Software Department
as-a-Service

Outsource development for more focus on the essentials

Let's Talk

Our external team develops your software

For successful software development, the brilliant idea is just the first step. A complex process follows until market readiness, requiring as much expertise as resources. If you have a business case but lack the know-how and capacity, a Software Department as-a-Service might be the right solution for you.
We provide you with a complete, dedicated software department that integrates seamlessly into your existing processes. You can leverage the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of your own software team without having to worry about the challenges of building and managing one.

Strategic Collaboration in All Areas

Software Department as-a-Service means that you can entrust the entire software development process to the experts in your external software team. This applies from precise requirements analysis and creative design concepts to flawless programming and comprehensive quality assurance.

Work Processes & Structures

By defining workflows, communication channels, and responsibilities, we ensure that you achieve your goals efficiently

Employees & Role Distribution

We define all necessary roles and select the optimally suited employees to ensure targeted and efficient collaboration

Operational Product Development

Our effective and high-quality development process includes programming, testing phases, iterations, and continuous software improvement

Budgeting & Organization

We handle resource allocation, cost estimation, budget monitoring, and process adjustments as needed

Outsourcing vs. Software Department Comparison

Outsourcing is the familiar model when you lack the capacity to implement software development in-house. However, it also has its limits and is usually restricted to outsourcing partial tasks of a project. With our solution, we go a step further and provide you with a virtual software development department – from planning to maintenance.
When outsourcing software development, you outsource a project completely, partially, or in phases to an external development team.
