What We Do

Outsourced Development

XIB employs Agile development methodology as it supports flexible, rapid and iterative work cycles that allow the team to respond to the business needs as they are more fully understood. The results are solutions that last. Medium to long-term engagement where we gradually build up a team to service the requirements of the customer. The development process is managed by us and in essence becomes an extension of the customer development capability as a managed service, where we match the velocity of the team with the customer’s requirements.

The aim is to build up and maintain the skills needed to continue with development as well as support the implemented solutions. The customer is protected from the volatility of the development process and support costs, and we expect a planned development pipeline to manage the risk.

It is important that the design of the solution takes into account that it should be cheap to support as well as easy to maintain. We build solutions to last and provide an upgrade path to the customer in order to keep their solution current.

In a nutshell: we provide the customer with the ability to scale their development effort in a controlled and non-volatile manner.  

The factors we take into account are as follows:

• Picking the framework/technologies that are best suited to the customer’s requirements and environment, and ensuring that all development efforts remain true to that technology stack.
• Keeping the technology stack up to date as well as the relevant development skills by adjusting the stack on a yearly or bi-yearly cycle.
• Following an agile, iterative development methodology that focusses on delivering the most important use cases as soon as possible in order for the customer to provide feedback as well as the flexibility to prioritise use cases assigned to each sprint.
