In modern business, only continuous improvement separates winners from the rest—so your software can’t stand still. Applications need ongoing maintenance and development so your company not only stays competitive but also meets the ever-rising expectations of your organization, users, and customers.
Reasons for a new development partner include:
Shifts in business needs
Organizations grow and evolve, which can lead to shifts in business needs. New functions and features may be required to meet changing business requirements or to streamline operations and boost competitiveness. A new partner can provide the resources and expertise needed for ongoing development that aligns with your evolving needs.
Technological advancements
Technological development opens up new opportunities to enhance software performance, security, and user experience. Upgrading to the latest technologies can help your organization stay competitive and capitalize on emerging market trends. A partner must be able to provide the expertise and resources needed to leverage these new possibilities.
Changing customer requirements
Customers’ expectations and needs are constantly evolving. Software development may involve adding new features or enhancing existing functionality to better meet your customers’ needs and expectations. Sometimes, switching partners can provide innovative solutions and insights to address these shifting demands.
Fixes and enhancements
The software may contain bugs or deficiencies that require correction. Additionally, user feedback can reveal opportunities for improvement that enhance your software’s usability and functionality. A new partner can bring a fresh perspective and solutions for fixing issues and implementing enhancements.
Security demands
Security threats and requirements are constantly evolving. Software development may include security enhancements and vulnerability fixes to ensure your system is protected against potential risks. Sometimes, changing partners is necessary to access the specialized expertise and up-to-date methods needed to strengthen security.
Cost of further development

Hurja’s standard hourly rate for software development starts at €95/hr + VAT. We always prepare a custom proposal, taking into account project size, timeline, duration, team requirements, and the best project methodology—because every software project is unique.
We offer flexible pricing models to suit various needs and budgets. Together we’ll choose the option that best supports your goals—whether a fixed price, target-price model, or hourly billing. This flexibility ensures you get the best solution with no hidden costs..
Fixed price
A fixed price model is ideal for short and straightforward projects.
The price remains unchanged throughout the implementation.
Target-price model
The target price model brings flexibility to a software project.
The agreed target price keeps costs and out-of-scope changes under control.
Hourly billing
The hourly billing model allows for agile changes in plans, as software development is carried out at an hourly rate.
The implementation is flexible, and features and functionalities can be prioritized throughout the project.
It doesn’t require extremely detailed technical specifications beforehand, as requirements are refined along the way—allowing the project to start faster.
Modern technologies
We favor open-source solutions and always use the latest development tools. If you don’t see what you need—just ask. Sometimes what you need is hidden in plain sight. See more of the tools we use here.

- TypeScript
- React.js

Collaboration begins with clarity

With nearly twenty years of experience across diverse IT systems, we can help even with older software. Our goal is transparent, straightforward collaboration using clear processes and practices.
Identify needs and expectations
Before we begin our collaboration, we clarify your needs and expectations for the takeover project. This lets us tailor the service precisely to your requirements. Then, together we establish clear objectives and timelines to ensure the project progresses as planned and efficiently.
Begin takeover with an audit
When working with legacy systems, the most sensible approach is to start with a software audit. Assessing the current state helps reveal the system’s true condition. That way, we gain a clear picture of the best direction for further development.
Transparent development workflow
At the start of the project, we closely follow the agreed-upon processes and schedules to ensure everything runs smoothly and that any issues or delays are identified and addressed in a timely manner.
Open dialogue
We encourage you to ask clarifying questions about the project details, our ways of working, and our team at any time. Our goal is that you challenge us to perform better and stay actively involved in the software development process.
