What DNK Software offers

• Project-based offshore teams — requirement analysis, estimates and a team assembled quickly to build or maintain a system.
• Enterprise solutions — analysis of a client's problems, proposed solutions and development on open-source platforms.
• Language support — English-speaking developers, plus a bridge software engineer or a Japanese communicator who also helps with testing.
