Way to go, Team!
As a development director in small businesses I have worked with several off-shore software development companies. I have had to juggle limited budgets and wear multiple hats. I have used Svitla for the last two years and I must say that they have done the best job of any offshore developers I have ever worked with. They are technically capable, extremely hard working, produce good quality code quickly, and have displayed a level of flexibility with taskings, scheduling and resources that has really made a difference for my company. They have worked hand-in-glove with us. I have no hesitation about using them again in the future.
