Our Process
We simplify the process of software development by providing your business with the resources needed to get the job done. A typical Agile Software Development Project needs a Product Owner, Scrum Master, Solutions Architect, Software Engineers and QA Engineers. For a small company this can become very expensive and time consuming to hire the needed resources to get the project started. At HimaraTech, we have a large pool of talented technologist with many years of industry experience ready to help your company turn the product vision into reality. Our process is simple. We meet with you to discuss your vision, gather requirements and agree on a budget. We then assemble a cross-functional development team that will work with your business day-to-day to get your project completed on-time and within budget. With this approach, you're only paying for the resources that is needed for your project.
