The BuSI Factory

Nowadays, the ICT world is severely lacking of resources. Finding the right person for a specific work is very often hard, stressful and expensive.  As sharing and innovation are two of our main values, we have at heart to create networks stimulating each other and always going forward into knowledge sharing and providing a quality service. That’s why we created our BuSI Factory.

The principle

We offer our clients to outsource their applications’ development at our facilities, in Belgium, while keeping them involved to ensure a quality product and thereby mitigating an issue that might arise from a lack of IT resources within the market. We build automation and monitoring throughout all phases of software life-cycle: from integration, through to testing, release, deployment and infrastructure management.

This system has several advantages:

• No recruitment nor turn-over problem for the client
• Continuous service and quality delivery
• Existing teams used to work together and directly operational
• Facilities located in Brussels
• Flexibility in the project management
