Software services
Competition is fierce and time-to-market is accelerated. Recruiting and keeping the best technical talent has become a challenge. There is an increasing shortage of skilled developers in Western Europe. In this competitive environment Software and Solution Vendors must overcome many challenges while remaining competitive and innovative.
Many clients have chosen us because our sourcing services provide them with a flexible layer of development capacity which accommodates market dynamics, the speed of innovation and staffing for accelerating their business. Over 80% of the activities of Levi9 at our clients is happening at the revenue side of our clients – we help generating their revenue and profit.
Over 1000 professionals are based in our six delivery centres located in Serbia, Romania and Ukraine. As such, we have access to three labour markets providing an extensive capacity of university trained IT professionals. Our experience with these labour markets means we know how to recruit and retain the best talent, who not just excel in their technical skills, but also in their communication skills, their work ethics and proactive attitude.
We help our Digital Marketing and Media customers in the following areas:
Cultural Proximity
The cultural proximity between Eastern and Western Europe is significantly closer than when offshoring to other parts of the world. Our delivery centres located in Serbia (Novi Sad, Belgrade and Zrenjanin) share the same time zone as The Netherlands whilst our delivery centres in Ukraine (Kiev and Lviv) and Romania (Iasi) are only 1 hour ahead.
Agile development
Requires a close relationship between customer (product owner) and supplier (scrum master, developers, testers). Working in a similar time zone maximizes real time communication and cooperation; both efficient and effective. Travelling to and from our delivery centres requires only half of a day, allowing low-threshold visits and face-to-face meetings onsite. We believe that collaboration is the pillar of success. Our remote teams integrate fully into your development teams and processes whilst bringing best practices to the situation. We do not merely offer capacity, but provide the team as a service (TaaS). The TaaS concept enables on-demand creation and management of distributed software development teams, effectively tailored for unique business requirements.
