Is Build-Operate-Transfer right for you?

The BOT model works when you want the speed of an outsourced team today, with a clear path to owning that team outright later.

when to choose

Build-Operate-Transfer

  • You want to build a dedicated offshore team without owning the setup risk upfront.

  • You're planning a long-term R&D presence, not a single project.

  • You want a defined path to full ownership, not permanent vendor dependency.

  • You need to move fast now, and formalize ownership once the model is proven.

Different Model

  • You want Devico to own delivery permanently, not transition to you → look at our software development outsourcing services.

  • You want to keep managing the roadmap yourself from day one, without a transfer phase → look at our dedicated team service.

  • You just need to hire directly in a country without an entity → look at our employer of record services.
