Contemplating extending your software development capacity with a dedicated team of talented software engineers in the long term? By engaging a dedicated development team with QAT Global in the US, Costa Rica, or Brazil, you get a proven outsourcing solution, which enables you to extend your development capacities at a high value, scalable, sustainable basis.

QAT Global’s Dedicated Software Development Teams offering enables clients to quickly extend their local engineering teams through product development and support resources in our software development centers in the US, Brazil, or Costa Rica. By partnering with QAT Global to expand their global footprints, our clients successfully extend their own Software Development Teams to help bring new, quality software products to market quickly and cost-effectively.

When a development project’s scope, specification, and implementation plans are reasonably well defined at the outset, a Dedicated Software Development Team model becomes an attractive option. Through this engagement model, customers can integrate talented global engineers into discrete projects that are “time-boxed” and require particular market or technology expertise. Under this model, QAT Global assigns a project team, including a delivery manager, equipment, and infrastructure necessary to deliver on time.

In many cases, project requirements tend to evolve during the course of implementation, thereby necessitating additional or lesser resources. To facilitate such development, this Software Development Team engagement model gives clients the flexibility of adjusting product development and support resources to a global level while optimizing on time and costs.
