Pwrteams services are now part of Nortal’s IT outsourcing offering

Pwrteams is now part of Nortal

This means that companies searching for Pwrteams’ former services can now find those capabilities under Nortal’s IT outsourcing services.

Nortal’s IT outsourcing offering covers two main service models:

IT staff augmentation and dedicated engineering teams for companies that need fast, flexible access to skilled engineers, developers, QA specialists, DevOps engineers, data specialists and other technology roles.
Global Capability Centers, or GCCs, for companies that need long-term, governed delivery capability across multiple teams, locations or business functions.

The goal is the same: to help companies build engineering capacity that works in the real world, with strong matching, stable teams, clear governance and delivery support.

IT staff augmentation

Nortal’s IT staff augmentation service helps companies extend their existing technology teams with skilled specialists or complete delivery teams.

This service covers several common ways companies look for engineering capacity:

team augmentation, when a company needs to add specialists to an existing team
dedicated teams, when a company needs a stable team focused on a specific product, platform or delivery area
nearshore engineering teams, when a company wants to build dedicated capacity in nearby European talent markets such as Poland, Bulgaria or Ukraine

This can include software developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, cloud engineers, data engineers, AI and machine learning specialists, product roles, UX/UI specialists and other technical experts. In each case, the goal is not only to add people. The goal is to build engineering capacity that fits the client’s tools, workflows, rituals, delivery rhythm, engineering standards and quality expectations.

Teams can typically start within 4–8 weeks, depending on role mix, seniority and market availability. Nortal’s model is supported by 95.7% talent retention and a 96% trial-period pass rate.

Nortal has practical experience across Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine, including talent availability, seniority mix, hiring timelines, employer costs, notice periods, retention and delivery setup.

Team augmentation

Team augmentation is part of Nortal’s IT staff augmentation service. It helps companies add experienced technology specialists to existing teams when internal capacity is limited or specific skills are missing.

This can include software developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, cloud engineers, data engineers, AI and machine learning specialists, UX/UI experts, product roles and other technical specialists. The added specialists work as part of the client’s team, using the client’s tools, communication channels, engineering standards and delivery processes.

Dedicated teams

Dedicated teams are also part of Nortal’s IT staff augmentation service. This model is useful when a company needs a stable group of specialists working together over time, rather than one or two individual contributors.

A dedicated team can support software development, QA, DevOps, cloud, data, product engineering, embedded systems, automation engineering or other technical areas. The team is built around the client’s roadmap, product context and delivery priorities. It works as an extension of the client’s organisation, not as a separate external unit.

Nearshore engineering teams

Nearshore engineering teams are a way to build dedicated team capacity in nearby talent markets. Within Nortal’s IT staff augmentation service, this can include nearshore teams in Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine.

These markets are relevant for companies that need strong technical skills, good time-zone overlap with European teams and practical delivery alignment. Nortal’s role is not only to find available engineers. It is to help companies build teams that are well-matched, properly onboarded and stable enough to support long-term delivery.

Global Capability Centers

Nortal builds and operates Global Capability Centers for companies that need long-term, governed delivery capability.

A Global Capability Center can help companies scale engineering or operations across locations while keeping control over standards, priorities and outcomes.

Nortal manages the operational backbone, including talent acquisition, onboarding, HR, payroll, compliance, infrastructure, governance and continuous improvement.

The client keeps control of the roadmap, engineering culture and delivery priorities.

Nortal’s GCC model is designed for companies that need more than short-term capacity. It supports long-term capability building with transparent governance, compliance support, operational control, 20+ delivery hubs, 4,000+ experts and ISO-certified delivery.

How Nortal adds stable engineering capacity

Companies usually start looking for staff augmentation, dedicated teams or IT outsourcing when internal capacity cannot keep up with delivery pressure.

The problem is rarely “we need more people” in isolation.

The real problem is usually one of these:

hiring is too slow in the local market
senior technical roles are hard to fill
engineering roadmaps are blocked by capacity gaps
teams need niche skills in cloud, DevOps, AI, data or modern software development
delivery needs to move faster without lowering quality
contractor churn is creating rework and onboarding overhead
the company wants nearshore capacity but needs governance, compliance and delivery visibility

Nortal’s model is built to solve these problems with long-term engineering capacity, strong talent matching, delivery governance and stable teams.

The focus is not just on finding people. The focus is on finding talent that will stay, integrate and deliver.

Why companies trust Nortal to build engineering teams in CEE

Building engineering teams is not only about finding available developers. It is about creating a setup that can work in practice.

Companies need the right skills, but also the right structure, communication rhythm, security standards, delivery model and long-term team stability.

That is where Nortal’s experience across Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine matters.

Nortal helps companies build team augmentation setups, dedicated engineering teams and Global Capability Centers in Central and Eastern Europe, with practical knowledge of local talent markets, delivery setup, onboarding, compliance and long-term retention.

The model is designed to create engineering teams that are:

Embedded – teams work within the client’s tools, rituals, processes and delivery environment. They are not kept at arm’s length from the real work.
Stable – long-term continuity matters. Nortal’s delivery model is designed to support strong retention and reduce the cost of constant team churn.
Governed – team augmentation should not mean “here are some people, good luck”. Nortal adds delivery structure, quality oversight and operational support.
Scalable – companies can start with a few senior specialists, build a dedicated engineering team, or grow into a larger Global Capability Center setup as business needs evolve.
Close to your market – with nearshore engineering teams in Europe, companies can access strong technical talent while keeping collaboration practical across time zones.

This experience is supported by:

4–8 weeks to start most teams, depending on role mix, seniority and market availability
95.7% talent retention
96% trial-period pass rate
20+ delivery hubs
4,000+ experts
ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified delivery framework

The strongest results come from teams that are well-matched, properly onboarded, integrated into the client’s ways of working, and stable enough to understand the product, codebase, business context and delivery standards.

How companies build engineering capability with Nortal

Nortal’s IT outsourcing services include long-term engineering teams, nearshore delivery hubs, dedicated back-office teams and Global Capability Center-style operations.

Below are examples of how companies have used Nortal to build or extend delivery capability.

TUI Group

Building delivery hubs in Poland and Ukraine

TUI Group worked with Nortal to build scalable delivery hubs in Poland and Ukraine.

The setup grew into dedicated hubs embedded into TUI’s engineering organisation and supporting critical travel technology platforms.

This is a strong example of Global Capability Center-style delivery, where the goal is not only to add engineering capacity, but to build a long-term, governed capability that works as part of the client’s organisation.

c-Quilibrium

Extending a fintech software development team

c-Quilibrium, a Belgian fintech company, worked with Nortal to scale its software development capability.

The company first started with two software developers, then expanded the cooperation into multiple teams supporting core product development, DevOps, innovation and QA.

The collaboration shows how a small pilot can grow into a long-term engineering setup when the team fits the client’s domain, communication style and delivery expectations.

The partnership grew from a two-developer pilot into a broader team setup supporting product development, DevOps and QA. It is a clear example of how staff augmentation can evolve into a stable, long-term delivery model.

Agidens

Building a dedicated engineering back office in Poland

Agidens partnered with Nortal to build a dedicated engineering back office in Kraków, Poland.

The team gave Agidens access to PLC/SCADA engineers, electrical designers and electrical and instrumentation specialists at a time when technical talent was hard to secure in Belgium and the Netherlands.

This case shows that Nortal’s staff augmentation and dedicated team model can support not only software development, but also engineering, automation and industrial technology roles.

It is also a useful example of how nearshore teams can support specialised technical work beyond standard software development.
