5. Why we
do it
Regardless of location, companies are required to have front-line technology at
the heart of their business, keeping IT projects on budget. This challenge is
increasingly striking nowadays. cleverti is focused on assisting companies by
delivering cutting-edge technological competence, agility and balanced cost-
effectiveness ratios to their software operations.
cleverti was founded in 2010 with a firm purpose of delivering top-quality
services at competitive costs to companies in different locations through
competence centres based in Lisbon. cleverti’s founders have extensive
experience in IT, much of which was acquired while working for central and
northern European corporations. Working in such markets for several years
provided a clear sense that many of them lack IT specialists to address all the
needs, which increases unavailability and consequently cost. Portugal on the
contrary has recognized IT expertise with competitive costs, and also skills that
are in deep short elsewhere.
Delivering projects remotely to mature markets has helped us to comprehend
markets’ specifics and incorporate them into our service. It as also led us to align
our offer with real needs and focus on success factors for our clients.
6. Focus | Do more with less focusing own staff on key competencies
Businesses are under intense pressure to rise productivity and revenue using existing
staff. Working with cleverti allows you to increase the efficiency of your internal teams
by expanding capacity around key staff members, as well as by offloading non-critical
tasks into cleverti’s delivery centre, allowing internal staff to focus on their core
competence areas.
Agility & responsiveness |Gain access to expertise as needed
It is virtually impossible for an organization to have in-house access to all required
types of technical skills at optimum capacity levels at all times. cleverti provides access
to specific skills as you require them, assuring capacity and scalability. cleverti can
assist you in the moments where projects demand a peak effort, as well as when
specific expertise is needed.
Value | Increase value balancing the cost/productivity ratio of teams
A balanced mix of on-site and near-shore resources delivers additional productivity at
a more balanced total cost per headcount. This increases value both for customers and
for shareholders.
