He emphasizes that this would not have been possible without the skilled clients in Norway with whom the developers in Dhaka collaborate.
– A large part of our success is about the collaboration with Norwegian clients. They set clear quality requirements while providing our developers with security, trust, and ownership of their work. This creates both job satisfaction and good results, explains Shaon.
