Advantages

Competence

Our team consists of highly skilled, enthusiastic, experienced and dependable people. Our core group has a twenty years history of working together.

Flexibility

As each project is unique, we are ready to adapt to customer’s needs: type of contract, communication tools and protocols, warranty / support period.

Mature processes

Iterative software development model. Thorough documentation for each step of the project lifecycle.

Competitive prices

Years of experience pay off when it comes to efficiency. In addition, operating on a ‘near offshore’ location allows us to spend less on running our office than the cost of an equivalent enterprise from a Western location. Both factors concur to an outstanding price/performance ratio offered to our customers.

Team

We are a team of elite professionals with mature skills and fully prepared to act flexibly and promptly.
We are problem solvers, usually the ones people go to when stuck, helpless or just losing money on bad software.
