According to your specific needs and preferences, we agree on the best ways and frequency of our communication (tools, level of detail, timing). If your team is non-English-speaking, we are likely to provide a contact person for your language. Generally, we provide services in English and French.

When working in the co-managed cooperation mode, we organize the transfer of knowledge to your architects, developers, testers, DevOps engineers, IT support specialists, database administrators, and security administrators.
