The Decision That Determines Whether Your Project Succeeds or Fails

Choosing a software development company in Dubai is one of the most consequential decisions a business leader makes. This guide gives you twelve questions that cut through the surface and reveal what a company is actually capable of.

Question 1: Can you show case studies with specific, measurable outcomes — not just screenshots?

Question 2: Who specifically will be working on my project — and what are their experience levels?

Question 3: What is your development methodology, and how will I be kept informed?

Question 4: How do you handle scope changes — and what happens to cost and timeline?

Question 5: What is your current technology stack, and how do you approach AI and modern tooling?

Question 6: Do you have experience with UAE-specific requirements — PDPL compliance, Arabic language support, UAE VAT?

Question 7: What does your quality assurance and testing process look like?

Question 8: Who owns the code and all intellectual property after delivery?

Question 9: What exactly happens after launch — what does post-delivery support include?

Question 10: Can I speak directly with two or three of your recent clients — by phone, not by email?

Question 11: How do you price projects — fixed fee or time and materials?

Question 12: Are you a registered UAE company with a valid trade licence?
