Understanding that modern global clients need more than simply hiring software professionals to help them build software products, Mistral operates on a Product Development as-a-Service (PDaaS) model. This means our focus is on highly customized services and a meticulous approach to understanding clients’ technical requirements and software delivery needs. We apply different engagement models, with different types of expertise at different stages of product development, based on the type of client company and the business environment in which the product is being developed. As a Product Development as-a-Service company, Maestral confidently steps in at any point in the product life-cycle:

• our Innovation Team drives ideas to solutions during Design Thinking Workshops
• our Experts in Tech, UX, and PMO analyze, design, and plan out client Product Roadmap in Discover Engagement
• our deep-tech Delivery Teams build with a relentless security, quality, and time-to-value focus
• our Sustain Teams ensure the solution is operated at the expected SLA.

Practicing PDaaS also means we are a trusted advisor and a competent, price-competitive Technology Partner for your Product Initiatives. We not only drive the delivery process; our team members can offer valuable input into the conceptualization of the product itself. They are empowered and expected to speak up, identify problems and offer solutions with a relentless focus on the target. We insist on transparent, professional, two-way communication at all times, and believe that win-win scenarios only exist when both parties have the same philosophical approach to building software. These key traits turn our clients into long term partners.
