You feel the need for change. It’s time to meet escalating business demands, tackle mounting development projects, and re-energize your customer (internal and external) relationships. And it’s time to do it in an all-new way on a global scale. Well here’s a breath of fresh air: We guarantee 1:1 productivity to your US engineers.
Costing a fraction of old-school, traditional outsourcing models and legacy BOT (Build/Operate/Transfer) off-shore operations, SMC² brings an innovative approach that’s delivered by US-based executive leadership with over 70 years of combined globe-trotting expertise. Our goal is not hourly billing! We provide you a team at a fixed monthly rate without any overtime and help you achieve true India costs.
No matter what you’re up against, together we’ll figure out the best fit to meet your challenges head-on. From dedicated technology teams at fully managed centers to global insource centers destined to be part of your in-house shop, we’re building your team.
It’s a safe bet you’ve never seen a fully engaged and surprisingly economical solution like this before.
Don’t Overthink it.
We ALREADY Did That For You.
Your processes. Full throttle.
Define. Measure. Drive. It’s our mantra as we inject consistency across global resources to ramp up your IT team. The result: engineering rigor that leverages multi-location, multi-timezone efficiencies. No surprises. You set the standard and we’ll make it happen. Waterfall, Agile, DevOps? Not a problem… a piece of cake.
Our secret sauce.
Regardless of the continent, “people first” is core to our DNA. It’s how we attract quality Bangalore-based talent that love working long-term with you and has the competition scratching their heads. Instantly you’ll see how simple respect drives both efficiency and bottom-line results.
SCALE without vertigo.
While our resource-expanding models are innovative, we’ve got your back on steering through unbalancing organizational change. Our leadership team has walked in your shoes, offering guidance and proven strategies (from small, growing firms to Fortune 500 companies) to bring your Global One Team to life.
WHAT do we mean by “TRUE INDIA” COSTS?

But eliminating your risk isn’t strictly about dollars and cents. Our secret sauce is the promised 1:1 output ratio:
We guarantee to meet or exceed productivity and quality of your US-based teams.
How can we do that? Through stellar employee satisfaction (we have an unheard of 91% retention rate) that comes only with our “people first” mantra.
