Our Expertise

With the need for cost effective solutions in the current economy, it has become imperative not only to outsource IT contract resources for projects, but the need extends to achieving cost effectiveness by farming out the entire project development to qualified external project management firms. This calls for offshore development, where the cost of development and testing is a fraction of the cost of performing the same project on site.

VIVA has a capable offshore development model creating economies of scale, which ensures that the solutions provided incorporate the current technologies and tools, with low cost burdens to the client.
For this process we employ qualified Project Managers and skilled Technical Architects who would interface with the clients in generating the necessary strategies and specifications.
