Extended Development Teams for Enterprises

Extended teams are integrated members of your engineering organization, not external vendors. They attend your standups, follow your code standards, work your sprint cadence, and report through your existing line structure. You pay for capacity, not projects. Contractors are typically standalone; vendors deliver to a brief. Extended teams become part of your delivery infrastructure and evolve with your priorities.

Yes. The model is designed for flexibility. You scale developer headcount, QA capacity, or DevOps hours to match seasonal workload, product roadmap peaks, or hiring gaps. We work with you to plan changes, but the contract structure is month-to-month or quarterly, not tied to rigid long-term commitments.

Governance is baked into our delivery model. All team members undergo background checks per UK government standards. We provide SOC 2 Type II reports, maintain ISO 27001 certification, and align with your compliance frameworks (GDPR, Data Protection Act, industry-specific regulations). You define access levels, data handling rules, and audit requirements; we implement and evidence them consistently.

That's the core value of extended teams. You get access to specialists from across our UK, Spain, and Ukraine network without the cost of permanent senior hires. We rotate in expertise for specific initiatives (cloud migration, performance optimization, architecture review) or embed permanent specialists. You only pay for the time used.

Our Centre of Excellence maintains standards: code review gates, architecture decision logs, test coverage targets, and performance benchmarks that apply across all teams. Extended team members follow your coding standards and participate in your technical governance. We provide regular quality reports and highlight architectural debt or refactoring needs before they become critical.

Four to six weeks for full productivity, depending on codebase complexity. Week one covers your systems, tools, and team practices. By week two, they're in the sprint cycle. By week four, they're handling tickets with minimal review. We front-load technical onboarding and pair experienced team members with new arrivals to accelerate the ramp.
