SDAAS — ENGINEERING YOU SUBSCRIBE TO, NOT RECRUIT

Quick Answer: NUUN Digital's Software Development as a Service engagement gives you a dedicated cross-functional product-engineering team — PM, design, engineering, QA, and DevOps — on a monthly subscription. Continuous build, ship, and operate across web, mobile, data, and AI, without the 6-month hiring cycle.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Dedicated team. Product manager, designer, engineers, QA, and DevOps — matched to your stack.
Ongoing delivery. Continuous design, build, QA, and release cadence.
Roadmap partnership. Strategy and prioritization, not just ticket execution.
Operations. On-call, monitoring, and incident response included.
Elastic capacity. Scale up or down on quarter boundaries.
Knowledge transfer. Documentation and pairing to keep your team strong.

HOW WE DO IT

Scope the engagement. Team shape, cadence, stack, and outcomes.
Match the team. Engineers vetted on your stack and domain.
Integrate with your process. Your Jira, your standups, your definition of done.
Ship to your release train. No parallel agency process; one team, one cadence.
Measure outcomes, not hours. Roadmap progress and production health — not timesheet theatre.

WHEN IT FITS

Hiring pipeline too slow for product roadmap demands.
Specialized skills (ML, iOS, data engineering) needed temporarily or long-term.
CTO wants leverage without headcount commitment.
Portfolio company needing rapid capability without dilution.

Frequently asked.

How is this different from staff augmentation?

SDaaS is outcome-accountable, not hour-billable. You get a team with a PM, a design-to-ship workflow, and delivery ownership — not individual contractors. The unit is "delivery," not "hour."

Where are the engineers based?

Our six-office network — Calgary, San Francisco, St. Petersburg FL, Doha, Dubai, Beirut. Time-zone-aligned staffing where overlap matters; cost-efficient staffing where it doesn't.

How is the team shape determined?

Based on roadmap, stack, and velocity targets. Small team (3–5) for focused workstreams; platform teams (6–10) for multi-product roadmaps. Scales on quarter boundaries.

What about IP and code ownership?

Code, IP, and credentials are yours from day one. We retain nothing; no escape-hatch dependencies. Standard engineering practices, clear handover artifacts.

What's the commitment?

Quarterly minimum with 30-day notice thereafter. Six-month and annual options available with pricing advantages.
