Engagement Models

Softeq is a client-centric company. We treat clients as partners, and their objectives become ours. Our mature processes, development approach, and “can-do” attitude help us drive the process to co-production. Therefore being a part of the client’s in-house or distributed development force and integrate seamlessly for a synergy, instead of dissonance, is our vision of a result-driven, efficient cooperation.

Dedicated Development Team

A Dedicated Development Team (DDT) is an engagement model with a number of financial and communication benefits, such as:

  • Optimal team composition, both in terms of investments and skillset, in an ultimate accordance to your current project needs
  • Ability to deliver a full-cycle service with no need to engage another external vendor
  • Risk mitigation as no knowledge and sensitive data is dispersed further the DDT Increased output across all production stages due to more efficient resource management
  • Complete visibility and control over the hired development team

Time & Material

If your requirements are less straightforward from the very beginning or there are more dependencies that might affect the solution’s design and the project development on the job, the Time & Material (T&M) engagement model is the best option. In case you prefer to give a try to a certain number of processes within your system, product or game development to test their outsourcability, and thus to alleviate any concerns, we recommend this flexible model. The hourly rates which the client pays for the resources selected vary depending on the skillset, experience and location. As your needs change, you can revise the team to optimize your costs without compromising on the overall team performance.

Fixed Price

Should your technical requirements and project specification be more distinct or foreseeable Softeq can provide a fixed time / fixed price quote for your initiative.
