Market context

Bank IT budgets are growing faster than teams

Kazakhstan. Banks spend about a billion dollars a year on IT, a third of it on digital channels, while experienced engineers now cost 0.8–1 M ₸ a month, so launching a new business line in-house is limited by hiring, not by budget. Uzbekistan. Employment in the IT Park more than doubled in a year, but banks compete for experienced specialists with exporters earning foreign currency — a ready team with handover to the client closes the gap faster.

Turnkey business unit — Build-Operate-Transfer: building, launching and transferring a business line to the client

The business line is built on ready-made modules or developed for the task. After launch, the team runs operations and prepares the handover; further support is agreed separately.

Why choose Build-Operate-Transfer

Hiring

A team for the new business line

Team composition depends on the task and stage. Hiring, operations and the subsequent transfer to the client are part of the business line plan.

Result

Stage-by-stage acceptance

Scope of work, acceptance criteria and KPIs are set in the contract. Missed targets are reviewed before deciding on the next stage.

Handover

Plan for independent operation

Code ownership, documentation, access and team transfer are agreed in advance. Independent operation after handover requires the client’s team to be ready.
