Project Summary

Globaldev (formerly X1 Group) provides long-term development outsourcing, supplying .NET developers to Nutsgroep's software environment. The engagement began in April 2014 and has continued, growing from a single developer to multiple teams in the Netherlands and Ukraine. The vendor's teams work in an agile methodology and are integrated with the client's in-house staff; the client praises the teams' quality, responsiveness, and project management.

Key Challenges

Shortage of highly trained developers in the Netherlands
High local salaries making hiring costly
Need to add developers to support the client's .NET software environment and improve customer-facing website efficiency

Project Deliverables

.NET development teams
.NET software and feature implementations
Agile development processes and team integration

Project Solution

Globaldev supplied dedicated .NET developers who joined the client's team to work on their .NET software environment. The engagement began with a single developer that expanded to eight developers within a year and later to two vendor teams (one in Ukraine and one in the Netherlands). The teams work in an agile methodology and are integrated with the client's product owner and agile coach for daily collaboration. The vendor has continued scaling the engagement organically and the work is ongoing.

Project Outcome

Multiple integrated development teams (three in the Netherlands, two at X1 Group)
Ukraine team delivered high-quality software consistently for four years
Vendor teams operate like in-house staff with daily stand-ups and natural communication
High-quality project management reduced the client's need to manage the teams directly
Client would choose the vendor again and recommends them for outsourcing
