Benefits of ODC

Constant Team – The continuity of the same people helps to quick start projects, protection of investment, long-term relationship, mutual rapport building and a lower learning curve.

Adherence to standards – The team of professionals being aware of the client’s standards and procedures ensures adherence to standards. The overall business knowledge of the client helps in understanding of client applications.

No Long-term investments – Being actually a branch of your business in Russia, DDC does not require any long-term commitments or up-front investments. But it saves you from a continuous headache about incorporation issues, legal fees, payroll, and legal compliance, long-term office leases.

Full Operation Control – You manage your DDC as if it were your local IT division. You have your development schedules and deliverables, which your DDC team adheres to.

Reasonable Expenses – You pay only for what you need and use – there are no hidden wasteful expenses. You are not paying for any overheads or administrative costs associated with establishing a DDC.

Flexible Pricing and Financing – DDC offers a very custom - friendly pricing practice with no hidden costs. You can choose among a variety of pricing models to suit your needs best.

Infrastructure – Companies often face the space crunch during the expansion process due the non-availability and cost of the same. The advent of Internet has made distance a non-issue especially in a low cost country like Russia.
