was decreasing rapidly.
As the project moved forward, our Project Manager started becoming more and more comfortable with his role in directing the developers. What I did not expect was the way he embraced our vision as his own by making suggestions and improvements that I did not even think of myself. The communication barrier I was concerned about previously was not an issue as their mastery of the English language far exceeded my expectations. Not only do they understand everything you say well but they are extremely polite and courteous.
I am happy to say that here we are only six months after handing the project to the BOD team and we are ready to launch to the world. I can honestly say that I am not sure if we would have ever been in this position had we stayed with our American developers. No, I would say we would probably be out of business. Thank you BOD for your level of commitment, energy, detail, and passion. I definitely did not think the amazingly positive results were possible for any development partner. Because of you, we have made our vision come to life and our dream of our company being an internet revolution a reality.
Good Luck and all the best.
As an entrepreneur, I’m constantly looking for technology partners to enhance my businesses. When I set out to build custom, web 2.0 software to automate my sales and delivery departments, I chose the team at BOD - and they have made all the difference in my world.
The BOD team took the time to research and understand my business models and what my industry and business-specific needs were. K. Saravana kumar, CEO of BOD, knew exactly what questions to ask and interfaced with me constantly in the various processes. He cared enough to find out what I was expecting from the new applications and then delivered on what he promised at a(delete n as it should read a instead of an) competitive rate.
I enjoy working with BOD and appreciate having the tools needed to excel. Thank you for delivering on-time and within budget. I look forward to a long relationship.
