Software department
as-a-service

Outsourcing development to focus on the essentials

Our external team develops your software

A brilliant idea is only the first step in successful software development. Getting it to market is a complex process that requires both expertise and resources. If your business case is ready, but you lack the expertise and capacity, a Software Department as a Service may be the right solution for you.
We provide you with a complete, dedicated software department that integrates seamlessly with your existing processes. You can benefit from the flexibility, scalability and efficiency of your own software team without having to worry about the challenges of building and managing it.

Strategic collaboration across the board

Software-Department-as-a-Service means you can entrust the entire software development process to the experts in your outsourced software team. This includes accurate requirements analysis, creative design concepts, bug-free programming and comprehensive quality assurance.

Work Processes & Structures

By defining work processes, communication channels and responsibilities, we ensure that you achieve your goals efficiently.

People & roles

We define all necessary roles and select the most qualified people to ensure focused and efficient collaboration.

Operational Product Development

Our effective and high quality development process includes coding, testing, iteration and continuous improvement of the software

Budgeting & Organisation

We allocate resources, estimate costs, monitor budgets and adjust processes as required

Outsourcing vs. Software-Department comparison

Outsourcing is the model you learn when you have too little capacity to develop software in-house. However, it has its limitations and is usually limited to outsourcing sub-tasks of a project. Our solution goes one step further and provides you with a virtual software development department - from planning to maintenance.

When you outsource software development, you outsource all, part or all of a project to an external development team.
