How we do and that’s how the whole thing works
.01
Communication
Our software development company works hard to do our best in terms of communication as we understand that both we and our clients need to always be in touch for the most effective work on the project.
To achieve this, we use both planned communication which includes meetings, brain storming and reporting, as well as unscheduled communication such as prompt answers to urgent questions, work with client requests etc. Basically, we are always in touch through the Watch online button (by clicking it, our customers can personally see how we work on their project).
.02
Legal aspects
Mass Media Group knows how important it is for our customers to have guarantees of quality and integrity of their corporate data. That is why we always document all the details, requirements and obligations ahead of time.
We offer an internationally recognized contract where everything is spelled out from the small details and the client’s wants to the methodology and application architecture. The contract also includes the findings of IT consulting. It specifies the detailed estimates on time and cost in order to ensure maximum transparency in matters of pricing.
In addition, we provide a non-disclosure agreement guaranteeing that your data will not fall into the hands of competitors. We also offer a free lifetime code warranty so the client feels confident in our willingness to be responsible for the product’s quality and operation.

FFF — Fixed time, Fix budget, Flex-scope
This type of engagement model allows you to work TOGETHER with a client. At the beginning, the software development company has a certain budget, for example, $100 and the amount of work on the client's tasks, for example X hours of a specialist's work. If the client with his new wishlist exceeds the hundred-dollar budget, the software development company either removes part of the functionality (old or new) in the second release, or rejects the idea without increasing the $100 budget.

With each innovation, we look at what change it will make to the budget. If the budget is exceeded, then the work can either be transferred to the second release or stand in the current iteration of development. The main principle: in the current iteration, the software development company doesn’t change the budget and terms under any circumstances.
Pros:
• Price and quality remain unchanged when adjusting the scope of work;
• Convenient engagement model if there are more ideas than money, and you need to focus on creating the best product for your budget;
Cons:
• This type of engagement model requires working more closely with the development company and the client;
• This engagement model requires more careful planning and flexibility on both sides.
