What is it?

Having a large team of 1000+ software development experts, we help our clients enhance their in-house IT departments with our fully or partially staffed teams of developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, solution architects, UI/UX designers, 3D designers, business analysts, project managers, etc. The outsourced employees can be managed by clients directly, but we can also provide a project manager on our side to free up your in-house resources to focus on core business activities.

Our clients delegate all stages of software development to us and, as a result, receive a finished product. We assemble and approve the team according to the domain and technology stack required and take full responsibility for the project’s workflows, product quality, team management, and deadlines. We ensure transparency by providing our clients with daily reports and conducting daily meetings if needed. Our clients can also define the particular length of sprints and iterations.
