Everything You Need to Know About Outsourcing to NOVEK
Why outsource software development to Ethiopia instead of India or Eastern Europe?
Ethiopia offers a powerful trifecta: an elite, rapidly growing STEM talent pool, English-first technical education, a strategic UTC+3 time zone that perfectly overlaps with Europe and the US East Coast, and compelling cost arbitrage (65%–75% savings compared to Western tech salaries). Unlike saturated markets, Ethiopian engineers offer high loyalty, passionate dedication, and low turnover.
How does NOVEK ensure the code quality of its developers?
We enforce rigorous engineering practices across all client engagements: strict TypeScript typing, comprehensive unit and integration testing, mandatory peer code reviews, continuous CI/CD pipelines, and adherence to clean architecture principles. You have full transparency and direct access to GitHub repositories from day one.
How does the 14-Day Risk-Free Trial work?
When you onboard a dedicated developer or engineering pod from NOVEK, you work with them directly in your real environment for two weeks. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with their velocity, communication, or code quality, you can cancel immediately and you will not be billed.
Who owns the intellectual property (IP) and source code?
You own 100% of all intellectual property, source code, documentation, and design assets from the moment they are written. Our contracts include comprehensive international IP assignment clauses and confidentiality covenants.
Can we sign a Mutual NDA before sharing our project roadmap?
Yes, absolutely. We routinely sign Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (MNDAs) with US, European, and global clients prior to our first technical discovery call. We are happy to review and sign your company's standard NDA or provide our standard mutual NDA.
How do international payments work?
We support flexible, seamless international payment rails including direct SWIFT international bank transfers (USD, EUR, GBP), Wise for Business (low-fee ACH and SEPA transfers), and major corporate credit cards via Stripe for monthly retainers.
How proficient is your team in English communication?
All NOVEK software architects, engineers, and project leads operate in professional, fluent English. We conduct daily standups, write comprehensive technical documentation, and communicate asynchronously via Slack or Jira with the same clarity and responsiveness as a domestic Western engineering team.
