Building a Software for Medical Devices: The Challenge
To build software for medical devices, you need sharp engineers who know the stakes and can navigate a complex domain with great attention to detail. To build software for a global company, you need engineers who can quickly get up to speed and play well with others from around the world, and sometimes you need a lot of them--fast. This customer required all of the above and more.
The Solution
Partnered with the right software team, outsourcing enables heads of engineering to quickly respond throughout an evolving software development lifecycle. Whether it be shadow engineering, demanding regulatory bodies like the FDA, or any other reasons.
There are customer demands to respond to, marketing proof of concepts to take to market, and unfortunately, the very necessary evil of managing recalls and demanding regulatory bodies like the FDA.
Our talented team, operation philosophy, and approach helped check all the right boxes.
