Company Values
We do what we say
We are ethical
We enjoy excellence
We are respectful
We inspire customers
We pursue solutions
Our own experiences with offshore service companies were not always positive because of complexity. Working with people from very different cultures, such as India and China, in a different time zone with other legal systems, indistinct ethical framework, and a big staff turnover make many customers come back on their decisions. Very often, there was a lack of the “yes is yes, no is no” principle. Therefore, we looked for a simple model with a very low participation barrier, high comfort, and flexibility.

A TRUE PARTNERSHIP MODEL
Best profile match
You decide — carefully select the best people to match your IT & engineering needs, language requirements and company culture.
Stay in control
We build bridges not walls— our engineers work as part of your cross-border organization while we take care of all supporting services.
Working your way
We follow your preferences – from tools, policies, processes, methodologies, up to company culture and style.
Open Book Pricing Model
We create trustful relations—an open-book transparent costing and pricing model as cornerstone for a successful partnership.
No lock-in
No volume requirements, no exit fees—start small, experience working together and scale-up/down your cross-border team as you go.
Create your affiliate company
We build your nearshore company – optionally spin-off your team as a full-owned affiliate company and run your own nearshore service center.
