Incubation

Over the last 10 years, Encore has helped several software product companies take their ideas to fruition. We offer a broad horizon of product engineering services including help select technologies, develop architectural footprint, product development, testing and support.

We know that product development and incubation team requires an entirely different mindset; ability to work with evolving and imprecise requirements, focus on innovation, long term vs. short term choices, technology adoption etc.

Encore has incubated several successful software product companies and has built a strong technical team who are an expert in Software Product Development.
