The R&D model is an advanced engagement model which is extremely effective for product companies, as it allows them to concentrate on the development of software, leaving the establishment of their R&D to a vendor. This IT engagement model can provide you with adequate pricing, financial transparency, non-interference in programming, coverage of all back-office operations, as well as access to a wide pool of talented programmers, low taxes, and full-time support. Furthermore, it allows you to maintain full control over your R&D team.
