How to Choose the Right One?

Pragmatic Techsoft Pvt. Ltd.

2. Outsourcing is the Word
• Enterprises, irrespective of their size have come to
believe in outsourcing their technological requirements.
Besides, they expect their technology partners to optimize
business processes thereby creating more avenues to
maximize revenue.

3. Holistic View is Important
• Software outsourcing is definitely cost effective and quickens the
time-to-market.
• However, business owners should not single-mindedly look at
only these advantages when choosing the right Odoo partner.
• Many a time, businesses end up choosing an Odoo partner who
offers a very standard set of services with very less knowledge
about the customer’s business and product goals.

4. Holistic View is Important
• No one wants to work with a company that they can’t trust or that
doesn’t have the expected expertise or passion.
• Trust, passion, integrity are few factors which can’t be measured.
But these are the factors which makes any business a success in
the long run.
• You, as a business owner, should evaluate all aspects of a
project, but take your time to look at the following points which will
help you analyse the most credible Odoo partner.

5. Things to Look out
before Choosing an Odoo Partner

6. Understand your
Business Needs
Thoroughly

7. • This is the first point to consider every time before
looking for an Odoo partner. If you want to choose
the best, you have to understand what exactly you
want.
• As a business, you have to identify your business
needs by evaluating the problems and analysing
possible solutions.
• On the basis of the nature of your project, the
requirements, and probable solutions, choose an
Odoo Partner.

8. Check the
Odoo Partner’s
Technical Expertise
& Passion for Technology

9. • The next step is to gather information about the Odoo Partner.
• Their skill set, the expertise of their employees, exposure to
latest technology, portfolio, experience in handling complex
projects, the effectiveness of communication, approach
towards business challenges, adherence to deadlines and
most importantly passion towards building a technological
revolution.

10. Is the Odoo Partner Customer Centric?

11. • There is always an element in business which is not limited to a contract.
We need to consider the human behavior part in technology transaction.
• Even if the Odoo partner is rich with superior tech solutions and
expertise, customer service is something which can’t be ignored.
• If the Odoo partner is not customer centric, the business relationship will
get affected and result in release delays.
• There are vendors in the business, who want to make some quick money
and have short term business goals. Association with these kind of Odoo
partners could be a disaster for your business.

12. Check the Odoo
Partner’s Market
Reputation

13. • Look at the Odoo Partner’s client base and delivered project history.
Search for client testimonials and reviews either on their website or social
media channels.
• To go a little forward, you can connect with one of their clients on social
media and can take their opinion.

14. Budget & Size of
your Project

15. • The point to remember is not all Odoo partners undertake any size of
software development projects. There are Odoo partners who only go
for long term projects where they can keep on innovating
technological solutions.
• But, there are various small to medium scale companies who can take
projects of any size & offer any particular solution.
• Before approaching an Odoo partner, ask yourself whether your
project is small, medium or large. And accordingly, you can shortlist
possible vendors.

16. • The next factor to be considered is the price factor. If technological
expertise is important, the cost is equally important.
• Sometimes we expect too much as compared to our budget. Before
approaching an Odoo partner, we need to consider what the budget
for the project is and how much ROI you can get from this.
• Never compromise on the quality part for lower cost. There are
vendors who always put hidden charges excluding the project cost.
• Try to ignore those vendors who put an additional charge on
everything. Yes, there are few extra minimal costs like maintenance,
support as a part of the project.

17. Have a Look at
the Odoo Partner’s
Software Development
Model

18. • Odoo partners with flexible open delivery models are agile enough to
adapt to the rapidly changing technologies.
• Always choose an Odoo partner who follows the agile delivery model
and finds it easy to adapt to the changing requirements of the client
and still deliver in the predefined timeline.

19. Consider the Financial
Stability of the Odoo
Partner

20. • The client should take a brief look at factors like ownership structure, their partners,
acquisition plan etc. Any of these points can put a huge impact on your project and
business terms with the Odoo partner in the future.
• Consider a scenario, you have signed a contract with a vendor, and in the mid of the
project the Odoo partner goes bankrupt and out of business. Imagine the
consequences your business will face in that phase. Besides, it always costs you
more to switch vendors with the same product.
• Being financially stable means the Odoo partner can sustain in the market for years
and have a long run business goal, rather than having a short term monetary goal.
• While considering an Odoo partner, look into the factors like since how many years
they are in the business or if they are a start-up, see who are the investors or what
are their assets.

21. Trust & Security
Factors of the Odoo
Partner

22. • One of the major concerns of a business owner is that, will your data
and intellectual property be secure in the hands of an outsourcing
Odoo partner.
• So, before evaluating any vendor, make sure they will go by your
privacy and intellectual property rights policy. It is very important to
consider an Odoo partner who conducts regular security and network
audits within his workplace.
• Check whether the Odoo partner you selected has the tools or
technology to protect your data and prevent leakage of sensitive
information. If you are completely satisfied after analysing all these,
you can proceed.

23. After Sale Service &
Future Support

24. • Make sure your selected Odoo partner
provides proper after sale service and access
to their technical team to offer future support.
Support also includes maintenance, updates
and bug fixation.

25. Last but not the Least,
Go for a Test Ride

26. • If you still happen to be confused and are not able to decide
on a Odoo partner, you always have the option for a free
consultation or sample or trial.
• You can choose any option to ensure the quality of the
features, business benefits and durability. Make sure that
the solution meets your expectations and have the
necessary features and functionalities.

doubts you have and understand how the final solution can
add business values.
