Who are we and what do we offer? Summer 2011
Content • How are we? • What do we offer? • Why outsourcing? • What is “managed” outsourcing? • Why near-shoring? • Project Management • Intellectual Property and Copyright • Technologies
Wie zijn wij? • Jamaza bvba - Founded June 2008 • Managing Partners – Jason McMahon, Project Mgt. and Bus. Development – Manfred Van Ursel, Software Architect/CTO • More than 15 years experience in software and web development and remote management (USA, Russia, India and Belgium)
What do we offer? • Website en CMS implementation – Basic websites, web shops, knowledge sharing platforms, communities, SEO, Google, etc. • Custom Software Development – Online tools, iOS, infrastructure, etc. – See also Technologies... • Business Process Integration – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) – Customer Relationship Management (CRM) • Managed Outsourcing
Why outsourcing? • Grow your team quickly and flexibly • Add missing skills to your inhouse team • Provide cover for employees who are on holiday • Work on more projects and increase your profit margin • Reduce the workload on your and your key developers allowing your core to focus on the important stuff • Reduce your development costs by more than 40%
What is “managed” outsourcing? • Project managers and architects based in Gent, Belgie, take care of: – Communication – People management – Planning and follow-up • Experienced developers take care of the code (we only employ senior developers!) • You profit from the flexibility and cost effectiveness that outsourcing can bring but avoid the potential problems of working remotely
Why near-shoring? • We only work with partners in: – St Petersburg, Russia – Kiev, Ukraine • Advantages of this region: – The salary expectations for senior, experienced developers are much lower than in Europe – The time difference and travel time (it’s important to visit your remote team!) are negligible when compared to, e.g., India or China – All our developers speak English – Retention is very high • Our near-shore team is made up of senior developers with: – Univeristy education and at least 5 years experience – Experience of working remotely for companies such as Deutsche Bank, Borland, EMC, Altosoft, Eitzen Group, Saxo Bank, …
Project Management • We believe the best way to work is with good functional specifications combined with accurate planning and detailed testing. • We use the following methods: – Agile-methodology – Detailed functional specifications that have been approved by the customer before we begin work – Daily scrum meetings with our development team – All changes and development are done on our test servers and all code is available to our customers via our online version control system. – Finished work is only transferred to live servers following customer acceptance testing and approval
Intellectual Property and Confidentiality • We never use the names of our customers in marketing unless we have your explicit approval • We never include our own brand names or logos in any delivered work unless we have your explicit approval • Everything that we produce during a project is considered as “work for hire” and is your property at all times • We never re-use code between projects • All project source code, backups and other materials are kept in separate, project-specific accounts
Technologies • Some examples of technologies that we use on a regular basis: – Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, ... – Drupal, Joomla, DotNetNuke, ... – iOS, Android, BlackBerry OS, – MediaWiki, Confluence, ... Symbian, Palm OS, Bada, – Smarty, Zend Framework, Maemo/Meego, ... CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Yii, ... – PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Ruby, ... – Catalyst, Dancer, Interchange, – HTML, CSS, Javascript, ... Mason,... – XML, Ajax, XMLRPC, SOAP, ... – Apache Click/Cocooon/Struts/Wicket, – Oracle, SQL, MSsql, MySQL, Google Web Toolkit, ...
