Plus8Soft is a software development outsourcing and team augmentation company founded in 2022 by Evgeniy Zhdanov and Timur Iusubaliev. While the company has only been active for three years, it has successfully completed over 100 projects, earning a worldwide user base of 5 million.
Plus8Soft has also become a certified partner of Amazon, Google, and IBM, and is currently participating in several key international competitions, including EY Entrepreneur of the Year, IAOP Global Outsourcing 100, and the Financial Times FT1000.
Here’s how Plus8Soft achieved these results through a unique approach to the outsourcing process.
The expertise
Plus8Soft was founded as a result of a merger of the businesses of Timur Iusubaliev and Evgeniy Zhdanov. By 2022, both Evgeniy and Timur had extensive experience in the industry. Timur had been specializing in building engineering teams, architecture, and scaling technical solutions for over 15 years, while Evgeniy had founded and developed two digital marketing companies.
The idea of unification was born after Evgeniy completed his business education at Stanford Graduate School of Business. During that time, he realized that the current industry requires a new software development model — something focused on business expertise and loyal partnerships instead of simple engineer outsourcing.
Plus8Soft was envisioned as an AI-first company that combines technological, product, and business expertise to create high-value-added solutions. Both Timur and Evgeniy had been working with AI for a decade by that point. Timur was among the first to code AI solutions, while Evgeniy used the technology as early as 2012, so focusing on its capabilities was a clear priority right from the start.
The approach
Plus8Soft’s unique outsourcing approach is what enabled the company to get a strong position in the market and earn multiple loyal partnerships in a short period of time. Unlike most of its competitors, Plus8Soft doesn’t stop at providing outsourcing services — the team is also committed to helping clients grow their businesses through industry insights and shared experience.
“We entered a conservative market with the idea that developers and consultants could do more than just write code — they could solve clients’ business problems better than the clients themselves. Many were skeptical, especially those who believed no one could understand their business more deeply. But practice proved otherwise,” says Evgeniy Zhdanov, CEO of Plus8Soft.
With a perfect 5.0 rating on Clutch, Plus8Soft’s way of handling outsourcing has proven itself in practice, but it isn’t the only thing that ensures the company’s services stand out. Plus8Soft is also a completely transparent company that ensures mutual understanding with its clients at all times through open communication and clear cost estimates offered upfront.
The team also places emphasis on personalization and an individual approach, looking for ways to perfectly align its solutions with the client’s needs. This flexibility, combined with an agile workflow, enables Plus8Soft to scale resources on demand and ensure successful outcomes.
“Working with Plus8Soft has been a game-changer for our company. Their talented team didn’t just bring technical expertise to the table; they became an extension of our own workforce, working hand in hand to design solutions. Plus8Soft genuinely cares about the outcome. This is evident in every interaction, line of code, and solution they deliver,” says Jenn Heil, CEO of Rya Health.
The workflow
Plus8Soft’s outsourcing workflow is a well-established system that is divided into five key stages:
- Discovery and planning. During the first phase, Plus8Soft defines project goals and analyzes necessary aspects — from requirements to technical feasibility. This results in a clear roadmap for the project.
- Design and prototyping. The team creates the architecture, user experience (UX), and user interface (UI) design.
- Development and testing. The team writes code and conducts rigorous quality assurance (QA) testing (unit, integration, and performance).
- Deployment and launch. Plus8Soft finalizes the project and releases the application into the live environment.
- Support and maintenance. Plus8Soft continues to provide post-launch bug fixes, updates, important security patches, and feature enhancements.
What’s next for Plus8Soft?
After working with businesses representing multiple industries (from healthcare to finance), Plus8Soft is committed to expanding its reach further, planning to cover most areas of software development and AI integration eventually. The team is also focused on increasing its capabilities by growing its staff.
