A flexible, fast, and innovative software development team can be challenging to build – and so, the Altrad Services Australian entity chose to augment their local team with experts from Mitrais to give them the scaling capability required.
Altrad Services is a global entity specializing in industrial services, equipment, and products. They work in partnership with their clients to build, protect and extend the life of industrial assets, including things like scaffolding, rope access, and protective coatings – all key elements in the industrial, construction, and operations industries. Mitrais is proud to have assisted the Altrad Services Australian entity in providing excellence across their emerging software development team.
In 2019, Altrad’s Australian entity began to foster an internal software development capability, which introduced some scaling issues and delivery timeframe challenges. As a business whose core business is not software development, there are times when Altrad’s internal software engineering unit needs to fulfill technology requirements in a very short time to assist in their projects’ complex resource planning.
The complexities of software development and the ability to deliver quickly on technology projects led them to an augmented software development model. A model that Mitrais prides itself on providing.
We act as a team within your team, allowing you to work with the same developers with in-depth knowledge of your product and business to ensure consistency of work and a quality output every time. “We keep a lean [local] software development team that can be scaled up by adding members to deliver on time-sensitive targets,” says Asfar Sadewa, the Regional Business Systems Manager of APAC.
Armed with the knowledge that Southeast Asia produces a significant number of quality developers and having carefully scanned the market, Asfar could confidently choose Mitrais as the right company to augment his existing software development team. Our extensive experience with companies in APAC was the defining decision point on the choice of Mitrais as their trusted partner in software development for the Altrad Australian entity.
On their working relationship with Mitrais, Asfar states, “It allows our company to maintain a lean software development team while being able to target larger deliverables which usually involves a much larger unit.”
While creating an expanded team seamlessly is not the simplest of tasks, Mitrais is able to make it look easy. We provide a range of tools and channels to allow teams to collaborate remotely, allowing the augmented software development team to control and oversee the entire build.
Mitrais offers Altrad Services the expertise of our wide talent pool of developers across Southeast Asia, which continues to bring out the best in their local team. “A large expertise pool with very broad industrial coverage allows us to learn best practices and adapt to improve our internal teams,” says Asfar. By allowing Altrad to tackle larger deliverables and work on their continuous pipeline of innovative work in engineering and asset services, Mitrais is the perfect partner and perfectly complements the existing Altrad team.
By aligning our goals and expertise and being able to work flexibly with Altrad based on scope, requirements, and deliverables, Mitrais offers an agile approach to software development and team augmentation for Altrad. We look forward to continuing our partnership, innovation, and outputs for Altrad.
