Mike and Ryan,

Thanks for the interesting opportunity.  Very good match with Skelia as we pair cross-boarder teams every day! 

We are very excited by the opportunity to partner with ZyWave. Sounds as their strategic thinking,  cross-border plans and Microsoft technology needs uniquely match Skelia’s strengths. Skelia is a long-standing Microsoft Gold Partner, headquartered in New York and operating through a network of European & US offices and state-of-the-art service centers in Poland (Krakow) and Ukraine (Kyiv and Lviv).

Consider Skelia as “organization builders”. We have built over 150 stable cross-border organizations for companies in US and Europe from extended software development & QA teams up to 24/7 service centers.  Skelia is a no-bench company, we can therefore source best matching profiles targeting a perfect mix of technology skills, soft skills, industry experience, seniority level and career ambition.   In short, specific to Skelia’s business model is that :

• You stay in control
• We custom-build your team based on best matching profiles in the market
• We can work your way (tools, processes, policies)
• Our open book pricing model
• Our true partnership practices (shared objectives,  no “wall” in between us)
• No lock-in and easy scale-down – no volume/duration commitments, no exit fees
• You can spin-off and acquire your Skelia team as a fully owned legal entity

While we are overall price competitive, the top-3 reasons why customers prefer Skelia are 1) the quality of Skelia’s resources, 2) our exceptional team retention (turnover < 10%) and 3) our customer’s possibility to spin-off and acquire their team as a fully owned affiliate company (BOT model). We are especially proud by the independent Skelia customer reviews  (4.8/5, 17 reviews on Clutch ) and international awards & recognition, including most recently  “Global Top 100 Sustained Growth company” and “#1 IT & Business Services company in Ukraine”. 

Several Skelia customer case studies & testimonials are listed here. 

Some specific Microsoft-related cases:

• TimeLessTodat (CA) : Here   
• Televic Healthcare (Europe) : Here

 We look forward to meeting your client to learn more and show how we can help.

Mike and Ryan,

Thanks for taking the time to discuss your client Zywave, this sounds like a phenomenal opportunity for us that is well aligned with our core business model.  We try to team with clients that are looking to build long term partnerships.  Many of our existing clients have been working with us for 20 years, since the launch of Jalasoft.  I look forward to meeting with them to show them what we have to offer, but here are a few highlights that we can review further in the coming weeks.

• We excel at providing world class engineers that are an extension to our client’s teams, from the low level ‘click tester’ to software architects.  
• Our engineers are your engineers, they just happen to be in a different locale.
• We embrace long term partnerships 
• Many of our senior engineers and architects started their engineering careers with the very clients that now depend on them to lead their teams and define product architecture.
• We have experience with clients large and small, from fortune 500 public enterprises, private equity backed companies to newly formed startups.
• We are experts in Microsoft technologies, roughly half of our clients are .Net/C#.

• We provide career growth for our people to maintain job satisfaction and minimize turnover.

• Every customer has a core manager assigned to the team, at our cost, to ensure both employee and client are happy with the partnership. 
• We have more than 1,000 employees working in our Engineering Services division in South America, focused exclusively on US client and their worldwide divisions and subsidiaries.  
• We work in your time zone and focus on your needs.  There is no need to schedule meetings before breakfast or after dinner, or constantly worry about what time it is half way around the world!

Let me know when we can have a call to learn more about Zywave’s needs and discuss how we can start a new partnership for the next 20 years!
