Operating Models

A dedicated project team is a group of engineers and specialists that can deliver an end-to-end technology solution. Pi Tech may staff frontend developers, backend developers, architects, data analysts/scientists, designers, project managers, DevOps, and more. We customize the team to solve your specific needs. They parachute in and out as needed to help you make progress. The team can work independently from your in-house teams. Pi Tech manages the dedicated team and showcases their progress weekly to ensure we are building the products to your requirements.

Staff Augmentation offers businesses the opportunity to find a temporary or permanent solution for difficult to fill positions. Or, perhaps you need a person to complete a set of tasks but don’t want to make a full time hire. With Pi Tech staff augmentation, you can increase scalability and efficiency in development of your organization’s goals. Our engineers become a part of your team, attending your standups, and delivering on your cadence.

Pricing

Hiring the best software developers is expensive and difficult. They have to be well compensated, given their high skill level in demand today across all industries worldwide. This makes it even harder for companies who are trying hire them. Offshore development centers offer lower labor costs than onshore locations because they’re often located near countries where skilled programmers can be found at very low prices compared with US wages (e..g Brazil).

Offshore and nearshore developers can range from $20/hour to $200+/hour. The old adage applies, you get what you pay for. We know that every project is different, which means the cost will vary depending on a number of factors. Do you need just a design for an app, a clickable prototype to get investment or early customers, an end-to-end platform? The price will depend on the size and complexity of the project, and the skill level of the team required. You can consult with the Pi Tech team and talk through your software development project cost estimates. Contact us today!

Confidentiality & Ownership

We understand the importance of protecting your idea and want you to be confident in knowing that Pi Tech will always take proper care to protect your interests. That’s why every engagement begins with a mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The NDA is a written agreement to not disclose information and protect your patent rights or intellectual property rights. It also outlines the information you want to secure and the duration of the protection.

Pi Tech hands over the code and ownership of the application once completed and payment has been received. However, this is insufficient for protecting our client’s rights. We go one step further and specify in our contracts that the copyright for the works in the agreement are owned by the client. All such works or portions of works created by Pi Tech is “works made for hire” and we assign the right, title, and interest of the software to our clients.
