How We Work: Onshore/Offshore Teams

On-Demand Team

You have project-oriented work with a defined scope and timeline.

• You need temporary access to Salesforce consultants or a technical delivery team.
• Our team takes on more control and responsibility for the successful delivery of the project.
• Best when there is no formal project roadmap for continuous development over time.
• Great when implementing specialized products like Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM.

Dedicated Team

You need a technical delivery team for an extended duration.

• An alternative to hiring short or long-term Salesforce admins, and developers internally.
• The client assumes the responsibility for team direction and development goals/objectives.
• Continuity of resources provides cost savings.
• Can be implemented as a virtual extension to an existing internal development team or as a complete team.

Fractional Team

It is our budget-friendly and innovative hiring model that helps our clients amplify all the benefits of the Dedicated Team model and get:

• A mix of dedicated resources for a fraction of time (10%, 25%, 50%) tailored to the project’s changing needs.
• An adjustable monthly service package that can be modified over time with no long-term commitments.
• Ability to compose various experts in the team based on the project’s changing needs and necessary workload.

How We Stay Productive Across Different Locations

To ensure the company’s continuous growth across all locations and meet all our commitments to clients, Ascendix has developed a set of best practices that we diligently follow:

• We keep our distributed offices aligned through instant messaging and videoconferencing daily and weekly.
• We have a flexible working hours policy to achieve the maximum overlap in business hours (our offshore offices start at 10–11 am and that creates a 5-6 hours overlap with our Dallas-based division).
• We conduct regular team-building activities to strengthen the culture of our shared values and goals.
• All developers from Ukraine work from safe locations.
• We extra resources in the development process of our customers’ projects as a backup free of charge, so you can rest assured that the work is progressing forward even in case of force majeure.
• All clients’ sensitive data and code are encrypted and saved in the cloud.
