Cooperation
Sigmax has chosen for the Bridge office in Odessa, Ukraine, because we had highly skilled programmers available. Also the distance between Odessa and Enschede can be travelled within half a day.
The first developer for the Sigmax team, has visited the Sigmax office in Holland to get a training. After a short period, two more developers have been added to the team. When they joined the team, the project manager and director of Sigmax took the plane to discuss the processes with the programmers.
In the meanwhile, the team consists of 4 Ukrainian developers and the ambition is to grow the team to 15-20 developers in the next 2 years. The offshore cooperation enables Sigmax to deliver projects faster, add team members easier and also save costs.
Personal relation
There is daily contact between the developers/project leaders in Enschede and their colleagues in Odessa, so a strong relationship is growing. Of course, also private discussion are held. This way, the team gets into the ‘Sigmax-family’. A few weeks ago, all 4 developers were invited to come to Holland to join the Sigmax company’s year-party. End of September, Tatyana, Roman, Daniel and Anton flew to Maastricht for a weekend.
Here they got an introduction to the Dutch way of partying and teambuilding. Satisfied, the colleagues went home after the weekend.
