What is TaaS?

advise1
TaaS model is a popular method for outsourcing system development. It allows clients to secure a dedicated team of engineers to carry out development at a steady pace and provide them with complete control over the development process, ensuring that their specific needs are met. TaaS helps business leaders to utilize continuous skills and support to keep the software development process running smoothly.
We assemble a dedicated team with required skills that can meet the client's requirements and proceed with development under a contract for a certain period (usually half a year to one year). TaaS is effective in cases where the specifications are not clearly defined or there is a possibility of specification changes during the contract period, as we can adjust changes during the contract period.

The difference between Project-based model and TaaS model

Project-based

the-difference
  • The scope of the work that needs to be done and the delivery schedule must both be defined by the client.
  • Fixed price with clear deliverables, delivery timeline in accordance with the customer’s detailed specification
  • The relatively short contract length makes it challenging to amass development know-how
  • Additional charges incurred in case of changing requirements

TaaS

the-difference1
  • A development team dedicated solely to client’s need
  • Maximum control and coordination of time and effectiveness
  • Medium to long-term contract makes it easier to acquire development know-how
  • Flexibility in adjusting requirement change without additional charge.
  • Intensive communication is required

5 reasons why TaaS is preferred

01

High quality remote teams with multiple functionalities

The main thing that TaaS can bring to your company, is high-quality remote teams. They can consist of experts in a multitude of different specialties and can work in a full cycle software development from requirements definition, basic design, coding, testing, deployment, and subsequent improvement.
02

Obtaining skilled engineers for a medium- to long-term project

TaaS minimizes the need to continually reassign workers or restart information exchange when changes take place by enabling you to secure competent engineers for the medium to long term.
03

100% control over the progress

We put together a group of individuals who are appropriate for the demands and circumstances by organizing a development team. Undoubtedly, progress can also be completely visualized.
04

Easily nurturing knowledge

Being able to communicate with the same team members for the duration of the contract is beneficial since it can be simple to accumulate development-related expertise. The more experience the entire team has, the more thoroughly they will understand the development methods, which will hasten development.
05

Flexibility in development

Flexibility in adapting requirements changes is one of advantages of TaaS model. The division of roles within the team can be done flexibly each time because the contract was made as a team and each individual in charge is not fixed.

What Our Clients say

Ministop Co., Ltd.
Manager of the Store Systems Department, Hiroshi Nemoto

“Our company has a variety of development projects that require accuracy and speed, and we have taken notice of offshore development as a way to achieve these goals. Utilizing offshore vendors can provide cost and speed benefits compared to working with vendors in Japan. If the offshore vendor has excellent communication skills, these benefits can be fully realized.
As part of our search for a suitable offshore vendor, we considered multiple companies and ultimately chose Kaopiz based on their strong reputation as an excellent company. Since engaging them, they have implemented agile development to respond to demands such as testing during core systems replacement. We appreciate their contributions so far and look forward to continuing to work together for the benefit of our company.”

Among these partners, Kaopiz stands out for its abundance of knowledgeable and experienced personnel who prioritize thorough team-wide information sharing to maximize organizational strength. Their innovative research and application of unfamiliar services and technologies allows them to solve difficult requirements and enables us to entrust them with our work with complete confidence in their technical capabilities. Despite the inevitable language barriers that come with working across different countries, Kaopiz provides detailed information sharing which completely eliminates any concerns regarding communication. As a result, they have become an indispensable partner regardless of project size, providing trusted collaboration and exceptional service to our company.”

Yper Inc.
CTO Shimazoe

I was concerned about offshore development for the first time. However, the executives and business analysts displayed excellent communication skills, allowing us to proceed with the project quickly. Despite using technology that Kaopiz had no prior experience with, they were flexible in their approach, resulting in a successful release. During the final stages of the project, I worked alongside the team in Vietnam and was impressed by the company’s vibrant and positive culture.
