Offshore IT Services: a modern engineering culture

Successful tech outsourcing requires moving beyond simple task delegation. High-performing Tech and Product teams favour an integrated model that embeds external engineers directly into their teams. By choosing an offshore tech partner that integrates developers into your day-to-day rituals and workflows, you retain control over your product. This close collaboration ensures strong alignment with your company culture and avoids the “black box” effect.

Yes, when the right framework is in place. The Novity engineer you meet and select becomes fully immersed in your business context and company culture. We operate on an exclusive assignment model, eliminating the risks associated with shared resources. This approach enables engineers to develop a deep understanding of your technical debt and security requirements, while taking genuine ownership of your project’s challenges.

Traditional offshore IT contracting often relies on centralised management, with a project manager acting as an intermediary between the client and technical teams. Our approach is built around direct collaboration. Your engineers take part in your own rituals and work directly with your team, creating immediate alignment and reducing misunderstandings and unnecessary back-and-forth. This direct integration also fosters stronger engagement and long-term team continuity.

We operate across our IT Services centres in Madagascar and Mauritius, supported by our European office in Paris. Our structure is designed to provide greater stability and continuity for your projects. Our multi-centre model gives you access to a broader pool of specialised technology expertise while providing greater flexibility in sourcing and team building. This approach has already been adopted by more than 80 French and European tech companies.

Legal security is a prerequisite. As your offshore outsourcing partner, we structure every engagement through a commercial agreement governed by European law. This framework requires compliance with GDPR requirements and ensures the exclusive transfer of intellectual property rights for your product or service.

AI is a tangible productivity lever. Our engineers working from our tech centres in Mauritius and Madagascar use approved tools and hold relevant certifications, including Anthropic’s Claude Code. They use AI to accelerate test development and complex code reviews, while strictly adhering to your internal security policies and requirements.

Geographical cost optimisation can significantly improve your R&D budget. The cost of a senior offshore developer at Novity remains competitive compared with European and North African markets, delivering 30–50% cost savings. We deliberately offer above-market local compensation to attract top talent and reduce turnover. Our model combines modern engineering practices with a culture of active contribution rather than passive execution, while retaining the flexibility and direct collaboration of an integrated delivery model.
