Asia-Australia Technology specialise in working with medium business internationally, to deliver high-quality, complex applications at a cost lower than what can be achieved with onsite development.  Asia-Australia Technology specialise in Microsoft .Net, although projects involving J2EE and other technologies have also been undertaken with the same principles outlined below.

How is this achieved?

Asia-Australia technology do not have a partnership with a large offshore development company, but rather have their own office based in Novosibirsk Russia, with around 15 of the brightest and most experienced .Net developers in Russia.  Novosibirsk was chosen being Russia's 3rd largest city, and the scientific and educational centre of Russia.  Located within Novosibirsk is Novosibirsk State University, 35 research institutes, The House of Scientists, containing over 100,000 volumes of Russian and international literature, plus a number of other academies and libraries.

Asia-Australia Technology look to the long-term with both their clients and their employees.  Every employee of the Asia-Australia Technology is subject to a rigorous technical and non-technical interview, with the final decision for every new hire reserved by the Managing Directors.

Successful delivery requires more than outstanding developers however, it requires communication and collaboration - a task more challenging when a team is physically apart.  Asia-Australia Technology have refined multiple strategies to make communication easier than many development teams currently have who are located on site.  Some of these methods include:

• All team members are fluent in English
  
• All team members are contactable by telephone 24x7
• All team members are available online via Skype during working hours
• An Internet based Issue Tracker to provide transparency of issues across the entire development team and to the client
• A CruiseControl build mechanism to manage code deployment
• An extranet site available to all team members for collaboration
  

Finally, in addition to an outstanding team with fluid communication, Asia-Australia Technology employ very tight and effective development methodologies:

• An Internet based CVS repository
• NUnit unit tests across .Net business logic (checked as part of CruiseControl deployment)
  
• NCover test to ensure 95% unit test coverage
• Code committed daily; automated builds every 15 minutes after code change
