"bitHeads was an excellent services partner for ObjecTime. They operated as a natural extension of our internal field services team. Using their extensive design and development experience, bitHeads was able to consistently integrate our tools into unique client environments and repeatedly assist our clients in the design and creation of their award-winning products."
– Jim McGee, former CEO, ObjecTime (now IBM/Rational)

 Too many new software products launch late, cost too much to build or miss the quality mark. It simply takes a lot of time and money to ramp up a team of qualified professionals and get them working together with a methodology that ensures predictable, quality results.
Getting outside help may be a solution but most outsourcers do not have the experience or partnering model required for successful new software product creation. Many software development companies focus on custom software projects – a very different challenge compared to building commercial products. Other outsourcers are essentially staffing services that provide individual contractors that must be integrated into your team and closely managed by you. Offshore-located outsourcers may be a good choice for routine maintenance work on mature products where the level of innovation is low and you can afford delays. All of these approaches have their place but are very risky for developing the new software products that your business survival depends on.
Our ProductStream™ approach is different. Product companies rely on us to accelerate and de-risk their product development process. We tackle tough problems and deliver great new products on-time and on-budget. We engage with you as a product delivery partner. We can rapidly deploy a cohesive, crack team of software professionals that have already worked successfully together using our proven methodology. Our ProductStream team can work as an extension to your in-house development group or independently, taking full responsibility for product delivery. Our track record speaks for itself and we put our money where our mouth is. We offer fixed pricing, performance-based incentives and other risk-sharing financial partnerships.
