So How Do We Work In The Essence?
Alex Kurkin
While others are focused on software delivery, we believe it’s only the last mile of the whole process. Our focus is to think through all the possible risks, downfalls, gaps, and bottlenecks and build up necessary processes before the execution stage starts. That’s how the more you work with us, the more value you get and the more committed we are to your product. And bringing value is what we’re brilliant at.
