What is dedicated software development teams?
A dedicated software development team is a group of engineers, testers, designers and a delivery lead assigned full time to one client, working on that client's priorities over months or years. It differs from a fixed-price project, which delivers a defined scope, and from staff augmentation, which adds individual specialists to an existing team. TechTiera provides dedicated teams with onshore leadership in the USA and offshore delivery from India and Asia Pacific, along with individual specialists through its talent solutions practice.
