Your professional offshore partner

Offshore Software Development

We help you get started with the right offshore software development partner.

For ten years we have done staffing and completed projects for our European clients succesfully. We know exactly what offshoring means because we have experienced all the pros and cons of it ourselves.

• Team Augmentation (extended workbench) - Do you need offshore software development extending your existing team?
• Cost Efficency - Do you have a business idea to be developed in a cost-effective way?
• Quality - Do you need a reliable offshore software partner with a track-proven record?

We know the needs of small and medium-sized companies particularly well and can support you in the creation and operation of a customized solution. Thanks to our partnership with a leading local IT company with over 200 software developers, we can support you in a wide range of technologies.

We are your co-worker and sparring partner, and we are your lifeline, if something should go wrong.

About Us

With more than 10 years of practical on-the-ground experience in collaboration between Europe and Southwest Asia (Pakistan), we will support you in achieving your business goals.

We specialise in IT cooperation, but are happy to support you in any partnership that requires cross-cultural experience, intelligence, skills and on-site availability.

How do we work?

1. We believe it makes a difference that we have face-to-face communication with our partners. Therefore some of our Western staff is regulary on-site and is responsible for training the right talents and smoothly coordinating with our European clients.
2. We believe in partnership. It takes both partners to reach the highest levels of efficency, quality and profitability. In the same way we partner with our Pakistani talents; training programmes, coaching and frequent assessment ensure that everyone involved mutually benefits.
3. We believe in social and environmental sustainability. By providing work to some of the most talented Pakistani professionals and offering working conditions comparable to Europe, we are taking a stand against the brain drain that is detrimental to the local economy. In a country where environmental protection is still in its initial stages, we set an example in this area through our business practices.
