Why Orbus?

1. Partnership

We started a partnership with Orbus Software in 2014 by providing QA services.

1. Products

The two main products we are working on are iServer and iServer 365. They include mainly software development, QA, and consulting work.

1. Team

Large and friendly: around 60 professionals work on Orbus Software projects at N-iX. Currently, there are several teams on this project at N-iX including iServer, iServer 365, consultancy, support, BI, website, solutions hub, as well as a tech writer and DevOps.

1. Relationship

Open communication is one of the key attributes of this partnership. There is no hierarchy in collaboration and everyone is on the same level. The client is open and shares their vision and roadmap with us, so we always know what to expect.

1. Professional growth

The professionals always have support however they want to grow – horizontally or vertically. There are many cases of switching competence from manual to automation QA, testing to development, etc.

1. Knowledge-sharing culture

The teams actively practice knowledge exchange. Depending on the expertise (software development, QA, etc.), the specialists have regular meetings to discuss tech questions and share knowledge.

Client says

They do take time to understand your business. It’s not just – here’s some developers and QA’s – it’s what is it you’re trying to achieve and how can we align with that.
