We provide dedicated, agile, managed, outsourced, software development team, to our clients, either to muscle-up & supplement their own internal development team, or to supply a complete delivery team for a given project.

Most cases will fall under one of the two following formulas:

• dedicated agile maintenance team set-up to take-over the maintenance or evolution of an existing web/mobile application
• dedicated agile product launch team to launch a brand new web / mobile product concept

In all cases Pantha Corp agile software development service is all-inclusive, with :

• Project manager (Scrum master)
• Business analyst(s)
• Tester(s)
• Developers
• [optionally] Web graphic designer
• [optionally] Interaction designer, user experience consultant

While our project management, business analysis, web & interaction designer and quality assurance services remain close to our clients (culturally, linguistically and, if possible, geographically), our software development operation is set offshore (China and India).

The Pantha Corp team has a strong experience in e-commerce & marketplaces, content portals, classified listing websites, travel planning application and iPhone application development. 
Our development teams support a number of programming languages (C#/ .NET, PHP, Java, Objective-C, Coldfusion, C++, Actionscript, Ruby On Rails, Flex) and web development standards/ frameworks (XHTML, CSS, JS, AJAX, Flash). 

We have acquired strong expertise in the implementation of major open-source software solutions such as Magento , eZ Publish & eZ components, Sugar CRM and blog software such as MovableType 4 , Expression Engine and WordPress.

Our agile methodology (SCRUM) is used all throughout the execution of the project.

Solving the common challenges of outsourcing

Issues		Solutions
Communication (language & mis-understood culture codes)	>	We share your culture and language, thus bridging the gap to offshoring supplier
Time difference	>	On site (or on your local time) availability of business analyst, web and interaction designer and project manager
Cultural gaps	>	Tested partner in China and long-time partner in India, having built up a strong anc actionable trust relationship
Remote management, (lack-of) best practises	>	Consolidation of learnings across clients, e-collaboration tools (voice, video, whiteboards, intranet, day-to-day tracking)

Bridging the remoteness with appropriate e-collaboration tools and clearly defined project communication.
