Platform-orchestrated software outsourcing. 400+ permanent engineers deployed through SEOP in under 21 days, AI-augmented delivery, and real-time sprint visibility.
Software outsourcing built for engineering leaders who need predictable output, not invoice surprises. Every engagement runs through our SEOP platform, AI Agent Gateway, and a senior-led delivery team that integrates with your tools, your standups, and your codebase from day one.
Complete delivery squads (engineers, leads, QA, DevOps, designers) shipping end-to-end product builds. Best for teams that need a self-contained engineering function without a 4 to 8 month hiring cycle. Covered in detail on our Product Development as a Service page.
Ongoing maintenance, technical-debt reduction, security patching, and enhancement work for production software. Variable cost, scalable up and down by sprint, no bench-warming. Covered in our Software Maintenance and Support service.
Two-week sprint cycles with documented Definitions of Done, automated testing, and continuous deployment. Production deployments measured in deployments-per-week, not deployments-per-quarter. DORA metrics tracked automatically.
QA agents running automated regression suites, code-review agents flagging vulnerabilities, sprint-coaching agents surfacing blockers before they hit. Our AI Agent Gateway integrates with your existing toolchain (Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps) and reduces manual delivery overhead by 30 to 50 percent across our client engagements.
Real-time sprint velocity, deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and team utilisation through the SEOP dashboard. No more black-box delivery. Status updates are queries, not meetings. Covered in our Engineering Observability service.
Built for FinTech, Banking, Insurance, and other regulated industries. POPIA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards baked in from day one. Centralised audit trails, role-based access, and data-residency controls. Compliance is not a gate at the end of the engagement; it is automated into the delivery pipeline.
Three things separate Scrums.com software outsourcing from traditional outsourcing: a permanent engineering bench, AI-augmented delivery, and platform-first governance. Every engagement is shaped by what works at scale for regulated software, not by what is easiest to bill.
Most outsourcing partners start hiring after the contract is signed. We do not. 400+ permanent engineers and 10,000+ vetted global specialists are already on bench, ready to deploy in under 21 days. Stage fit, domain fit, and seniority ratio are matched to your engagement, not negotiated against your timeline.
The result: time-to-first-commit is measured in weeks, not months. Engineers stay on your engagement long enough to build institutional knowledge. Turnover is your turnover, not contract turnover.
Every engineer on a Scrums.com engagement works alongside AI agents that automate the lowest-leverage parts of delivery: regression test runs, code review pre-checks, sprint reporting, dependency analysis. Our AI Agent Gateway integrates with your existing tools.
This is not AI replacing engineers. It is AI removing the manual overhead that erodes engineering velocity at scale, so your team ships more, faster, with better quality signals.
Every engagement runs through our Software Engineering Orchestration Platform (SEOP). You get real-time sprint tracking, automated DORA metrics, AI-powered risk detection, and centralised integration with Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and Azure DevOps.
The benefit for engineering leaders: status updates are queries, not meetings. Risks surface before they become incidents. Compliance evidence is automated. The benefit for finance leaders: predictable monthly burn, no scope-creep invoicing.
Four phases, structured for predictable delivery and built to align with how engineering teams actually work.
Deliverable: Engagement plan, sprint cadence, and named team deployment schedule.
Deliverable: Team operational, full visibility live in SEOP, first sprint kicked off in under 21 days.
Deliverable: Working software shipped every two weeks. Compliance evidence automated and audit-ready.
Deliverable: Stable, evolving software with continuous delivery and automated governance.
Our engineers are fluent across modern and legacy stacks. We adapt to your existing tooling, infrastructure, and architectural patterns; we recommend stack changes only when they materially affect delivery outcomes.
Software outsourcing pricing varies based on team composition, geography, engagement model, and compliance scope. The factors that move the number most:
Useful starting ranges, not commitments:
We combine permanent African engineering talent with AI-augmented delivery to ship enterprise-grade software at 40 to 60 percent cost savings versus US and UK agencies, without sacrificing seniority, compliance posture, or delivery predictability.

We specialise in software outsourcing for FinTech, Banking, Insurance, and other regulated industries where compliance, security, and delivery predictability are not negotiable. Domain experience compounds; engineers who have shipped FinTech compliance work before save you months of regulatory learning.
HIPAA compliance, secure patient data handling, and EHR/EMR integrations. We outsource telehealth platforms, patient portals, and clinical workflow systems for regulated healthcare operators. Engineers come with HIPAA training, secure development practices, and integration experience with major EHR vendors.
Real-time tracking, complex routing, inventory management, and IoT integrations. We outsource warehouse management systems, last-mile delivery apps, and predictive routing engines for logistics operators with high-volume, real-time delivery demands.
High-throughput checkout, omnichannel integration, and ERP and CRM connectivity. We outsource B2B wholesale platforms, DTC storefronts, and integration layers for retail operators handling millions of transactions and complex stock dynamics.
Cloud-native architectures, rapid feature deployment, and DevOps maturity. We outsource greenfield SaaS builds, legacy modernisation, and platform engineering for SaaS companies scaling from product-market fit to enterprise readiness.
Low-latency performance, network integration, and 5G or IoT orchestration. We outsource OSS/BSS modernisation, real-time billing, and customer-experience platforms for telecom operators where uptime and scale are baseline requirements.
Underwriting automation, policy management, claims processing, and customer portals. We outsource insurance platforms that meet POPIA, GDPR, and ISO regulatory standards and integrate with core insurance providers, including AI-driven fraud detection and on-demand insurance models.
Enterprise-grade security, 24/7 uptime, and AML/KYC compliance. We outsource core banking systems, digital banking platforms, and payment infrastructure aligned to Basel, SOC 2, and DORA standards. Open-banking APIs, wealth management portals, and treasury platforms included.
Our core domain. We outsource payment platforms, lending systems, embedded finance, ledger architectures, and AI-driven risk engines for fast-moving FinTech companies. Deep experience with PCI DSS, PSD2, cross-border payments, and DORA operational resilience requirements.
Software outsourcing is the engagement model where an external engineering team builds, maintains, or scales software for you, instead of (or alongside) an in-house team. The right outsourcing engagement runs through a clear operating model (Dedicated Teams, Staff Augmentation, or fully managed Product Development as a Service) with explicit scope, governance, and delivery metrics.
Outsourcing is the right structural decision when speed is the binding constraint, when your team needs specialised skills it does not have, when you want variable cost flexibility, or when in-house bandwidth is the bottleneck on shipping. It is the wrong call when product strategy is still in flux or when the work is the learning your in-house team needs.
Three things: a permanent engineering bench (400+ engineers and 10,000+ vetted specialists), AI-augmented delivery pipelines (QA agents, code review agents, sprint analytics), and platform-first governance through SEOP. Every engagement is real-time visible, every sprint is metric-tracked, every risk surfaces before it becomes an incident.
Engineering teams are deployed in under 21 days from signed contract. We start with a permanent bench, not from a recruitment race. The 21-day window covers stakeholder interviews, architecture review, team composition, SEOP setup, and first-sprint kickoff.
Pricing varies by team size, seniority, engagement model, and compliance scope. Useful starting ranges: small dedicated team (3 to 5 engineers, 6 to 12 months) typically $200K to $500K; mid-sized team (6 to 10 engineers) $500K to $1.5M annually; staff augmentation specialists $5K to $15K per engineer per month. Our African engineering bench delivers 40 to 60 percent cost savings versus US and UK agencies.
FinTech, Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, SaaS, Logistics, Retail, and Telecommunications. We specialise in regulated industries where compliance (POPIA, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, AML/KYC) is built into delivery, not bolted on after.
Yes. Compliance is automated into the delivery pipeline rather than gated at the end. SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, POPIA, ISO 27001, and HIPAA are standard. Audit trails, role-based access, data residency controls, and centralised security baselines are operational from sprint one.
Yes. All engagement models support monthly capacity adjustments. Add engineers, reduce capacity, or pause without re-contracting or penalties. This is one of the structural advantages of the platform-first model.
Deploy AI-augmented engineering squads in under 21 days. Real-time delivery visibility through our SEOP platform. 40 to 60 percent cost savings versus US and UK agencies. Banking-grade compliance baked in. Trusted by FinTech, Banking, and Insurance leaders.
