In today’s business world, it is more important than ever to have a great relationship with your IT vendors. After all, they are the ones who can help you get the most out of your products and services.
Actual technology and globalization have leveled the playing field, making it easier for new businesses to enter the market. At the same time, customers have become more sophisticated and are less likely to do business with a company that doesn’t meet their high standards.
In this environment, it’s essential for businesses to build strong relationships with their clients in order to stay competitive. Unfortunately, many vendors are finding that clients are increasingly unwilling to cooperate. Here we will talk about 5 common reasons why clients are choosing not to work with IT vendors anymore and how Hicron Software House builds partnerships.
Many clients are afraid of collaborations after an unpleasant experience with one vendor. They don’t want to risk another bad company doing something against them or doing something different than they promised instead of actually helping to solve the company’s problems. What are the most common problems with IT vendors? Let’s find out by considering the experiences of some customers.
High employee turnover can be a major problem for any business. It leads to decreased productivity and higher training costs and can also disrupt the flow of work and create morale issues. When an employee leaves, it’s always hard for the company. A high turnover rate can be seen as problematic and unprofessional – which means people will not trust any business of that kind or its products/services with future work.
IT vendors offer DevOps services at the senior level, and then either only juniors work from the start or it is changed after some time. The client pays for experienced professionals and is left with rookies. It felt like hook and bait as they showcased senior devs and the client couldn’t work with them.
Delegating tasks and responsibilities is a great way to streamline workflows while boosting efficiency, sustainability, or success. Many IT vendors don’t have improved internal processes, which makes it very difficult to work with the clients. It becomes a problem not only to increase service time but also not meeting customer expectations regarding productivity or communication with them or between the teams.
The vendor’s CTO is aware of how poor the current infrastructure situation is and he sees no need for improvement. So, in other words, the C-Suite is not aligned with what the customer needs and wants when it comes to infrastructure and how it all works. The vendor’s current system provides an unstable foundation for the client’s product or services. There are holes in the system and it is dangerous for the client’s business as the security may not be at the highest level also.
At Hicron Software House, we had a situation where, as a part of an audit, we were able to achieve unauthorized access to production (admin account) and access to all production files without logging in, so there were two quite serious security problems left by the previous vendor.
Front-end development doesn’t match the design, the client was looking for pixel-perfect implementation which the vendor partner doesn’t grasp. As design and development teams work independently and they often don’t communicate effectively. This can result in front-end code that doesn’t match what was intended by designers or visualizers because there’s no one common standard for how things should look across all platforms which makes it difficult to implement properly without errors.
