The roadmap is larger than the internal team
Important work keeps slipping because the existing team is already committed to core operations, support or higher-priority product work.
Software development outsourcing
Galvia provides external software engineering capacity for organisations that need defined delivery, specialist capability or ongoing product work without building another permanent team first. We work with clear ownership, visible delivery and practical handover across web, mobile, cloud, data, APIs and IoT software.
Belfast-based software development outsourcing for organisations across the UK and Ireland.
Outsourcing should add delivery capacity without hiding the software, the decisions or the operational risk from the client.

When this becomes useful
The objective is not to “send development away”. It is to add dependable software capacity while keeping product decisions, technical ownership and business context connected.
Important work keeps slipping because the existing team is already committed to core operations, support or higher-priority product work.
A cloud, integration, mobile, data, IoT or modernisation workstream needs experienced engineering for a defined period.
You need to move work, stabilise ownership or continue delivery without losing access, knowledge or momentum.
How we start
We clarify what should be outsourced, what the internal team should continue to own and how the engagement needs to operate so software delivery does not become a black box.

Separate product decisions, architecture, engineering, acceptance and operational ownership so responsibilities are clear.
Agree backlog visibility, repositories, environments, documentation, communication and the path for escalation or handover.
Start with a defined project, specialist workstream or piece of backlog that can demonstrate how the relationship works in practice.
Galvia can deliver a defined project or provide ongoing engineering capacity. The right model depends on how much product and technical ownership sits inside the client team.
Relevant work
Galvia's public work includes projects where we have built alongside existing teams, extended established products and handed over maintainable capability rather than treating delivery as a closed supplier process.
Galvia delivered a shared SDK, demo application, documentation and hardware integration across Android and iOS, supporting a product team rather than isolating the work from it.

Talk to the people behind the work
Martin and the Galvia team can help define whether you need a bounded outsourced project, ongoing engineering capacity, a specialist workstream or a takeover phase - and what ownership should remain inside your organisation.
What we can take on
Galvia can take on a defined build or slot into a wider delivery model where the boundaries and ownership are clear.
A bounded application, integration, modernisation or product phase with agreed scope, milestones and acceptance.
Senior full-stack capacity for a continuing product or backlog where your organisation retains roadmap and product ownership.
API, cloud, data, mobile, IoT or legacy work that needs capability your current team does not have available.
Move work from a departing supplier or inherited codebase into a clearer support and delivery model. See Project Rescue and Legacy Application Support.

Before you enquire
It is using an external engineering partner to deliver some or all of a software workstream. The useful distinction is who owns product decisions, architecture, engineering, operations and the ongoing roadmap.
Staff augmentation usually adds people into a client-led team and backlog. Outsourcing can place more delivery responsibility with the external partner for a defined project or workstream. The models can overlap.
Ownership and access should be agreed explicitly before work begins. We favour delivery models where repositories, environments, documentation and operational knowledge remain clear and portable.
Yes. Galvia can take a specialist workstream, deliver a bounded project or provide capacity alongside internal engineers where responsibilities are clear.
Yes, but inherited systems often need a short takeover or technical review first so source code, access, deployment, dependencies and immediate risk are understood.
No. Galvia is a Belfast-based software engineering and digital transformation company. We work with UK and international organisations that need external engineering capacity and practical delivery support.
