Product Development

At FTT Software, we differentiate between Application and Product development. Product development to us is the development of software that is sold commercially either on its own or as a part of a larger product, such as a hardware device. The development approach and discipline is the same, but the final packing and delivery is slightly different. In addition, there are a few additional steps in the testing process. Organizations have turned to us to build products that they market and distribute themselves.

Staff Augmentation

At First Tier Technology, we understand the constraints of recruitment and instead offer a simple and cost effective alternative --- Staff Augmentation. At a fraction of the normal cost we provide solutions through our dedicated consultants specializing across different sectors and industries. Our Consultants can work alongside your team or offsite, or a combination of both. Our staff is extremely professional and experienced, having worked on many projects for First Tier Technology.

Application Development

Mission critical legacy applications take man years to build and evolve. With the emergence of e-businesses, global corporations need to ensure the continuity of these applications while harnessing the power of the Internet. With offshore software development, the resultant benefits to clients are flexibility in directing its resources towards core business, assurance that existing systems deliver consistent service levels and the significant cost savings. Some of the offshore development service offerings from IQ Software are:

Application Development
Application re-engineering
Application enhancements
Offshore maintenance support (Bug fixes, user support, and a 24x7 support)

The key benefits

Zero integration and start up period.
The ability to set measurable goals for growth.
Benefit from a learning organization.
Potential to convert to a joint venture or subsidiary.

At FTT Software, we provide application development services through our mix of onshore and offshore consultants. As with other off-shoring companies, offshore consultants are typically 50-90% less than the local equivalents. Our onsite consultants are typically 35% less than local equivalents.

Offshore software development has become increasingly common since 2001 and our business has been growing steadily.

Our clients are realizing that outsourcing companies are actually just another means to an end. They always find that we are professional and the quality is second to none. The initial concerns of losing control are quickly dispelled when they understand that 1) we are based locally so we are typically a short drive or telephone call away and 2) they can track the project progress in real-time.
