The duration of a software product engineering project depends heavily on its scope. The scope, in turn, is determined by the product’s desired feature set, target platforms and devices, selected tech stack, and its overall complexity.

Therefore, it’s impossible to estimate a project duration without discussing the product first. If you’d like to know how fast we can have your specific product ready for launch, we strongly encourage you to contact us and discuss your product idea with our experts.

Overall, a software product development project consists of five main phases:

• Product ideation, requirement discovery and project planning

• UI/UX design and prototyping

• Developing and testing

• Product rollout

• Maintenance and monitoring

We can do both. We provide outsourcing and team augmentation services so that you can choose the engagement model that suits your needs best. We also offer software product engineering consulting services if you require expert guidance in product ideation or tech stack selection.

Our engagement models include:

• Managed delivery. We offer three managed delivery models: autonomous squads, application ownership, and application portfolio ownership. These models vary in the distribution of roles and responsibilities between the client and the vendor. You can learn more about selecting the right managed delivery model in our guide

• Team augmentation. We supplement your in-house team with our experts to expand your development capabilities and help you promptly bridge the talent gap

Our product engineering services include the full range of ongoing support after the product’s deployment. If you prefer to allocate your resources elsewhere instead of dedicating them to support of maintenance, we’ll take on:

• Security and compliance. We’ll adapt your product to new regulatory requirements and help you stay one step ahead of security threats with regular testing and updates

• Proactive maintenance. We’ll pinpoint potential performance, scalability, and other issues and address them before they become a problem. We’ll also ensure your product continues to use an up-to-date tech stack to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain performance

• Continuous improvement. We’ll enhance your product with feature updates to help it evolve together with your business. Besides your business needs, we also take into account customer feedback to upgrade your product and drive user engagement

All intellectual property rights for the products we develop remain with our clients. Before you engage our product engineering services, we discuss the most suitable way to protect your rights as the client. The intellectual property rights are outlined in detail in the contractual documents we sign with our clients before starting the development process.

To protect your intellectual property from exposure to unauthorized parties, we sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and other confidentiality agreements. We also securely handle your sensitive data, including trade secrets, with robust access controls, data encryption, and regular security audits.

With offices across 28 countries, we can also help you navigate the peculiarities of the software IP regulations in multiple jurisdictions.
