We live in an era when acquiring IT professionals to your company becomes difficult, especially in the case of talented software developers. Even if you already have an existing team of well-adjusted engineers, further expansion and finding the right people for the job might become close to impossible.

In Makimo we don’t believe that simply adding a new person to an existing team is enough. Therefore, we prefer augmenting you not with just individuals but rather small teams (between 1–2 FTE/month, with 2–3 usually involved in the process) that have already worked together in the past. We call that approach Software Development Fractional Teams or FFTE – Fractional Full Time Equivalent. That way your managers will only need to manage integrity between the two teams and the bottom line is that the resulting team will perform faster, at the same time keeping costs at bay, with minimal overhead on the management.

Furthermore, our company culture empowers each team to tap into additional areas of expertise within the company when it proves beneficial to the client. We support and encourage knowledge transfer so that teams do not become siloed working on a particular project for a longer period of time. In consequence, it helps us deliver more consistent results to our clients.
