Managed Offshore Development Center (ODC)
From governed data foundations to production-grade AI systems — engineered for measurable business outcomes.
Establish a governed, scalable engineering extension in Vietnam — under your strategic control.
Scaling engineering capacity internationally requires more than talent — it requires structure, governance, and local operational expertise.
Organizations building offshore teams often face complex legal compliance, high operational overhead, and cultural misalignment between headquarters and remote locations.
The Strategic Reality:
An offshore team succeeds only when it operates as an integrated extension of your organization — not as an external vendor.
Governed Extension, Not Outsourcing
Unitrust builds and operates a Managed ODC under a structured hybrid governance model. You retain strategic and technical leadership, while we manage the operational and regulatory foundation.
| Your Strategic Control | Unitrust Operational Governance |
|---|---|
| Define product roadmap and technical priorities | Talent acquisition and HR management |
| Directly interview and approve team members | Payroll, benefits, and retention programs |
| Establish engineering standards and workflows | Labor law and tax compliance in Vietnam |
| Retain full intellectual property ownership | Infrastructure and facility operations |
ODC Core Components
