The Enterprise Challenge

Strategic Engineering Partnership, Not Just Outsourcing

Enterprise organizations need more than developers. You need a strategic partner who understands governance, compliance, and the complexity of large-scale software delivery.

Enterprise Complexity

Multi-Team Coordination

Managing multiple engineering streams across time zones is complex. Inconsistent quality and communication gaps slow everything down.

Security & Compliance

SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI—enterprise compliance requirements are non-negotiable. Vendors who don't understand this create risk.

Scaling Predictably

You need to add significant capacity for major initiatives without the 6-12 month hiring cycle or quality compromises.

Vendor Accountability

Traditional outsourcing means finger-pointing when things go wrong. You need a partner with skin in the game.

Enterprise Software Development Partnerships

Beyond Outsourcing: Strategic Partnership

Enterprise organizations have moved beyond viewing offshore development as simple cost arbitrage. Today's leading companies seek strategic partners who can provide sustained engineering capacity with enterprise-grade governance.

At Salt, we've built our enterprise practice around the understanding that you need more than developers—you need a partner who understands your business context, operates with accountability, and can scale with your evolving needs.

What Makes a Strategic Partnership

  • Executive engagement: Your leadership talks to our leadership, not just project managers
  • Long-term commitment: We invest in understanding your domain and retaining institutional knowledge
  • Shared accountability: SLAs with financial consequences, not just handshakes
  • Continuous improvement: Regular business reviews focused on value delivered, not just hours worked
  • Scalable capacity: Ability to grow from 5 to 50+ engineers without quality degradation

Enterprise-Grade Governance

Enterprise engagements require formal governance that provides visibility, accountability, and risk management. Our governance framework includes:

Organizational Structure

  • Client Partner: Senior relationship owner with executive access
  • Program Manager: For multi-Pod engagements, coordinates across teams
  • Tech Lead per Pod: Technical ownership and quality accountability
  • Escalation paths: Clear escalation from delivery to executive level

Reporting & Reviews

  • Real-time dashboards: Sprint progress, velocity, quality metrics
  • Weekly status: Delivery updates and blocker resolution
  • Monthly executive reports: Value delivered, risks, and recommendations
  • Quarterly business reviews: Strategic alignment and roadmap planning

Our Enterprise Scaling Model

Enterprise clients often start with a pilot and scale based on results. Our model is designed for predictable scaling while maintaining quality:

The Pod Structure

Each Pod is a cross-functional team of 3-8 engineers with a Tech Lead. Pods are autonomous units that can own a product, feature set, or technology domain. Learn more about our Pod model.

Scaling Phases

  1. Pilot (1 Pod): 3-6 months to prove value and calibrate collaboration
  2. Growth (2-4 Pods): Scale successful patterns to additional workstreams
  3. Strategic (5+ Pods): Full program structure with dedicated management layer

At each phase, we add appropriate governance and coordination without over-engineering. The goal is effective delivery, not bureaucracy.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise security requirements are non-negotiable. We've built our organization to meet enterprise standards:

Certifications & Standards

  • SOC 2 Type II: Annual certification with clean reports
  • HIPAA support: BAA available, HIPAA-compliant practices
  • PCI-DSS: Experience with payment and financial systems
  • GDPR: Data protection and privacy compliance support

Security Practices

  • Mandatory security training for all engineers
  • Background checks and NDAs
  • Secure development practices (OWASP, secure code review)
  • Security scanning in CI/CD pipelines
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Access controls and principle of least privilege
