Specialisms

Satisfying the intrinsic needs of developers is challenging. We decided to select the best projects; only this way we can build happy teams for many many years... We have to say no to potentially lucrative clients if the working environment is not optimal. We can only be a relevant partner for clients who truly understand how good products are built. Quality is everything

Quality above profitability

Before we start our cooperation we do a deep analysis of the product, code, roadmap, team, development process and more. Based upon that we suggest profiles that exactly match the DNA or our clients. The whole onboarding process usually takes 8 - 12 weeks. Only this way we have built well balanced teams that stayed with clients for more than 5 years.

We are in this for the long run

Even though we would love to experiment with the newest & fanciest technologies; we only use proven ones that guarantee the maximum business value. We don’t like to undertake risks; this has backfired on us many times in the past. We deliver proven & rock-solid technology that can scale.

Business Value First!

We used to call our business: nearshoring. But in a post-covid world where remote work is here to stay; we are not different from some of your local - but remote - colleagues in The Netherlands. Poland is not that far; we can visit your office tomorrow if needed. KLM will take us to Amsterdam within 2 hours. _Do zobaczenia jutro!_

We can be in your office; tomorrow

We know our chores after 20 years and learned that building a successful company takes more than a repository of fancy code. We know how financing works and through what cycles your company will go. We burned our own fingers many times and developed solid knowledge and processes. We are here to help and share our experiences and network with you.


We understand startups & entrepreneurs

Hard skills, the right capabilities and decent experience are essential for a successful cooperation. But we learned that soft skills (communication, critical thinking, problem solving, etc..) are probably more important to create successful teams. Therefore we started our own Amsterdam Standard Academy. We constantly keep investing in the growth of our people. 

Soft-skills above hard-skills

You might be interested in how we get our partnership going? This is how the different steps of our process look like:

First we get to know each other via an online call or during a coffee in our office in Amsterdam, or on your location. If we feel that there is a good match we proceed to the Discovery Call.

Introduction talks

The Discovery Call is about your product, technology stack, team and ambitious plans. We use this session as a technical verification to see if we will be able to deliver you a successful team. Shortly after this call we share our findings and we will inform you if we can continue together.

Discovery call (1-2 hours)

Once we continue we sign our Master Services Agreement (still non-binding) and we start our internal & external candidate search. Together we define the acceptance process & criteria. Usually this consists of one interview with the client and two with our HR-staff. Code-challenges are optional. During the Sourcing process we also negotiate the exact rates.

The sourcing process

Once the candidates are accepted and the Statement of Work is signed; we plan the Kick-off meeting. This is organized by the Project and Delivery Managers. The onboarding process will be discussed in detail with you, and during the first weeks we keep a close eye on the cooperation to make this as successful as possible.


Kick-Off meeting

Shortly after the kick-off we plan a first get together for you & your new team. Deep bonding is crucial for good cooperation. Our teams visit their new client in the Netherlands within the first 4 weeks after they start. We keep seeing each other 4 times per year (at least), and you are very welcome in Poland where you can work from one of our 4 offices! 

Get together(s)

During the ongoing daily development you will be in direct contact with your team and your Project Manager. The work is organized in a Scrum or Kanban process; adapted to your existing workflow. Wherever we can, we will assist you to optimize your tooling, processes and quality.

Development

Your happiness, but of course also the happiness of our developers is key for you. We keep talking and evaluating with everyone to see where things can be improved to keep the job interesting, productive and enjoyable. 

Constant evaluations

We understand that companies grow and sometimes - for various reasons - need to scale down their activities. Our Delivery Managers stay in close contact with you to discuss your future needs and act accordingly. 


Scaling up & down

Does this sound interesting to you? Let’s discuss your needs. We are here to think with you and explore the opportunity of team augmentation.

When we started our team augmentation services in 2012 we were one of the few evangelists out there who understood the opportunity and started pioneering with this solution. We still had to preach to our prospects that setting up a remote team in Poland would be the best strategic decision possible to achieve their goals. Nowadays it is hard to imagine that product companies only work with local teams. Research in 2022 showed that 82% of the Saas businesses located a part of their product team in another country. Some of the most successful companies out there even adjusted into a worldwide Full Remote strategy. Good talent is scarce: maximize your changes by setting up a remote team..
