There are many ways in which we are different from typical outsourcing software contractors. The most important are:

• Based in Silicon Valley, we provide benefits of operating R&D from Ukraine - a high-value-for-money location and a great source of world-class technical and creative talent.
• We cover the entire product delivery lifecycle — UI and art design, engineering, multiple levels of quality assurance, as well as post-launch data center hosting and support, and provide our customers with the benefits of a-la-carte flexibility or fully-integrated services.
• With an annual staff turnover of less than 2%, we nurture and develop teams whose loyalty and commitment directly translate to our customer's project continuity, transparency, and predictability.
• We reduce outsourcing barriers to an absolute minimum via (a) actively promoting cultural sensitivity and English fluency among our consultants, (b) leveraging world's best communication and multi-media collaboration tools, and (c) travel and visa-enabling our staff for on-site engagements as required.
• We build our contractor pool only from the top 5% of the labor market. Our team is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the success of the products we build. We promote an open dialogue with our clients many times making suggestions that become apparent during the iterations phases.
• We are trusted with architecting and delivering the fundamental technologies that define the companies we work with.
