Introduction
What is DevTeam as a Service?
DevTeam as a Service is a customized software development service model that allows dynamic and on-demand allocation of development professionals.
Your company will have access to a complete team with all the professional profiles that a software project demands: project managers, business analysts, designers, database analysts, frontend and backend developers, mobile developers, devOps and infrastructure and security specialists, as well as QA analysts, all at mid-senior or senior experience level.
You are the one to define the number of monthly service hours, and we will allocate the professional profile that your project demands in the current week or development sprint. This way, unlike a traditional body shop model, you have a more efficient allocation, resulting in a higher ROI than the market average.
By hiring DevTeam as a Service, your company will have super-qualified professionals working solely to achieve your business goals.

Also called Project, this delivery type consists of Softo’s clients presenting a problem they wish to solve through customized software. With a software project in mind, we take on the demands as we also handle the allocation internally. The clients will have access to any professional category their project may require. We make the magic of flexible allocation happen!
Staff augmentation
Clients with internal development teams have the opportunity to expand them with ours in a flexible way. Our team participates in your team’s day-to-day activities, such as meetings, while using their project and task management tools. Resources are managed and the hired number of hours can also be used for on-demand allocations of any other professional category in Softo’s team.
