Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I choose a custom software development company in Seattle?
Look closely at how a firm runs discovery, since unclear requirements are a common reason projects run over. Ask who owns architecture decisions and how scope changes are costed. If personal or health data is involved, check for ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Ask for references from organizations like yours, and how the team responded when a past engagement hit trouble.
Do you work on Pacific time with Seattle teams?
Yes. Standups, sprint reviews, and release windows are scheduled on Pacific time, so Seattle stakeholders get answers within their own working day. Each engagement has a named delivery lead who joins your planning sessions. Work is mostly remote, with in-person workshops available for discovery, design reviews, or launch planning when sitting together speeds up decisions. We run the same Pacific-time model for clients in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
How do you handle Washington privacy rules such as the My Health My Data Act?
Privacy duties are identified in discovery and designed into the software from the start. For health-related data, that means consent capture, access and deletion workflows, encryption, and audit logging aligned to Washington’s My Health My Data Act and HIPAA where each applies. Kanerika operates under ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and your counsel confirms final interpretations.
Who owns the intellectual property after the project?
Your organization does. The contract assigns IP to you, and the full source repository, documentation, infrastructure templates, and deployment scripts are delivered at completion. Check this clause with any supplier you shortlist, because some retain rights to proprietary frameworks inside your application, which can restrict how you change, license, or sell the software later on.
Should we modernize our legacy system or replace it?
That depends on how much of the existing system still works. If business rules are sound and the problems sit in the interface, integrations, or hosting, incremental modernization is usually quicker and lower risk. Replacement makes sense when the architecture blocks growth, security fixes keep stacking up, or the platform has reached end of support. Discovery includes a code and architecture review, so the recommendation is evidence-based, and many Seattle teams choose a phased path.
Can Kanerika add capacity to our in-house development team?
Yes. The shared engineering squad model is built for this, including cloud application development alongside your developers. Your team keeps product direction and business logic, while Kanerika brings architecture leadership, delivery discipline, and extra capacity. Branching strategy, review rules, and decision rights are agreed before the first sprint, so everyone knows who owns which decisions.
How do you transfer knowledge when the project ends?
Knowledge transfer happens during delivery, not in one meeting at the end. Your engineers take part in pairing sessions, receive architecture decision records, and get runbooks and walkthroughs for deployment, monitoring, and incident response. By launch they have already released changes themselves, so ownership moves across smoothly, without a cliff edge.
What support is available after go-live?
After go-live, support covers defect fixes within agreed response windows, uptime and performance monitoring, and regular dependency and security patching. Enhancement requests go through a simple intake process. When the included period ends, you can continue on a maintenance plan or move to long-run product engineering if you need ongoing feature work.
What does custom software development cost in Seattle?
Pricing reflects feature scope, integration complexity, and the length of post-launch support. A focused application usually starts in the low five figures. Enterprise builds with security controls, several integrations, and compliance requirements commonly run from $50,000 into six figures. Integrating older systems is the cost teams underestimate most often, so discovery prices it explicitly and early, before you approve any funding.
How long does a custom software project take?
Standalone applications typically take about eight to sixteen weeks from kickoff to launch. Enterprise programs involving legacy integration, role-based access, and compliance review commonly take six months or longer. We deliver in phases with working software at each milestone, so your users start seeing real value well before the final release date arrives.
