You get the engineers without having to hire or employ anyone yourself. By our estimate, managing offshore developers on your own costs a team lead four to eight hours every week for each person. We take that part over, so your team lead keeps those hours for the product. The priorities and the code stay in your hands. | | Your own setup abroad | A plain provider | Azendo in Thailand | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Where the team works | Wherever you set it up | Depends on the provider | Our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok | | Equipment and IT | You buy and support it | Depends on the provider | Included, with device management | | Employment and payroll | A local entity of yours | The provider | Azendo, BOI-registered in Thailand | | Delivery follow-up | You | You | Our delivery manager and Friday scores | | How you pay | Salaries, office and setup costs | A provider rate | One fixed monthly fee, management included | * Azendo in Thailand. Azendo employs the team, seats it in our Thai offices and gives it a service delivery manager, all for one monthly fee for agreed hours. You score delivery every Friday. * A plain provider. The provider employs the people. Where they sit and how delivery is followed up depend on the provider and on you. * Your own setup abroad. You set up an entity, an office and payroll abroad, then recruit and manage the team yourself. > Azendo delivered great service. The team developed SaaS platforms that support all-in-one digital fire safety solutions, delivering the web app alongside native iOS and Android apps. The system centralizes fire plans, drawings, legal requirements, ownership mapping, and much more. Workflows were designed around how construction teams, facility managers, and technicians actually operate on-site, streamlining what was previously scattered across paper and disconnected systems. **Morten Kjærgaard Myrup**Managing director, E-fire > We were initially skeptical about the outsourcing industry, but our experience with Azendo, along with their level of competence and professionalism, has completely changed our perspective. We have successfully collaborated with Azendo on several projects over the past 2 years. **Adrian Ravn Nielsen**Managing director, NordicWorkflow NordicWorkflow ## Try offshore IT staffing at zero risk. * No deposit * No upfront fee * No commitment ## Choosing between offshore staffing companies. With offshore IT staffing, the country sets the working hours you share. The provider decides the rest: who employs the team, where it sits and how fast you hear about a problem. ## Where offshore IT staffing works best. It works best on products that run for years. Think of a platform with a steady backlog, an app with regular releases, or a system that needs new features and upkeep together. The longer the same people stay on the code, the more of your context they carry. Ours stay 3.3 years on average. It is a weaker fit for work that changes direction every few days or depends on being in the room, such as early discovery with users on site. ## What to compare in software offshore staffing. * **Time zone.** How many working hours you share each day, in summer and in winter. * **Setup.** Whether people work from a provider office or from home, and who supplies the equipment. * **Legal footing.** How the provider is registered locally, and who carries employment law. * **Follow-up.** How the provider measures delivery and how often you hear from them. * **Length of stay.** How long people usually stay, because turnover is where context gets lost.

Outsourcing buys a finished result: a vendor takes a scope and delivers it. Offshore staffing adds people to your own team, so the priorities and the code stay with you. Either way, ask where your code and data live, who holds access and how that access is removed when someone leaves. Most of the legal and security risk sits there. ## Offshore staffing services for software, not back offices. The phrase covers a wide market, from call centres and administration to engineering. For a software product, look for offshore staffing solutions built around engineers. That means technical assessment before anyone joins, training that continues afterwards, and a workplace set up for development. If you want developers added to a team you already run, our page on [IT staff augmentation](https://azendo.co/services/it-staff-augmentation-services/) covers that route. [IT outstaffing](https://azendo.co/services/it-outstaffing-services/) covers engineers who join your team while we stay the employer. ## Getting started with software offshore staffing. A good first step is small: one or two developers on a well-defined part of the product. Agree a shared definition of done and take a weekly look at what shipped. Once that rhythm holds, adding the next role is a smaller decision. Pick work with a clear owner on your side, so the new people always know who to ask. ## Offshore staffing solutions from Thailand. The engineers on your team work from real offices, with colleagues and managers around them. Our headquarters has been in Chiang Mai since 2010, and the second office is in Bangkok, on the 20th floor of JL Tower. Around a hundred people work across the two, and our [Talent Success and Academy](https://azendo.co/talent-success-academy/) programme trains every specialist in AI. Azendo is BOI-registered in Thailand. ## Making offshore IT staffing work across distance. Remote teams across time zones work when the priorities are written down. Define what done means for each piece of work, keep one shared backlog, and agree which hours are for live conversation and which for focused work. Record decisions in writing as well as in calls. Done well, the time difference works for you: a question raised at the end of your day is picked up in the team's morning. ## Offshore IT staffing, answered. What is offshore IT staffing? Offshore IT staffing gives you developers and engineers in another country who work full time on your product. With Azendo they sit in our Chiang Mai and Bangkok offices, we employ them, and a service delivery manager reviews delivery with you every two weeks. How are offshore staffing services priced? Per person, as one monthly fee for an agreed capacity in hours. Junior DevOps and cloud engineers start from USD 2,400, data engineers from USD 2,500 and AI engineers from USD 3,100, fully managed. Mid-level and senior people are quoted in your proposal. Who employs the people? We do. Azendo is the legal employer in Thailand, so contracts, salaries, benefits and leave are ours to handle. The people are dedicated to you full time and work on your product only. Why Thailand? Thailand has a fast-growing pool of well-trained engineers, and in our experience there is less competition for the best of them here. The Thai working day overlaps with a European morning and an Australian afternoon. The team also sits together in our offices, close to the people who manage and train it. How many working hours do we share with the team? Enough for a standup and reviews every day, from Europe and from Australia. Thailand runs on UTC+7: five hours ahead of Northern Europe in summer and six in winter, and three to four hours behind Sydney. A European morning meets the Thai afternoon, and an Australian afternoon meets the Thai morning. Which stacks do your offshore teams work in? Whatever yours runs on. There is no bench of people waiting for work, so we search for the stack and the level your product needs, niche ones included. Can we begin with a small team? Yes. A single developer or a pair is a fine start, and more roles join as your backlog grows. Do the specialists work from home? Some of the time. Most team members work hybrid. They spend most of the week in our offices and can work from home two days a week, always through a secure VPN. Who owns the code? You do, and the plans and the priorities are yours too. The work happens in your repositories and accounts, with the access you grant the team. You can reach every team member directly on Slack or Teams, and most clients do so daily. ## Plan your offshore IT staffing. Share the roles you want to hire and your stack. You hear back within one business day, and a team proposal with the monthly fee follows. * 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.
