Sphere Consulting

Our people: Our teams have much lower turnover than industry averages, helping keep unexpected project costs to a minimum. Furthermore, the team members themselves are quite productive, since we pick experienced individuals with 90% average Brainbench scores. With talented people, individuals can be empowered to make more decisions, removing potential delays.

No lock-in: We believe that our clients should only use our services only as long we provide significant value. To that end, we plan on how we will transition the software to the client from day one. So at any point throughout the project, the client is able to take the development in house.

Leverage your resources: Our flexibility allows us to make the most of the client’s employees who can devote time to the project. Besides working closely on a daily basis with the users and stakeholders, we often incorporate client employees into our development team. Our approach of incremental improvements often results in reusing components of existing systems when possible, rather than building from everything scratch.

Offshore pricing: Our combination of offshore and local resources produces the best value for your technology investment. It results in the cost advantages of offshore with the faster delivery and lower risk advantages of a local consultancy.

Low up-front investment: By delivering the highest value features first, the client gets a lot of value for a low up-front investment.

Accurate progress status: By having frequent or even continuous software delivery, we eliminate any question as to the accuracy of project progress.

Meeting business need: And by striving for frequent feedback from users, we reduce the risk that the final product will not meet business needs.

Fixed price: Where possible and desired by client, we work on fixed price projects, essentially taking on the risk for cost overruns and miscalculations. This also helps clients budget with more certainty.

Open books: We give our clients access to the same collaboration tools used internally by our development team, providing full visibility into project progress and even team communication.
