Once you decide to work with us, the first step is an in-depth workshop where we gather all the necessary information about your project’s goals and requirements. Based on this, we create a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, and cost. After your approval, we start with a planning phase, followed by development. The entire process is collaborative, with regular updates. Contact us to discuss the steps in more detail.

Onboarding a new developer at Itera Research involves understanding the project’s requirements, reviewing existing project documentation, and establishing clear communication channels. We introduce the developer to your internal team, set up collaboration, task and time-tracking tools, and ensure they are aligned with the project’s goals. The onboarding process can be tailored to fit your specific needs. The process is supported by the dedicated project manager till the successful onboarding and smooth integration. Learn more about how we onboard developers during a consultation.

We carefully match developers to your project based on their experience, expertise, and the specific technologies required. After a thorough internal assessment, we present you with potential candidates, allowing you to interview them to ensure the perfect fit for your team. We’ll guide you through the selection process—contact us for more details.

Our PM principles are based on the PMI concepts. We mostly follow an Agile project management approach, adjusting to the specific needs of each project, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to changes. This includes defining clear milestones, scheduling regular progress updates, and maintaining open communication. We also use project management and collaborative tools like Jira, Confluence, Asana, Slack, or Trello and others to ensure that every stakeholder is on the same page. For a detailed walkthrough of our Project Management Policy, schedule a consultation.

At Itera Research, we prioritize security throughout the development lifecycle. We follow industry-standard security practices, including secure coding guidelines like OWASP, encryption of sensitive data, and regular security audits. Additionally, we ensure compliance with relevant regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA when needed. Let’s discuss how we can tailor our security practices to your project in a consultation.

Quality assurance at Itera Research is a multi-step process. It includes automated testing, manual testing, and continuous integration to catch bugs early. We involve our QA team from the start of the project to ensure quality is maintained throughout development. We also offer post-deployment support to address any issues that arise. Schedule a consultation to learn more about how we ensure top-tier quality.

Our team is experienced in remote collaboration, using tools like Slack, Jira, Confluence, Asana, Trello, Google Drive, Loom, Notion, Zoom, and Google Meet, Toggle and Clockify to maintain seamless communication.

The cost of building a mobile or web application is highly variable and depends on several critical factors. At Itera Research, we approach each project uniquely, ensuring that we tailor both the process and the pricing to meet your specific needs. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the key factors that influence the cost:

Simple Applications: These are apps with basic functionalities, limited screens, and minimal integrations (e.g., a simple informational app or MVP). Such projects typically cost less because they require fewer development hours. The cost starts from 4-5k.
Moderately Complex Applications: Apps with databases, features like user authentication, dashboards,APIs for third-party integrations, and standard UI/UX design tend to cost more and the cost usually starts from 10k.
Highly Complex Applications: If your app requires advanced functionalities such as real-time data updates, complex backend systems, multiple API integrations, AI-based features, or sophisticated security layers, the cost will naturally be higher. Examples include banking apps, eCommerce platforms, or apps with extensive user interactions.

Platform Selection:

Single Platform: Developing an app for a single platform (either for Web or for iOS or Android) typically costs less.

Cross-Platform Development: If you need your app to run on multiple platforms (iOS, Android, and Web), this will increase the cost. While cross-platform development frameworks like React Native or Flutter can help reduce the overall time and cost, ensuring optimal performance on all platforms still requires more effort.

Custom Features:

Basic Features: Simple features like static content, forms, or push notifications are relatively inexpensive to implement.
Advanced Features: Features such as GPS functionality, in-app purchases, real-time messaging, video streaming, or complex user roles require more development work, increasing the cost.
Security and Compliance: Applications requiring high-security measures (e.g., fintech or healthcare apps) and compliance with regulations such as HIPAA add extra layers of cost due to the need for encryption, audits, and legal reviews.

UI/UX Design:

A key factor in app success is its usability and aesthetic appeal. Complex and custom-designed user interfaces require more time for design and development, especially if they involve animations, multi-step flows, or tailored user journeys.

Maintenance and Support:

Even after the app is launched, continuous updates, bug fixes, and scaling may be needed. These ongoing costs should be factored in from the start.
At Itera Research, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Once we’ve gathered all the information about your specific project—including your goals, required features, and target platforms—we provide a tailored estimate. Whether you’re looking to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to quickly test your concept or a full-featured app for a broader audience, we can work with you to develop a cost-effective solution that fits your budget without compromising on quality.
