The challenge

Over the years, the market demand for application and low-code development has been rapidly growing. On the other hand, First Technology’s clients are looking for nearshore model solutions for (high-code) development and maintenance of their applications in order to reduce costs and increase both up- and downscaling. To meet these demands, Typeqast and First Technology are joining forces. This collaboration gives clients the best of both worlds: the low-code and consultancy experience of First Technology, and the upscaling in nearshore areas from Typeqast. With this, we’re happy to introduce Typeqast low-coding.

With more than a hundred low-code specialists, First Technology – the technology branch of consultancy firm First Consulting, has built up a successful low-code practice in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. And even though the group of application developers has potentially grown much larger with the advent of low-code software, the strong demand for application development means that there is still a clear shortage of experienced low-code experts.

To meet this demand, First Consulting has been looking for an experienced partner in nearshore software development with the same high quality of consultants and IT services. “For Typeqast, the collaboration with First Technology means that we can expand our portfolio of technologies from back-end and front-end development to low-code development”, says Typeqast CEO Sonja Meijerink. “By setting up this collaboration, we have created an ideal combination through which we can leverage the low-code expertise of First Technology whilst also growing the field of nearshoring through the skills, scalability, and cost-efficiency of Typeqast.”

With these joined forces, Typeqast low-coding has a scalable pool of low-code developers available for clients to complete the full lifecycle of application development at First Technology and Typeqast. Available services range from building app architecture and design, to implementation and 24/7 maintenance, and from business analysis to low-coding and full-stack custom extensions.
