FAQ

Custom software allow the company to more easily integrate their existing systems with the new system. Custom software made from scratch are more expensive than those customized from generic software as they are better tailored for you and seamlessly integrate with your existing systems.

A bootcamp graduate is a trained IT developer who usually is a person from an entirely different profession who chooses to enter the IT profession through being trained in a development bootcamp. As the learners are financially motivated, the bootcamps aim to condense the entire learning of several years in college into a single year or even a few months, sometimes thereafter providing them coding experience through low paid development jobs over the next 2-3 years. On the other hand, a college qualified graduate will undergo 3-4 years of learning and some internship experience before graduation. As can be expected, with a bootcamp grad basic coding knowledge and decent industry related coding would be possible, but they would be sorely lacking with regards to complex coding knowledge, in-depth software engineering skills and problem-solving skills that a college qualified grad would excel in. Era Biz solutions only hires talented college qualified graduates with enterprise level software development experience who have worked with foreign clients such as UK and USA with excellent English language skills.

No. Era Biz Solutions does not hire freelance developers. This is in order to maintain high teamwork and work efficiency. Most freelance developers become used to working on their own timelines and develop rather aggressive and independent mindsets in order to handle difficult clients. Hence, even if very talented, they often find it difficult to integrate with the rest of the team when hired and disrupt the development environment.
