Plus8Soft is a software development outsourcing and team augmentation company founded in 2022 by Timur Iusubaliev and Evgeniy Zhdanov. Over the past three years, the company has become a certified partner of Google, Amazon, and IBM, and completed over 100 projects, achieving a perfect 5.0 score on Clutch.
Established as an AI-first company, Plus8Soft relies on its founders’ extensive experience with the technology to achieve these results. Evgeniy Zhdanov, the company’s CEO, was among the early adopters of AI and used it in his projects as early as 2012. Timur Iusubaliev, Plus8Soft’s COO, was developing AI systems long before ChatGPT gained widespread attention.
Here’s how the combination of a unique outsourcing approach and effective implementation of AI enabled Plus8Soft to achieve impressive growth and reach over 5 million users worldwide.
The state of the software development industry and the impact of AI
Although software development has been a growing, high-demand industry for many years, the widespread use of AI has resulted in multiple new areas emerging in development. This technology has already become a significant part of everyday life for many people. It’s no surprise that the range of opportunities for integration has increased.
At the same time, efficient ways to use it aren’t fully understood yet, and many companies aren’t fully aware of the possibilities and limitations of the technology. As a result, companies often overestimate or underestimate the importance of AI tools, which leads to flawed solutions.
As Evgeniy notes, this is why a responsible approach to AI and developer oversight of AI-generated code is so crucial today, and why it may become a major trend in the coming years. This is also the reason why Plus8Soft introduced a new service — Vibe Code Cleanup — to help companies make their vibe-coded solutions truly functional.
At the same time, when used correctly, AI can become irreplaceable. For instance, Plus8Soft relies on the technology to prototype future solutions much more quickly, giving the client the chance to try out certain aspects of the product without waiting for months. As Evgeniy explains, this enables the company to test different options and saves time on filtering out early-stage ideas, resulting in quicker delivery times.
Plus8Soft’s outsourcing approach
Another thing that enables Plus8Soft to optimize time-to-market is its seamless outsourcing workflow, consisting of five stages.
- Discovery and planning — Plus8Soft will define goals for the project and analyze all the requirements and its technical feasibility, creating a clear and actionable roadmap.
- Design and prototyping — Plus8Soft will create the architecture, user experience, and user interface design.
- Development and testing — The team will write code and conduct rigorous quality assurance testing.
- Deployment and launch — Plus8Soft will release the application into the live environment.
- Support and maintenance — The team will provide post-launch bug fixes, updates, and important security patches to ensure that the application runs reliably.
“We have built businesses before and understand how many things besides development need to go right. Our genuine goal is to spare the client from the headaches that come with development,” says Evgeniy Zhdanov.
Plus8Soft puts an emphasis on transparent communication and establishing mutual understanding, which is why the team always offers cost estimates upfront and prioritizes the client’s unique requirements. Combined with an agile, highly adaptable work process, this delivers consistent results for every client.
“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.
New horizons
Considering Plus8Soft’s rapid growth, it is no surprise that it plans to increase its staff and expand its reach further, mostly focusing on software development and AI integration — after all, these are the team’s key areas of expertise. At the same time, the company participates in international competitions like EY Entrepreneur of the Year, IAOP Global Outsourcing 100, and the Financial Times FT1000 to increase brand awareness and gain more recognition in the field.
