Intertec International

Software engineering and cloud delivery

Intertec International builds custom software and handles cloud migration and infrastructure management for companies that want their applications moved, maintained and kept running. Its engineering practice starts with development work and extends into DevOps as a service, a support model that connects the people who write software with the people who operate it. The aim, as the company frames it, is to shorten the gap between building a product and keeping it in service.

Testing, quality and compliance

Test engineering and quality assurance make up another strand of the business. The company describes software testing at scale, the sort of programme where a large volume of checks needs to run reliably across releases. Next to it sits governance, risk and compliance work, where Intertec offers advisory services and managed support for organisations that must show they meet internal policies and external rules. The firm has published guides and a short deck explaining how it approaches that work.

Managed cyber security and endpoint protection

The managed cyber security service covers endpoint protection, which is the layer that guards the laptops, desktops and other devices people use to reach company systems. The company says this protection works alongside application performance, so that security and the software it defends are looked after together rather than as two separate projects. It also publishes its information security management system policy, which sets out how the firm handles that responsibility internally.

Device management and Microsoft work

Intertec holds a Microsoft certified partnership and offers Intune and mobile device management services, which control how company phones, tablets and computers are configured and secured. Its work is built on the Microsoft technology stack, and it lists SAP services among its capabilities. The firm also says it is an Oracle Gold Partner, a status it presents as evidence of depth in that vendor's products.

Technical services beyond software

The firm's engineering background reaches well past software. Its technical services include design and analysis, programme and project management, technical publications and graphic illustration, and mechanical and electrical project engineering. It also covers embedded systems, supply chain and procurement, and subject matter experts who advise on programmes. Content management and business analysis round out the list, so a single client can bring in engineers, analysts and writers from the same firm.

Nearshore delivery from Costa Rica

Intertec runs a nearshore technology centre in Costa Rica for clients who want outsourced IT and technical work close to their own time zones. The company points to the country's strategic location, its stable economy, its democratic government, a growing and well-educated technical workforce and an overall climate that suits outsourcing. Its engagement models are flexible, and the firm says it uses the country's advantages alongside its own technical expertise to build customised solutions.

Joining a larger technology group

Intertec is moving into a larger corporate family, with the parent group based in Vietnam. The company says it will continue serving its existing clients while drawing on that group's resources to meet rising demand for agile software engineering. Clients who already work with Intertec should see the same teams and services, now supported by a bigger global organisation.
