Your dedicated team starts working. We provide ongoing HR, administrative, and operational support.
A dedicated development team is a group of software engineers who work exclusively for your company on a long-term basis. Unlike project-based outsourcing, dedicated teams become an extension of your organization, working full-time on your projects under your direction while we handle employment, HR, and infrastructure.
While staff augmentation adds individual developers to your existing team, a dedicated team model provides a complete, self-sufficient development unit. Dedicated teams typically include multiple roles (developers, QA, DevOps) and can operate more independently, making them ideal for ongoing product development or larger initiatives.
A core team of 3-5 developers can typically be assembled within 4-8 weeks. Larger teams are built incrementally, adding 2-3 members per month to ensure proper integration and knowledge transfer. We can also start with a smaller team and scale as your needs grow.
The minimum team size is 3 developers for dedicated team arrangements. We recommend a minimum 6-month commitment to allow for proper team formation and to see meaningful results. However, we offer flexible arrangements for companies looking to start smaller.
You have full control over day-to-day management and technical direction. We provide a Team Lead or Engineering Manager who handles administrative coordination, team welfare, and acts as your local point of contact. You can also appoint your own technical lead from the team.
We understand business needs change. With reasonable notice (typically 30-60 days), we can adjust team size. We work with you to manage transitions smoothly, and we can often relocate developers to other projects rather than terminations.
