Factors in Successful Development Acceleration

Product Leadership

We identify Business Analysis in Software Product Development as a separate area of expertise, targeted to extend capabilities and facilitate your central Product Management efforts. This helps your Product Manager to scale properly and focus on the most critical things, without being overloaded by a huge amount of information from users or multiple products requirements management tasks, etc.

Global Delivery

TSoft has delivery centers in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe, and Russia. Such a distributed, but flat and flexible organization structure enables close communication between your team and the TSoft team while improving its efficiency and avoiding the complexities of direct management of remote development and QA teams.

Focus on Product Quality

All product quality assurance functions are handled by an independent QA department whose sole mission is the quality of your product at its every aspect. Independence from the development team guarantees that you always get correct understanding of the quality and will be able to make informed decisions based on that information.

Intellectual Property Protection

TSoft has a strong focus on a service-based business model. This is one of the principal points we are building our work around and it is designed and implemented to protect Itransition’s clients from unfair competition practices. Strong corporate policies, standards and infrastructure protect client Intellectual Property from being used by anybody else, including other product teams within TSoft.
