DataArt Experts

DataArt provides expert teams, headed by Group Leaders assigned to each project. Each team member is responsible for his/her own assigned task - from architecture to testing without being micromanaged by the team leader. We've mastered the art of remote teams working seamlessly together.

Motivation is key. Most excellent developers actually enjoy working on challenging projects. It is a management challenge to create an environment where tough deadlines are not a constant stress generator, but rather an ambitious goal and a source of pride when the task is accomplished.
 

Unique Communication Process for Outsourcing Projects

We believe the concept of grid computing, taking cost-efficient components, connecting them in a smart way and achieving performance better than an expensive monolithic system, works great when applied to communications between distributed teams in software outsourcing. The right-cost components must be "wired" together in a special way to be efficient - and if done right, performance will improve dramatically.
