Build your AI-ready Extended TeamĀ®

Experienced developers are hard to find locally. We build you a dedicated team in Moldova that already works with AI and shares your working hours.

Trusted by software companies across Western Europe

THE CHALLENGE

AI is changing how software is built

Many software companies face the same situation. You want to move faster, build smarter, and integrate AI into your product, but adapting your team takes time. An AI-ready team is made up of developers who already use AI tools in their daily work, instead of having to learn them first.

Evolving Workflows

Modern collaboration requires a fundamental shift in how teams approach daily operations and strategy.

The AI Divide

Competitive advantages are shifting as the technical gap between legacy and AI-integrated teams widens.

Skill Expectations

Mastery of AI-driven tools is no longer optional for developers; it is now a core requirement for efficiency.

Project Friction

Operational bottlenecks occur when teams lack the proper training to integrate new intelligent frameworks.

THE SOLUTION

Your Extended TeamĀ®, built for how modern software teams work

Backstage IT helps companies across Western Europe build nearshore extended development teams in Moldova, developers who already work with AI. These are not freelancers or outsourced resources. They become a real part of your company. So you can hire developers without the overhead of your own office.

Your company

You stay in control: of the work, the processes, and how AI is used in your product.
