The offshore economics, without the offshore procurement problem.
Most enterprises cannot buy offshore development directly. Vendor onboarding requires a domestic entity, a W-9, a certificate of insurance, an MSA, and a security review — which rules out the firms that would otherwise be cost-competitive.
StratEdge is a U.S. company. Your procurement team processes us the way they process any domestic vendor. The engineering economics happen on our side of the contract, not yours.
Procurement
What your vendor-onboarding checklist needs
U.S. legal entity
StratEdge Global LLC. You contract with a domestic company, not an offshore vendor.
W-9 and COI on request
Standard documentation package available before the first call if you need it for vendor onboarding.
MSA and DPA
We work from your paper or ours. DPA available for engagements processing personal data.
Data residency
Client data stays in U.S. regions. EU-region processing available on request for EU entities.
Background-checked engineers
Government ID verification, signed NDA and IP assignment, per-project confidentiality terms.
Timezone-aligned staffing
We staff for a stated overlap window with your team and commit to it in the SOW.
Engagement shapes that fit enterprise
- Dedicated pod
- A standing team embedded with your existing engineering org. Monthly retainer, 6–12 month commitment, named engineers, disclosed identity under NDA.
- Staff augmentation
- Per-seat monthly. Your PM, your process, our engineers. Lowest management overhead on our side, which is reflected in the rate.
- Program delivery
- A multi-workstream initiative with phased SOWs. We carry the delivery management; you carry the business decisions.
Where we are on compliance
Stated honestly, because overclaiming here is how a deal dies at diligence rather than at qualification.
- In placeEncryption at rest and in transit, MFA on all staff accounts, row-level data isolation, append-only audit log
- In placePublished subprocessor list, DPA on request, documented incident response
- PlannedExternal penetration test
- PlannedSOC 2 Type I, then Type II
- On requestHIPAA readiness assessment, ISO 27001
If you have a hard compliance requirement, raise it on the first call. We would rather disqualify ourselves early than waste your security team’s time.
Start with a paid pilot.
No enterprise should sign a six-figure SOW with an unproven vendor. Run a discovery sprint or a single-milestone pilot first, evaluate the actual output, then decide.
- Fixed fee, two to four weeks
- Real deliverable you keep regardless of what happens next
- Full process exposure — you see how we scope, build, and QA
- Credited against the first full engagement
