[Home](https://azendo.co/) 2. About # A software development company built in Thailand since 2010. Azendo was founded in Thailand in 2010 by Danish founder [Mikkel Schmidt](https://azendo.co/about/mikkel-schmidt/), and we've built here ever since. You'll find our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and every specialist on your team works from our floor, on our equipment. ## Dedicated software teams in every service area. We build dedicated offshore teams that work on your product full time. That covers software and mobile development, AI engineering, QA and test automation, cloud and DevOps, data engineering and UX/UI design, in one area or several combined into one team. In staffing terms, it's [offshore staffing](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/offshore-staffing/) and [staff augmentation](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/staff-augmentation/) for tech roles, delivered as a fully managed service. [See every service area →](https://azendo.co/services/) ## Who we work with. We work with C-level executives and heads of department at companies that need to grow their software team faster than local hiring allows. Every team comes with a service delivery manager, quality standards agreed at the start and a fixed monthly capacity you can plan around. ## A Danish-led company in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai and Bangkok give us a deep pool of software talent, a working day that overlaps with the European morning, and a cost base that lets us offer a fixed monthly capacity instead of billing by the hour. Our Danish roots shape how we communicate: directly, and accountable for what we agree to. The full picture is on why we deliver from Thailand. ## What we value is who we are. Six principles that hold in good times and hard ones. They shape how we lead, how we treat each other and how we show up for our partners. ### Humans first, resources after We care about the people we work with and the people we serve. Results and performance matter, just never at the expense of the humans delivering them. ### Communication is our oxygen Consistent, clear and purposeful communication, with a service delivery manager who tells you early when something is off track. No relationship survives without it. ### We are proudly customer obsessed Our customers are our partners. We only succeed when they do, so every team starts from the partner's needs, challenges and ambitions. ### We play as a dream team Every team member has a role that matters to the outcome, the way each player matters on a team. We push each other to be better, and back each other when it counts. ### We lead with frihed under ansvar "With great freedom comes great responsibility." Freedom and responsibility stay in balance, so our people own their commitments instead of being watched. ### Challenging the status quo is in our DNA We don’t settle for "good enough." We look for the specialists and ideas that push a partner’s product further than the brief asked for. [More on our values →](https://azendo.co/our-values/) ## Where your team works.

We started as VSI GROUP and rebranded to Azendo in 2022, taking the name from the Latin _ascendo_, to climb. The company is Danish-led, which shows most in how directly we report on progress. We're around a hundred people across two offices: small enough that the founder still takes scoping calls, and large enough to have a lead in the same field behind every specialist. Azendo is BOI-registered, the framework that allows foreign-owned technology companies to operate in Thailand. The company behind your agreement is a fully registered Thai company. Today we're an [offshore software development company](https://azendo.co/) building dedicated teams for partners across software development, QA, design, data and AI, with teams built for products that keep growing for years. ## Questions about Azendo. Who is behind Azendo? Azendo was founded in Thailand and is Danish-led, with offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok and around a hundred people. Our engineers stay with us for 3.3 years on average, which keeps product knowledge in your team. Who employs the developers on our team? The dedicated developers on your team are Azendo employees, with a service delivery manager, a lead in their field and the Talent Success team behind them. When do companies come to Azendo? Partners usually come to us when they have more to build than their own team can deliver and they want a managed team, with no extra people to manage. At that point, the choice between staff augmentation and a managed service decides who spends their week coordinating. ## Let's talk about what you want to build. Thirty minutes with a service delivery manager. You'll leave with a clear picture of the team you'd need, what it would deliver and how we would hire it in four weeks.
