The Challenge
Axeltra has been providing on-demand resources from Macedonia for the past year, consistently meeting the client’s staffing needs As a Hybris premium partner, the company faced an explosion in demand for Hybris projects.Â
Hybris, being an enterprise technology, made it challenging to find knowledgeable developers. Despite successfully implementing multi-channel commerce solutions, they desperately needed a talented team to support additional projects. Hybris training, being costly and risky, compounded the difficulty in finding qualified personnel. As such, a sustainable, cost-effective staffing solution was crucial, highlighting the importance of Axeltra’s software development outsourcing.
