Hiring developers in Australia was costly and slow. ConnectOne worked with an Acube team instead — and kept it for several years.

A software company that grows has two kinds of work: its own product, and the projects it delivers for clients. Both need developers, and both need them now. When local hiring is expensive and slow, and the skills needed keep changing between mobile, web and back end, every new project raises the same question: who is going to build it?
That was the situation at ConnectOne, a software and IT company in Australia. Local hiring was too costly, they couldn't hire fast enough, they needed skills they didn't have, and they wanted the freedom to scale the team up and down.
Acube gave ConnectOne a team of three or more developers working on ConnectOne's own product and its clients' projects — mobile and web apps — in Flutter, React / Angular and Spring Boot. The team worked inside ConnectOne's tools and processes, with daily stand-ups and calls. The result was a long-term partnership: the engagement ran for several years, starting before 2019.

ConnectOne needed engineering capacity that local hiring couldn't supply on the terms it needed.
Developers in Australia were expensive.
Projects needed people sooner than recruitment could deliver them.
The work spanned mobile, web and back end.
The amount of work changed, and the team had to change with it.
The cost of staying as-is: for a software company, every project you can't staff is revenue you turn away — or a deadline you miss.
A team that worked as part of ConnectOne — in its tools, on its backlog — not a supplier at arm's length.
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| 3+ developers | A team sized to ConnectOne's work. |
| Flutter | Cross-platform mobile apps for Android and iOS. |
| React / Angular | Web front ends. |
| Spring Boot | Java back-end services. |
| ConnectOne's product and clients' projects | The same team covered the company's own software and the work it delivered to its customers. |
| Their tools and processes | The team worked in ConnectOne's repositories and ticketing, with daily stand-ups and calls. |
ConnectOne didn't give us a measured figure, so we are not quoting one. The outcome they named is the one that matters most in staff augmentation:
An offshore team that lasts years rather than months is one that delivered — for the company's own product and for its clients.
Two choices made it work across countries. The first was working inside ConnectOne's own tools and processes. The team used ConnectOne's repositories and tickets and joined daily stand-ups and calls, so the work was visible to ConnectOne in the same way as its own staff's. Nothing had to be translated between two systems.
The second was range. Because the team covered Flutter, React / Angular and Spring Boot, it could take on mobile, web and back-end work alike — for ConnectOne's own product and for its clients' projects — rather than ConnectOne needing a different supplier for each. Acube has been in business since 2011, and 70% of our work comes by referral.
An offshore team like ConnectOne's is worth considering when:
Hiring developers locally is expensive or slow.
, and you need all three skills.
as well as building your own product.
, and the team needs to follow it.
, not a black-box vendor.
If that's you, start with the next three months of work and the skills it needs. That sets the size and shape of the first team.

ConnectOne's team worked in ConnectOne's own tools and processes, with daily stand-ups and calls.
Flutter for mobile, React / Angular for web front ends, and Spring Boot for back-end services.
Yes. ConnectOne's team did both.
