When you engage us to provide you with a Flex Squad, you get the benefits of dealing with a specialist agency, providing consistent quality, integrated with the specific needs of your business, products and teams in a tailored way.

Presto and Optimation combined has significant experience delivering quality software using a hybrid offshore approach, leveraging our local specialists working in unison with our offshore development team based in the Philippines. (blending in your team)

We have designed our approach to get you the results you need while reducing the typical barriers and risks to working offshore.

Risk mitigation

Partnering with teams that possess a deep understanding of the risks, having been through similar journeys, who are well-prepared to proactively minimize potential issues, ensuring a smooth path forward.

Assessing specialised expertise

Tapping into unique, specialised or legacy skillsets that may not be readily available within your organisation or even within New Zealand.

Cost efficiency

Exploring various options, such as on-demand resource, adopting a disciplined and streamlined approach (to move faster or leaner), adding options to seamlessly blend offshore and onshore resources.

Local Governance and Support

Managing offshore development effectively requires a considered approach and oversight. We apply both delivery and technical governance both onshore and offshore to all our work to ensure that the results meet your requirements and are delivered productively.

Offshore Delivery Management

In addition to our local governance team, we have a dedicated Agile Delivery Manager based with the team in the Philippines who monitors and supports their activity. Having someone within the Philippines ensures issues are identified and remediated immediately whenever the team are working.

Long Term Flexibility

Where you commit to a hybrid squad (5 or more FTE) we offer the ability to change the makeup of the team with as little as 1 Sprint’s notice. The makeup of the team is monitored continuously and can be refined quickly to match the evolving nature of the work.

Our People Guarantee

We back the quality of our people and have in place rigorous processes for the selection and ongoing professional development of all our team members. In the unlikely event you’re not happy with the work of a team member, then let us know month and we’ll not charge you for any of their time and provide you with a replacement to take over the assignment.
