Business need
Unit IT GmbH is a German company, founded in 1995 in Iserlohn. In 2003 they opened a second location in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
Unit IT is an experienced IT service provider. They concentrate on specialized tasks related to software development, Web and database applications. Their approach is that technology is not an end in itself but a tool.
Since December 2006, Unit IT, as one of 19 companies in the world appointed to the Microsoft Partner Advisory Council, gained direct access to decision-makers from Microsoft in Redmond, USA. The duties of the council include joint coordination and consultation in concept and strategy issues.
Due to growth and a need to extend the volume of the services provided, the company decided to grow its own outsourcing team.
Challenge
The main challenge here was the primary desire of the company to find a reliable partner whom they can trust. Saving money was not the first issue. Another challenge was the necessity to choose a partner which could scale the team over time. First they tried a partner from Poland, but the experience was not positive and Poland appeared to be significantly expensive. So they decided to try outsourcing to Ukraine. Several companies were chosen and the CEO of the company personally visited them.
Apart from reliability and trust in potential partner, there were other requirements, such as adequate management, a transparent structure and an understandable financial policy.
Solution
The result of this careful and significant choice was a contract with Binary Studio. We showed our client all the characteristics they were looking for in their potential partner.
Our company management was another thing they like in us. And certainly, very important is the team itself. We have provided them with highly qualified specialists, who add a lot of value to their projects and business in general.
We've shown and proven our reliability and honesty. In fact, we have very good relations with this client and our cooperation now lasts for more than four years.
