“Software Factory” ABAP – JAVA Netweaver

Capitalizing on our extensive experience as SAP Developers, we started operating in 2004 an ABAP / JAVA Netweaver Software Factory.
The "software factory" concept aims to offer software design, development, testing, maintenance and QA services to companies worldwide, locating working teams in the provider's own development center.
A software factory relies both on fluid human interaction and high-speed data communications, to perform as an extension of customer's own staff.
Teknoda Software Factory combines our well established strengths in the ABAP area, with state-of-the-art software methodology, hardware resources, teamwork capabilities and customer interaction.

Why would a company use a Software Factory outsourcing model?

• It highly optimizes outsourcing costs by reducing resources mobility and relocation expenses.
• It benefits from "economy of scale" advantages in the use of technical expertise, project leading capabilities, hardware platform and software tools.
• It enables business between a customer and a geographically distant provider, hence taking advantage of competive pricing and excellent technical expertise available in off-shore locations.
• It allows to build and maintain over the time, a solid and stable relationship between customer and vendor, delivering a reliable and cost effective outsourcing option.
