Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on how we start, staff, price, secure, and support your engagement — the questions enterprises ask us most before they build with QSS.
Common Questions, Expert Answers
Everything you need to know about working with QSS — timelines, ownership, security, pricing, and what happens after launch.
How quickly can you start?
Two weeks. We've engineered our intake to move from signed agreement to deployed engineering team in under 14 days — including senior architect onboarding, scope finalization, and Sprint 1 kickoff.
Will senior engineers actually work on my project — or junior staff?
Senior. Every engagement starts with a senior architect and is staffed with engineers averaging 5+ years of experience. We don't bait-and-switch — the people you meet in the sales process are the people on the project.
Who owns the source code and intellectual property (IP)?
You do. Clients retain full ownership of the source code and IP — we ensure complete transparency and handover.
How do you handle data security and confidentiality?
NDAs signed before scope discussion. ISO 27001 certified controls across all delivery centers. Optional dedicated infrastructure for regulated industries — healthcare, fintech, defense. We've been audited by Fortune 500 procurement teams.
What if I am not satisfied with the developer's work?
We offer a quick replacement policy, regular performance reviews, and a client satisfaction guarantee to ensure success.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Your first consultation is completely free — no risk, no commitment required to get started.
How fast can we expect a working product?
Production-grade products typically ship in 4–9 months. Pilots and MVPs ship in 6–12 weeks. We measure "done" as deployed to production — not demoed to stakeholders.
Can we start small before committing long-term?
Yes — we recommend it. Most engagements begin with a 4–8 week discovery or pilot phase. If you're not satisfied with the team or output, we restructure or release you with no penalty.
What is the average cost of hiring a developer or a team?
Pricing depends on skillset and engagement model — typically ranges from $20–$50/hour or monthly/team-based rates.
What happens if the project goes off-track?
We catch it early. Weekly burn reviews, transparent Sprint metrics, and a named senior architect who owns escalation. If we can't fix it, we restructure the engagement — not the invoice.
How do you ensure project quality and delivery timelines?
We follow Agile methodologies, use Jira for project tracking, conduct regular sprints, and implement strict QA standards to ensure timely and quality delivery.
How do you handle time zone differences?
Follow-the-sun delivery across our US, India, UAE, and Poland offices. Most engagements have 4–6 hours of overlap with your team's working day.
What happens after the project launches?
Three options — your call: hand it back to your team with full documentation, transition gradually via Build-Operate-Transfer, or stay on as a managed services partner. We'd rather you have the choice than lock you in.
Do you offer post-launch support and software maintenance?
Yes. We provide SLA-backed support, AMC plans, bug fixes, feature updates, and performance monitoring.
