AN INSTANT SOURCE OF EXPERIENCED TECHNICAL TALENT

A growing shortage of experienced technical talent is impacting ISVs across the United States and UK with open vacancies projected to exceed 2 million across both markets by 2021.

 

Aptitude’s Dedicated Development Team model is designed to help ISVs scale quickly and affordably with some of the best global, digital talent while avoiding the frustrations of local skills shortages, salary inflation and damaging attrition rates.

THE NEED

Having an offshore development capability is a competitive necessity for ISVs of all sizes.

 

Unfortunately the wrong type of  offshoring model, one that suffers from the need for very detailed specifications and inefficient communication protocols  can lead to poor quality and high rework rates.

 

However, a good offshore model – one designed for ISVs –  can break down geographic boundaries and quickly and positively contribute to an ISVs delivery capability with the minimum of client effort.
