In an increasingly interconnected world, distributed development has become a strategic advantage for companies looking to scale efficiently, access global talent, and ensure round-the-clock productivity. However, not all distributed development models are created equal. At Gislen Software, we have refined our approach over decades to provide unparalleled quality, reliability, and value to our clients.
Shorter Time to Value with Distributed Development
The Gislen Software Approach to Distributed Development
For over 30 years, we have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality software solutions to European clients. Our collaboration model is based on transparency, trust, and technical excellence. While many companies focus on cost savings alone, we prioritise delivering value without compromising quality.
Qualified and Well-Trained Professionals
One of the key differentiators of our distributed development model is our corporate culture and the calibre of our team. We do not cut corners when it comes to hiring talent. Every team member is rigorously screened and trained to ensure they have the right skills to meet our client’s high expectations. Additionally, continuous learning is ingrained in our culture, ensuring our professionals remain at the forefront of technological advancements. We have regular sessions, which we call “Kintsugi,” where team members share about new and updated technologies.
Empowered Teams for Faster and Smarter Decision-Making
A common challenge in distributed development is the need for constant supervision and micromanagement. At Gislen Software, we empower our team members to make informed decisions. Rather than waiting for managerial approvals at every step, our engineers and developers have the autonomy to act in the project’s best interest while maintaining alignment with client goals. This results in faster turnaround times, fewer bottlenecks, and a more responsive development process.
ISO 9000 Quality Management System
At Gislen Software, quality management and environmental sustainability are foundational to our operations. We utilise the ISO 9000 standard as a core component of our commitment to delivering exceptional software solutions. This standard ensures systematic quality control across all projects, from initial requirement gathering to final delivery. Through regular audits and continuous improvement processes, ISO 9000 certification guarantees that our clients receive consistent, high-quality outcomes that meet or exceed their expectations.
Environmental Responsibility and CSR
We believe in taking responsibility and reducing our environmental footprint. We hold ISO 14000 certification, underscoring our dedication to environmental management and sustainability. Gislen Software is a carbon-negative company thanks to proactive measures such as reducing energy consumption, adopting renewable energy sources, and offsetting emissions. Moreover, our extensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including our support for education through the Little Lambs School, reflect our commitment to being an ethical and socially responsible corporate citizen.
Exceptionally Low Attrition Rate
Employee retention is crucial in ensuring continuity and maintaining deep domain expertise. While many IT service providers face high attrition rates that disrupt projects, our company has an exceptionally low attrition rate. This stability allows us to build long-term client relationships, maintain institutional knowledge, and provide consistency in service delivery.
Our Longstanding Partnership with Epical
One of the best examples of our expertise in distributed development is our longstanding collaboration with Epical. Since 2011, we have jointly delivered integration solutions to leading Swedish companies, helping them navigate complex digital transformations.
Through this partnership, we have successfully implemented distributed teams that work seamlessly across geographies, ensuring robust, scalable, and future-proof integration solutions. Our ability to collaborate effectively with Epical has been a testament to the strength of our processes, technical acumen, and commitment to excellence.
