What we offer

Your center, our facility and employer setup

We run offshore development centers inside our own secure facility in Cebu Business Park, Philippines, under US management from Nixa, Missouri. We provide the people, the workspace, the infrastructure and the local employment, plus dedicated teams and support for every ODC client. You direct the work, and we keep the center staffed, secure and running.

Control without a foreign entity

An ODC gives you most of a captive center's control

An offshore development center is the largest of the offshore engagement models. Where a dedicated development team is one team on one product, an ODC is a standing operation that can hold several teams, grow over time and take on work across your company. It sits between a captive center, which needs your own entity, office, payroll and local management, and project outsourcing, where a provider delivers defined projects.

What you can expect

What runs inside your center

The facility, the hiring and the local employment are handled, while priorities, standards and tools stay with you.

Secure Facility

Work from a PCI and HIPAA compliant facility in Cebu Business Park with every engineer 100% onsite.

Always-On Infrastructure

Stay online with triple-redundant fiber, full-building backup power and 24/7 operations.

Recruiting and Vetting

Grow each team through a vetting process that about 1 in 20 applicants passes.

Local Employment and HR

Run a team abroad without registering a foreign entity or managing local payroll, benefits and HR.

Onsite Management

Get an account manager, an operations manager and a site director, all onsite and included.

Room to Scale

Start with a single seat and add teams as your roadmap grows.

Who it is for

Built for companies planning engineering capacity for years

An ODC fits when you expect to need engineering capacity across more than one team or product, and you have leadership who can set direction for a larger group.

Multi-Product Companies

You run several products that each need their own team. An ODC holds those teams under one roof with shared hiring and support. Each team works your process while the center keeps it staffed.

Firms Avoiding Foreign Entities

Registering a company abroad, leasing office space and running local HR takes time and legal work. With an ODC, eComia is the employer and runs the facility. You sign a US contract with eComia LLC instead.

Growing Dedicated Teams

Your dedicated team has proven itself and the roadmap now needs more people. An ODC lets that team become several, using the same hiring funnel and facility. You keep the knowledge already built while capacity grows.

Enterprise IT Departments

Large departments need a standing operation, not a series of short contracts. An ODC works like your own department, with your processes, tools and culture. Your people stay on your work and build knowledge over years.

Data and Analytics Programs

Data engineering and reporting work keeps growing once the first dashboards ship. An ODC can add data engineers alongside developers and QA as demand rises. You build an analytics capability without a separate hiring effort.

Cost-Focused Leadership

A US software developer earns well above $130,000 a year in median salary before benefits and overhead, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. An eComia ODC saves up to 70% all-in at a flat monthly rate per role. There are no setup, screening or equipment fees, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an ODC and a dedicated team?

Scale and scope. A dedicated team works on one product. An offshore development center can hold several teams and grow into a standing engineering department for your company.

Who owns the work my center produces?

You do. All code, credentials and intellectual property belong to you from day one under contractual IP assignment, and the work lives in your own repositories.

What is the minimum size for an ODC?

One seat. You can start an offshore development center with a single seat and add teams as your roadmap grows. Our teams typically range from 2 to 100 people.

Are there setup or facility fees?

No. Each role has a flat monthly rate, with no setup fees, no screening fees and no equipment fees, ever. The center's cost is the sum of its seats.

Is the center secure and supported?

Yes. Our operations are PCI and HIPAA compliant and every engineer works 100% onsite. Every ODC client gets dedicated teams and support, including an account manager, an operations manager and a site director, all onsite.

What does ODC mean?

ODC stands for offshore development center: a dedicated engineering operation abroad that works only for one client, run by a provider who handles the facility, hiring and employment.

Do I need to set up a company in the Philippines?

No. We employ the team and run the facility. You sign a US contract with eComia LLC, headquartered in Nixa, Missouri.

How do time zones work?

We operate 24/7 with full coverage of US business hours, so your center is working while your US office is open.

How long does it take to launch?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks from signing to a full team working. You meet and approve the first hires before they start.

Is there a minimum contract term?

No. There is no term contract, so your risk is one seat for one month. We work that way because your success is ours.
