No upfront fee, no management surcharge, no equipment bill. [How the monthly fee is built](https://azendo.co/pricing/) ### The people we select We test culture, mindset and hard skills before anyone joins a client team.

Mikkel Schmidt came to Chiang Mai from Denmark in 2010 and started a small agency called VSI GROUP. It grew into a company that builds offshore development teams for long-term product work, and in 2022 it became Azendo, from the Latin _ascendo_, to climb. Today we're around a hundred people in our offices, a floor in Chiang Mai and a second office in Bangkok, all on our equipment. Azendo is BOI-registered in Thailand. 2010 Founded in Chiang Mai, Thailand 16 years Expertise and experience 2 Offices Chiang Mai & Bangkok > “We believe in direct and honest communication, and we own what we promise.” > > [**Mikkel Schmidt**](https://azendo.co/about/mikkel-schmidt/), CEO and founder ## Latest from the newsroom.

What is an offshore development team? An offshore development team is a group of developers in another country who work on your product as part of your team. Ours work full time for one client, from our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and we manage them day to day. You pay one fixed monthly fee, and our people stay with us 3.3 years on average. Are you a staffing company or a software development company? An offshore software development company. We deliver staffing and staff augmentation for tech roles as a fully managed service. Our developers work full time on your product, and we take care of the people: the managing, the training and the workplace. You set the priorities. You don't manage individuals. How is this different from a project agency? An agency builds a project, hands it over and moves on. Our teams stay. The same offshore developers work on your product month after month, and everything they learn stays with you. Who does the work? Named developers in our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, full time on your product. You always know exactly who is on your team. See how we pick them when you [hire offshore developers](https://azendo.co/hire-a-dedicated-development-team-in-thailand/). Who manages the offshore development team? We do. We manage the people day to day, and your service delivery manager checks in with you every two weeks. You decide what gets built. What happens if a developer leaves? We find and onboard the replacement, and your product keeps moving. Good documentation keeps the knowledge in more than one head, and your service delivery manager plans the handover with you. How is it priced? One fixed monthly fee for an agreed number of hours, the same every month. We'll quote it after a short scoping call. How quickly can you hire our team? Our time to hire is four weeks from signing. You meet the developers before anyone is assigned. Nothing is paid before their first working day, and if we can't find the right people in the agreed window, you walk away at no cost. Can we add other roles later? Yes. Add QA, DevOps, design or data people as the product grows, under the same agreement as the rest of your offshore development team. Can the team work remotely inside our own tools? Yes, that's how every team works. Your remote team joins your Slack or Teams, your repos, your tickets and your sprint rituals. Only the people on your team get credentials, and the code is always yours. Is this the right model for us? It's made for companies with a product that keeps growing and plans that run for years. The longer you build, the more it pays off, because the same people stay on it. Still comparing? [staff augmentation vs managed services](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/staff-augmentation-vs-managed-services/) puts the two side by side. ## Which offshore software team model fits your business and your software projects? There is more than one way to add developers abroad, and the right one depends on how much of the managing you want to keep. Here is how the options differ and where each one leads. ## Adding offshore developers to a team you already run Adding one or two people to a team you lead yourself is staff augmentation. In its plain form the managing lands on you, which by our estimate takes four to eight hours of your week per person. Our [IT staff augmentation services](https://azendo.co/services/it-staff-augmentation-services/) don't just deliver the extra capacity. We assign highly talented developers, under our management, to work alongside your internal team. We handle the HR, the day-to-day management, the ongoing training, the 1:1 meetings, the coaching and much more, so you don't have to. You focus on your business, your projects and your clients, and we manage the people. That way we each do what we're good at, and your business can grow. It fits when someone on your side can set priorities and review the work. If you'd rather hand over a job with a fixed scope, that's a different offer, further down. ## Building a whole offshore development team in Thailand When the plan is a team of its own, [offshore IT staffing](https://azendo.co/services/offshore-it-staffing/) is the route. We headhunt for your stack and hire the people for you; nobody comes from a bench. They work from our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok on premium equipment, with colleagues and managers around them, and our Academy keeps training them. Every other week we go through the deliveries with you. Our time to hire is four weeks from signing. It fits a product you'll keep building for years, because the people we assign stay on it. A short job with a clear end is better bought as a project. ## Offshore software developers without employing them yourself With [IT outstaffing services](https://azendo.co/services/it-outstaffing-services/) the developers work in your team while we stay their employer. Contracts, salary, payroll, benefits and leave are our job. So is each person's growth: a Talent Success manager, a development plan built every quarter and a well-being check-in every two weeks. It fits when you want engineers in Thailand without setting up a company there. If you'd rather employ them yourself, this isn't for you: everyone we assign is on our payroll. ## People in one area, such as QA, DevOps or data engineering Most teams start with developers and add QA, DevOps, data, design or AI people as the product grows. Each service area has its own page with roles and prices, starting with a dedicated software development team. One or two people is enough to start, and the service agreement is tailored to the monthly hours you need. ## AI software development and automation as a project That is what our AI services are for. We take on [AI software development services](https://azendo.co/ai-services/ai-software-development-services/) as fixed-scope builds and MVPs, and as an [AI automation agency](https://azendo.co/ai-services/ai-automation-agency/) we put AI agents to work in your operations. Every engagement starts with a discovery meeting where we scope it together, and scope, model and price are agreed before work starts. It fits when you can describe what you need built. A product that will keep changing for years is team work. ## What offshore developers cost per month A team comes at one fixed monthly fee for an agreed capacity. A junior developer starts from USD 2,200 a month, full time. That covers the salary, the office and equipment, training and coaching, HR and payroll, and the people who manage the team. There is no upfront fee. Seniority changes the price, and your proposal states it. See how the monthly fee is built. ## Setting up offshore software development yourself, or through us The guide on how to hire dedicated developers lays out both routes, hiring abroad on your own and doing it through us. Doing it yourself fits when you already have a company, an office and recruiters in the country. If you don't, that setup is what our fee replaces. And [how it works](https://azendo.co/how-it-works/) shows our four steps, from the first call to a team in your sprints. ## Let's talk. We're always up for a quick talk. Ask us how we run managed software teams, how our pricing works, or something else entirely. You'll get a straight answer from a real person. * No deposit and no upfront fee * No commitment until the right people are on your team * If we can't find them inside the agreed window, you walk away at no cost Mikkel Schmidt and John Mark, the people you would talk to.
