Disrupting outsourcing industry

Let me guess, you were badly burned the last time you outsourced a project. You took your project to a team in India for a bargain rate, but they fell short on delivery. The language barrier caused huge problems and the quality was way below expectations. Let’s say instead you opted for a Romanian or Ukrainian team thinking they had better skills? While the quality of the code improved, I bet the management of the project suffered because of cultural differences. Do you relate to either of these scenarios?

Outsourcing IT and development is a big decision and can cost your company if you choose the wrong team. After eight years of being in the business as a passionate coder and successful entrepreneur, I’ve figured out a way to deliver a happy and productive solution for people like you who are looking for a pain-free way to outsource. To help explain, I’ll start with the issue of using existing options and then will tell you about the alternative.

Whether you work with Indian companies or firms in the former Soviet states, you will most likely come out of the experience sorely disappointed and quite possibly a few accounts lighter. Both of these options leave a lot to be desired in the way of quality and attentiveness. Indian teams are generally underpaid, low-skilled, and short-sighted. Most projects fail because the architecture was poor and there was no long-term commitment. In the case of outsourcing to Romania or the Ukraine, coders may be more qualified, but they often have poor organizational skills and struggle to overcome cultural differences and time zones differences to effectively deliver a quality product.

In either case, most Western European and U.S. companies hate to offshore talent because of these headaches. They will end up avoiding an outsourcing arrangement altogether, or they will bounce around from one firm to another at a huge cost to their operations and bottom line. I am happy to tell you now that there is an alternative – a unique combination of exceptional talent and experienced cross-cultural management to alleviate these pain points at the local level and make outsourcing a truly positive experience. Are you ready to learn more? The hands-down alternative is Develandoo, and here is why…

1. Develandoo was founded and established by engineers who worked in large U.S. and German corporations. They are experienced technical and management professionals who have led large teams and understand how big companies work from the inside. They’ve had exposure to preferred cultural norms and maintain an astute understanding of the challenges as they themselves were CTOs and managers of offshore teams. Can you imagine finally working with a leadership team who speaks your language and feels your pain?

2. Within the burgeoning IT economy of Armenia, Develandoo has unlimited hiring capacity to reach the best and brightest talent from a sophisticated pool of people who have lived in concert with the Western European culture. Our Armenian developers are housed all over the world, and know the language and respect the culture for conducting business with companies in the United States and Western Europe. Why would you sacrifice skill for cultural understanding when you can have a ‘hell mix’ of both?

3. Develandoo maintains the highest technical standards and employs a very tough 3 step hiring process: Filter Interview, Programming Test, and Culture Test. We extend this process to onboard the most qualified Program Management and Quality Assurance staff inside the country and time zone of our customer, when a job is accepted so that they can speak the language of the customer and settle any communication issues. Further, Develandoo employees report daily and are managed full-time in an agile way at our modern and dedicated development spaces in Armenia, Mexico, Germany, and the USA. Wouldn’t it feel great to work with the talent in your area that you would hire for your own business?

4. Transparency is the first order of business, and Develandoo customers are involved in the development process from the very beginning. Through automated and manual testing, beta testing, and customer interviews, customers provide daily reviews and focused feedback to help direct product outcomes and improve quality. Don’t you agree that quality is the direct result of collaboration to involve the customer end-user?

5. Develandoo aims to expand the IT knowledge base by educating people with online video tutorials and technical blog articles produced by employees. We believe in investing in professional development and self-improvement, and our employees embrace the opportunity to engage as subject matter experts in their specialization. How would it feel to work with a team who can enthusiastically explain what they do set the standard for creating quality products?


I created Develandoo to deliver something special to customers looking for a top-tier IT outsourcing alternative. My experience working in the U.S. and in Western Europe showed me how successful IT businesses should be run, and I have taken the steps necessary to assemble a highly competent team and put standard processes in place for long-term success.
