Work with DBHQ
The same engineering and the same production standard, bought two ways. What differs is who holds the client relationship and who carries the delivery risk.
Principal AssociatePrincipal delivery under your brand
An agreed engineering workstream inside your programme and your governance, in front of your client. Day rate or fixed-scope SOW, with no agency in between and no approach to your client.
See how delivery runsBuy the outcome from DBHQ
One defined piece of cloud, integration, data or AI work taken into production - built new, migrated or rescued - as a fixed-price Production Delivery Sprint, or agreed Delivery Cover days when a lead is away.
Fifteen minutes will tell you if this fits
Bring the problem - the stalled pilot, the systems that do not talk, the manual process eating your team. You will get a straight answer on whether it is sprint-shaped, roughly what it would cost, and when it could be running.
