In-house and outsourced teams

It means our own engineers lead every engagement and carry the responsibility for it, and we add engineers from vetted outsourced teams when the work needs more people or a skill we do not hold in-house. The outsourced engineers work under our contract and our standards, inside a team that our people lead.

Yes. The team map lists every person, their role and who employs them. You interview every engineer before they join; no blind placements. We do not add or swap people without telling you first.

XSIS is. Your contract is with us, and our delivery lead answers for the work of the whole team, whoever employs each engineer. That is why our engineers review outsourced engineers’ changes before they are merged, and why one set of standards applies to everyone.

Everyone works to the same coding standards, testing rules and definition of done, and uses the same pipelines and checks. XSIS engineers review changes before they are merged. Quality problems are raised in the same way for everyone, and the delivery lead acts on them.

Each outsourced engineer is bound by the same confidentiality and security terms as our own staff, passed down in writing. Access to your systems is given per person, limited to what the role needs, reviewed regularly and removed when they leave. If you need some work done only by XSIS engineers, or only from certain locations, we plan the team that way.

Yes. Tell us before we propose the team. Some clients need certain work, such as access to production data, to be done only by XSIS engineers. We plan the roles around that and tell you plainly if it changes what we can deliver or when.

It can. Cost depends on the roles, seniority and skills the work needs, and on who can provide them. You see the price and the timeline before we start. Any change to the mix is agreed with you first.
