How they work

Dirox follows a four-phase engagement model: business diagnostic (identify needs and digital transformation potential); discovery phase (gather requirements, functional analysis); project execution (team creation, sprints, delivery); and project launch with ongoing support (maintenance, security, updates, consulting). The company emphasizes agile methodology with transparent communication. Post-launch support includes bug fixes, performance improvements, security updates, and feature enhancements, with plans ranging from basic maintenance to dedicated ongoing support with reporting and monitoring.

The source does not specify total team size, nor does it mention ISO certifications, SOC 2 compliance, or third-party awards beyond the self-reported 97% client satisfaction rate. The company confirms 20 years of operating history (since 2003). Dirox states that it donates 1% of revenue to Alliance Anti-Traffic and Mekong Plus NGOs.
