Software houses, i.e. companies that develop various types of customised software for clients, are constantly on the increase. This is not surprising. The demand for mobile and web applications, business software, shops and online platforms is huge and constantly growing, and with it the earnings of software developers.

The Polish tax system is often described as complicated and unfavourable for entrepreneurs. However, this is a far-reaching simplification. Our legislator introduces many reliefs and preferences available to companies operating in the IT sector. Why is it worth running an IT company in Poland?

As part of an article on contractual models within the IT industry, I pointed out that two basic contractual models are used as standard in IT: the work contract model and the service contract model. Each of these models provides for different consequences and places different obligations on the parties. Also linked to contract models in IT are the topics of the two leading project methodologies – agile and waterfall. In this article, I will focus on identifying the main advantages and disadvantages of each of these methodologies.

Most start-ups that are now thriving companies with dozens or hundreds of employees were previously just an idea and a product or service in the testing phase. In business, it is then said that a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is created.

The mobile app market is currently worth billions of dollars. It is therefore no surprise that software developers are racing to provide even more personalized products and services to the user.

More than half of IT professionals choose to work under a B2B contract. They consciously opt out of an employment contract, hoping for a high degree of freedom in the performance of their duties and high salaries. Is this really the case? What is a B2B contract and is it worthwhile?

The concept of outsourcing is often discussed in the IT industry. On the one hand, the ordering parties want to “throw away” many services from the company, and on the other hand, thanks to this, a whole market of IT service providers has been created. Sometimes these are companies that provide only outsourcing services – that is, they are a kind of intermediary between specialists and end customers.

Non-solicitation clauses are often inserted into IT contracts (but not only). In a nutshell, it is an obligation of the other party to the contract (or a mutual obligation) not to employ the other party’s personnel. In the IT industry, this is of particular importance because the main “asset” that a software company has are its people (intellectual potential). No wonder, then, that entrepreneurs try to protect the constancy of their team at all costs.
