Outsourced .NET Software Development in South Africa

Why South Africa?

For many software projects across US, UK, European and Australian regions especially, South Africa represents a unique alignment of quality talent, central time-zone, English 1st language, familiar culture, constructive work ethic, and affordability – making it one of the only places where all these important attributes converge.

Complex software projects require more than just pairs of hands to perform a task – they require a partnership to interrogate and contribute to solutions on the table, proactively engage and take initiative in solving unexpected challenges.

This kind of partnership requires IQ, EQ and true collaboration and sadly, barriers in language, culture and time-zone have a knack for eroding true collaboration.

Why Haefele?

We believe effective software development starts with collaboration. True collaboration. Much like with the creative arts, music and film making, the outlier productions are the result of passionate, specialist professionals collaboratively weaving their expertise together, each sharpening their respective crafts. Software development at its best, is no different.
