“We are very pleased with our relationship with STAG and highly recommend working with
     them. I find that many firms focus on cost per resource, but in my experience, this is the
   wrong metric. The real key to selecting an offshore development/QA partner is productivity
    per dollar (or pound) versus cost/resource. To this extent, we have found STAG to provide
                                        exceptional value.”
