Platform and Technology Expertise

What Experience Has Taught Us:

Advances in technology and globalisation have made it possible to build upon open source and publicly accessible software code. However, the missing piece for many companies is not the availability of the code, or even the developers for that matter. Rather it's the lack of specialised talent to creatively modify or incorporate the code in a way that is meaningful to a specific workflow, application or challenge.

When working with PDS Group you will benefit from collaboratively investigating solutions for your domain with a team that understands the intricacies of your operations. Validating the research and building the use case together ensures the science and knowledge of your team is infused in every aspect of the technology. We will help you plan the staging of operational roll-out to best match your organisation's ability to absorb new technology, and will help you engage with the users to plan for the next release cycle.

And, to keep costs under control, we blend our business proximal activities with nearshore services utilising our Centre of Expertise in Bulgaria.
