Why Companies Switch from ScienceSoft to Cloudrix
Western EU Entity, Western EU Values
ScienceSoft's delivery relies heavily on Belarus and Poland-based teams. Cloudrix is a Netherlands-based company with EU-based engineers. For Western EU companies, this means better cultural alignment and simpler compliance.
Transparent Team Selection
ScienceSoft assigns team members to your project. Cloudrix lets you interview and approve every engineer. You know exactly who's building your software and can ensure they're the right fit.
Deep Integration Over Project Handoffs
ScienceSoft focuses on project-based delivery with milestone handoffs. Cloudrix engineers integrate into your team for continuous collaboration. Integrated teams produce better, more maintainable software.
Modern AI Expertise
ScienceSoft offers data analytics and traditional ML. Cloudrix brings production-grade GenAI experience — RAG systems, LLM integration, AI agents. If you're building with modern AI, you need engineers who've shipped it.
Frequently Asked Questions
ScienceSoft has 700+ employees and 35 years of experience. Why Cloudrix?
Longevity and size don't guarantee quality on your specific project. Cloudrix's boutique model means senior engineers fully dedicated to your work, not spread across dozens of projects. You get focus and expertise, not breadth.
Is ScienceSoft's project-based model better?
For well-defined, fixed-scope projects with clear deliverables, project-based can work. But most software development is iterative. Cloudrix's dedicated team model handles changing requirements, continuous improvement, and long-term maintenance better than milestone-based delivery.
What about ScienceSoft's industry expertise?
ScienceSoft covers healthcare, retail, banking, and more. Cloudrix brings deep horizontal expertise (cloud, AI, DevOps) that applies across industries. We pair our engineering excellence with your domain knowledge for the best results.
