Initially, Flexisource IT provided competent people for the various positions that needed to be filled immediately. We supplied our client’s top-notch dedicated team of software developers from seasoned experts in the Philippines. 

The client initially hired software, mobile, and web developers to develop and improve their product.

But as development continued, the client saw the need for additional staff and sought Flexisource IT’s help to recruit experts that fit their requirements. Likewise, Flexisource IT trained, recruited, and appointed more experts, including Quality Assurance specialists and Operation specialists, to deploy to the client.

We provide skilled IT project managers who are well-versed in development and IT skills.

As the dedicated offshore manager, he supervised the team’s progress – connecting with the team and solving blockers that arose.

Flexisource IT Improvements

The project did help the client and had a relative effect on the company’s employees and management. 

The monthly visibility report made our developers better in task management. It has effectively increased the efficiency of team members as it identified if a developer is having a hard time on a task based on their length spent monthly. It also helped the manager identify blockers, leading to team collaboration as other developers try to help and support each other.
