Technology keeps advancing and your company is falling behind, competition is stronger every day, and your market position is dropping dramatically… This is a scenario that could happen if you don’t have a dedicated software development team.
Yes, just as you read, a team of software and technology experts is the secret weapon of the most successful companies worldwide, and this is an area where Rootstack stands out with a group of engineers at the top of their skills.
A dedicated software development team is simply a group of professionals with knowledge in different technologies and solutions, working exclusively on a client’s project for a defined period of time.
Having a team with multiple specialists is important since, as shown in a study by Statista, by 2027 the value of enterprise software will rise above 10 trillion dollars, a sign that competition in the market will be fierce and your company must be prepared.

In practice, companies using dedicated teams have managed to accelerate their deliveries by up to 30% and improve productivity by 20%. Their cost efficiency also stands out: eliminating the need to hire, train, maintain infrastructure, or deal with administrative overhead.
At Rootstack, for example, we align specialized teams according to your goals, delivering focus and expertise without compromising your budget. All this begins with a consulting stage, where a business advisor first lists all your project needs, followed by a technical professional who determines which of our profiles best fit the work and how long it might take.
