Team sizes at FSC Software range from a single specialist to full dedicated squads of 10–30 engineers. A typical mid-size engagement includes 1 Tech Lead, 3–5 senior developers, 1–2 QA engineers, and a part-time Project Manager. For larger digital transformation projects, we structure cross-functional squads of 8–12 people including DevOps, data, and mobile specialists.

FSC Software offers three engagement models: (1) Dedicated Team — a full extension of your in-house team on a monthly retainer, ideal for ongoing product development; (2) Staff Augmentation — individual specialists placed within your existing team on a time-and-materials basis; (3) Fixed-Price Project — scoped deliverables at a fixed cost, suitable for well-defined projects. Most long-term clients start with Staff Augmentation and transition to Dedicated Team once fit is established.

FSC Software's quality framework includes mandatory code review for every pull request, automated test coverage requirements (minimum 80% unit test coverage for critical paths), continuous integration pipelines that block merges on failing tests, and bi-weekly external code audits for enterprise clients. We follow OWASP security guidelines for all web-facing applications and conduct regular dependency vulnerability scans. Senior engineers conduct architecture reviews at each major milestone.

FSC Software's development teams in Hanoi, Vietnam operate UTC+7. For US and European clients, we maintain a structured overlap schedule — developers available 8 AM–12 PM EST for real-time collaboration. We provide daily async updates via Slack, Jira, and video standups that fit your schedule. For urgent production issues, we offer 24/7 on-call support as part of our maintenance agreements.

From first contact to a team actively coding typically takes 2–4 weeks: Week 1 covers technical assessment and requirements gathering; Week 2 covers candidate interviews, contract signing, and onboarding setup; Weeks 3–4 cover knowledge transfer and the team reaches full velocity. For Staff Augmentation of a single specialist, placement can happen within 5–7 business days from our vetted internal talent pool of 200+ engineers.

FSC Software's core stack spans full-stack web (React, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, Java Spring Boot, Python/FastAPI, .NET Core), mobile (iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin, React Native, Flutter), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevOps (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions), and data/AI (Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery). We also specialize in e-commerce platforms: Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce.

Yes. FSC Software has delivered compliant solutions across regulated industries: HIPAA-compliant patient data platforms for US healthcare clients, SOC2 Type II audit-ready infrastructure for SaaS companies, GDPR/CCPA-compliant data architectures for European and US retailers, and PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment systems for e-commerce platforms. We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for healthcare engagements.

FSC Software implements comprehensive IP protection: all client code is exclusively owned by the client and never reused, every engineer signs NDAs as part of their employment contract, code is stored in client-controlled repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), and we conduct background checks on all team members. Security controls include VPN-only access to production systems, encrypted communications (TLS 1.3), and ISO 27001-aligned data handling practices. We regularly undergo third-party penetration testing.

Offshore outsourcing (e.g., Vietnam for US/EU clients) offers the highest cost savings of 40–70% with a larger time zone difference requiring structured async communication. Nearshore outsourcing (e.g., Eastern Europe for EU clients) offers 20–40% savings with easier scheduling overlap. FSC Software bridges the offshore gap with dedicated overlap hours, structured communication cadences, and senior PMs experienced in cross-timezone collaboration.
