MWDN Ltd is the only offshore software development company that solely dedicated itself to medical software development.

While there are other companies that carry on medical software projects or operates teams that develop medical software for their respective customers, we could not find any other company that has 100% medical software development focus.
We are experienced with clinical and workflow systems, medical imaging and signals, medical standards and frameworks, DICOM, HL7 and proprietary connectivity, CIS, clinical and administrative reporting and all major modalities and equipment. We are experienced with hospital environment; understand challenges of all participants in health care delivery process.
We are experienced to work with FDA and CE regulated environment, systems we developed were cleared by FDA and CE as Class II devices. Our clients typically ISO companies and we interface with their ISO process.
MWDN Ltd is the company that was established by medical systems product managers to let medical software vendors benefit from offshore software development.
 

Most of US high tech companies are software products or software systems vendors.
Most of Indian and Eastern European high tech companies are project companies, that develop software according to specifications for other customers.
Typical software vendor built a lot of internal knowledge about its products and domain. This knowledge should be internalized by developers that works on those products, and cannot be achieved by specifications alone.
That’s why many US software vendors cannot completely utilize the value offshoring can bring them.
MWDN Ltd was designed by people with a lot of experience in US medical software industry and offshore software development altogether. In our R&D center we built mentality similar to this of software vendors. Our understanding of medical software helped us to develop unique approach to internalization of tacit knowledge that is built by you around the product.

Connectivity and interfacing is a great challenge for at least 90% of medical software vendors.

On one hand neither DICOM, nor HL7, X12 and not even IHE provides framework for true plug and play connectivity between medical systems. Thus effective development and management of layer that contains both common and per customer code is necessary (connectivity infrastructure). However, software development process that ensures smooth deployment of product (with versions and service packs) contradicts requirements for extensive connectivity and per hospital interfacing.
As a results customers always demands (and willing to pay for) more interfacing then vendor is willing or even capable to deliver and maintain.
Is this problem familiar to you?
At MWDN we know how to build and manage connectivity infrastructure for your company that will provide ALL interfaces your customers can pay for and can obtain 3^rd party interface specifications.
Our CEO, Eugene Shifrin, headed connectivity department of cardiac imaging and CIS vendor and developed unique model to manage interfaces of large installed customer base.
 

Experience in medical software is only one component in medical software success.
.NET, C# and relational databases are mother tongues for every developer, 40% master C++ and 40% master J2EE in addition to it. We have strong experience with distributed systems, desktop, Web and mobile technologies.
OOP, OOD is a must; every piece of software is architected to ensure its maintainability. We have strong architects and process engineers on board to ensure that all our code is “built to last”.
Most of MWDN Ltd developers are holds Master Degree in Computer Sciences from KHNURE (Kharkov University of Radioelectronics) that is located less then 1 km from our office. KHNURE is mentioned by many Ukrainian politics and industry speaker as the only university in Ukraine that gives true up to date education in computer sciences.
Typically prior to joining MWDN developers already participate in large enterprise projects in other offshore software development companies (e.g. ERP system, Deutche Telecom billing system) or in Ukrainian medical system vendors (Ukrainian ECG carts, XRay systems, CT scanners EEG and signal monitoring equipment is developed in Kharkov).
It gives us ability to develop not only software but medical systems with real-time and mission critical functionality.
But the most important parameter that determined whether developer will be recruited is personality. It is much easier to tech person new development language then changes him as a person.
 

MWDN was established by product managers from US medical software industry. We share your culture (at work, although we play soccer instead of football) and we care to bring success to your product instead of just finishing another outsourcing project.
We believe that we provide more value by provision of end to end services to few medical software vendors rather then building yet another offshore software development factory.
All team leaders and senior developers speaks fluent English and you do not have to spend long hours with messengers and email. In addition to English, Russian is our native language and you most likely had experience working with Russian engineers.
All team leaders and senior team member possess 5 years US multiple entry visa to US and can land in your office next day if the situation demands.
 

Being located in Ukraine allows us to provide top quality software development outsourcing at price of 50% or less then your in house development cost.

Ukraine although allows us be profitable and pay higher then market salaries to attract talented developers while keeping our rates much lower then your in-house costs. And it is simply much cheaper to live here.
As you probably heard of, Eastern European outsourcing provides higher level of expertise and engineering skills and provide higher success rate in software vendor environment, where “code to specs” paradigm will lead nowhere.
 

Software development alone is not sufficient to launch new product development.
Product concept should be defined; competitors and market researched, and all this should be communicated to top management, sometimes at high level.
And almost always bright people that can do the job of launching new product are busy with their current tasks.
MWDN Ltd has proven product management capacity, products initiated and defined by us are now part of major US medical systems product lines.
 

You pay for labor and get expertise for free.

There are two types of outsourcing companies: those who charge for labor and those who charge for experience.
While we provide experience level similar to specialized US medical software development companies, we charge competitive offshore software development price which is based on labor cost. And we provide experience that is hard to find even in US.
 

If you managed software developers, you surely know that every developer likes to write new applications. This is wonderful. The other side of the coin is that no developer likes polishing his code, reiterating numerous scenarios of user behavior. Our customers, successful product companies with good R&D, honestly admit that we supply better software that require less attention then what they develop in house.
 

Every company typically starts offshoring because of price. Price is very important factor, as software vendor buys software development from in-house or external developers for many thousands of dollars every day. Having lower software development cost can allow developing more products, more functionality, developing products of better quality by taking more time to polish them and or simply spend less on software development (least frequently used option).
We believe that after you pilot your first project with us, quality of service and convenience will become your most important reason to stay with us.
 

It sounds counterintuitive, but when working with MWDN intellectual property risks are lower then when hiring developer in-house.
