Background to the report

The results of the study allow companies to assess agile development service providers and thus select the right partner for their particular needs. The results underline how the evaluated suppliers integrate the latest technologies and skills in their offering, how this allows them to stand out from the competition and why customers should partner with them.

Agile Development Specialists use their professional expertise to offer agile application development services. They're able to work with multiple programming languages, have manufacturer certifications, offer data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and much more. If it proves overly complicated to scale these offerings, these service providers can also specialize in vertical segments. Companies working in this segment have expertise in a range of different areas. The projects are normally urgent and focused on specific results.

Customers select these companies due to their strong track record in consultancy and the expertise inherent in their teams. We're very proud to have been named a leader and feel comfortable given our competitors.
