Advantages of Working in a Distributed Agile Model






VelocityPartners was founded in 2004 as on offshoot of an Agile training company and we like to say that distributed Agile is not only core to our business model but is in our DNA.  In fact, Agile and Scrum methodologies are ingrained into all of our technological processes.  This is why we make it a priority to provide our workforce with on-going, cutting-edge training in Agile/Scrum software development processes as well as emerging technologies. 
  
Since communication and collaboration is one of the primary components of a distributed Agile model, we operate nearshore delivery centers (Western hemisphere – not Eastern hemisphere).  All of our high-tech Latin American software delivery centers are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art communication tools in order to support virtual teams.  
Furthermore, Velocity Partners works hard to run a company that meets the needs of our customers along with those of our employees.  This practice has resulted in our ability to employ some of the industry’s brightest, most talented technology consultants, Scrum Masters, software architects and developers.  We also are proud of the fact that our employee retention rate is above the industry’s average.  

Using a distributed Agile model can actually help to make your project more successful.  Since the process involves continuous assessment and evaluations of both our team’s efforts and the direction of the project, problems are more easily identified early-on.  We also will communicate regularly with you, as the product owner, along with everyone else involved in the project. 
 
Agile methodologies include total transparency and visibility in each phase of the project.  Work is done in incremental steps in order to facilitate a quick, flexible response to the inherent unpredictability of software development.  However despite the fact that we believe Agile is an effective way to produce high-quality software, Velocity Partners’ ultimate goal is to deliver the best finished product by whatever means our customers prefer.  Visit our website or contact us to see how we can assist your next project.

What Sets Us Apart from other Software Development Companies?






VelocityPartners has been providing our customers with exceptional software development services since 2004, and as such, have a growing list of very satisfied customers.  Regardless of your business’ size or domain, you will find cost-effective business solutions which will meet or exceed both your functionality as well as design requirements.

When we first began Velocity Partners, we made a conscious decision to operate nearshore delivery centers (Western hemisphere – not Eastern hemisphere) as we felt that it would be in the best interest of our customers.  It turns out that Latin America provided the perfect environment with their large talent pool and advanced technology centers.  In addition it has allowed us to offer highly competitive, cost-effective services.  Three of our delivery centers are in Argentina – Buenos Aires, Paraná and Rosario as well as two centers in Montevideo, Uruguay; and additional centers in Caracas, Venezuela; and MedellĂ­n, Colombia. 

Velocity Partners also strongly believes in and practices an efficient alternative to traditional project management by using distributed Agile as the core of our business model. However while Agile/Scrum methodologies drive all of our technology processes, we will deliver software development services in whatever method is most viable to our clients.  Furthermore, we proudly partner with high-tech infrastructure companies such as Microsoft, Rally Software, Red Hat, VersionOne and Scrum Alliance.  Please see our website for more information on how Velocity Partners’ talented team can assist your company.

We recognize that our employees are key to our success, and when you choose the services of Velocity Partners, you can rest assured that you will have some of the industry’s top experts working on your team.  Once you contact us regarding a project, we begin the process by carefully listening to your needs and then collaborating with you and your team to create the most cost-effective solutions.
