We build the bridge to top IT talent for you

L-One Systems is based in Darmstadt. In 2018, we established a development team at a barely developed offshore location: in Damascus, Syria.

From there, the L-One IT experts work in dedicated teams on software projects for and with our customers - in a modern office with fiber optic connection and its own solar power system. Since its foundation, our offshore team has been growing steadily.

Building the cultural bridge – how does that work?

Adhering to deadlines and processes, addressing problems openly: What we take for granted can lead to misunderstandings when working with offshore developers.

 

To make sure this doesn't happen, we at L-One build the cultural bridge for you: Our Head of Software Development trains new team members in the Western work culture. Afterwards, he regularly evaluates the developers' performance.

 

"The development process with L-One is very structured. But the development team also responds quickly to our ad hoc requests and implements decisions at short notice."

Laura Stephan, Product Manager at Solorrow
about working with L-One (to the Case Study)

New members of our offshore development team are trained in Western work culture.

Good communication is crucial for success

At L-One, we only hire developers who speak English very well. Moreover, we support our offshore developer team to train and further improve these language skills on a regular basis.

 

The time difference to Damascus is small: it is only 1 hour during summer time and 2 hours during winter time. Therefore, L-One developers easily adapt to your meeting culture.

 

"The developers at L-One are reliable, professional and act independently. If content sometimes gets lost in translation, they make sure that even non-developers understand complicated issues."

Why a hotel is ideal as an office

The L-One office in Damascus is housed in a former hotel. The advantage is that each dedicated team has a separate room there.

 

There, the developers work on their joint customer project, exchange ideas and communicate remotely with your in-house IT team via your communication channels.

 

Your own solar power system and a fiber optic connection ensure a reliable power supply and a good, stable Internet connection.

Your dedicated team of developers will work intensively on your business case and vision during the onboarding phase.

insights

Are you looking for qualified offshore developers?

Our hiring process is demanding. We can set high standards: L-One is one of the most attractive employers in Damascus. We attract the best talent - thanks to above-average salaries, exciting customers and a motivating corporate culture.

 

We test professional competence and experience in intensive job interviews and with technical tests. Soft skills also play an important role: anyone who wants to work for L-One must speak very good English and prove that they are committed, responsible and a team player.

 

"Our biggest challenge in software development: finding developers who can quickly get to grips with existing code and develop new functions based on that. With the team of L-One we have found a good partner."

Michael Witzke, CEO of blink.it
about the partnership with L-One (to the Case Study)

Do you want to work with the same offshore developers in the long term?

We have established employee retention programs. Our developers enjoy working at L-One and for our customers - with expertise, commitment and team spirit.

 

If one of them plans to leave L-One, our proven handover process kicks in: We select a suitable developer in consultation with you and work him or her into your project. That way, things continue seamlessly.

If a developer from your dedicated team leaves L-One, the other team members will fully train the successor.

Do you want your development team to be at the cutting edge of technology?

We place a lot of emphasis on continuing education. In regular meetings, the technical teams (e.g. the backend team) exchange information on new tools, best practice examples and more.

Every developer has a personal development plan. Our incentive system motivates learning: Our Head of Software Development regularly assesses performance and experience levels together with his team. Those who perform well move up the career ladder.

FAQ – Dedicated offshore development teams from L-One Systems

What happens when a developer leaves L-One?

For every customer we build a dedicated team of at least two offshore developers. This way we build up long-term project know-how together with your in-house team - independent of individual developers. L-One manages this know-how for you. This means: If a developer from your team leaves L-One, the other team members will train the successor comprehensively. Your project continues seamlessly.

 

Do the L-One teams in Darmstadt and Damascus belong to the same company?

 

No, that is not possible for legal reasons. We have set up our own company for our site in Syria, with which we have concluded an exclusive contract: The employees of L-One LLC in Damascus work exclusively for projects of the German L-One GmbH. In return, the LLC is allowed to use the employer brand "L-One", which has a very good reputation in Damascus.

Is it employee leasing if the developers work so closely with us?

No, our service counts as a software development service, not as employee leasing. Although our dedicated developer teams work operationally directly with our clients' in-house teams and often attend internal meetings, they are employed by L-One. You only pay for the days the developers have worked for you. You don't pay for vacation and sick time - unlike your own employees. We take care of disciplinary and organizational issues such as training and salary. If necessary, in consultation with you, for example with vacation requests.
