In today's competitive marketplace, staffing a software development group with the right set of skills and experience is a major challenge. Hundreds of thousands of IT vacancies currently exist in the United States, and in many cases, these positions require individuals with scientific or engineering backgrounds. As a result, companies face considerable obstacles in bringing their products to market when time is a critical competitive factor in a product’s success or failure.
GGA offers a cost-effective way for your company to leverage additional resources for both product and application development, thereby enhancing the abilities of your company’s software and technical staff. In addition, GGA has the skills and experience to take on complex technology development projects, offering an alternative to costly internal technology development efforts.
GGA combines a team of seasoned project leaders and technical specialists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a staff of more than 400 software engineers, mathematicians, and scientists at our development facility in St. Petersburg, Russia. This operational structure offers our customers the best of both worlds: the convenience and confidence of working with an experienced U.S. company to develop project specifications, oversee project execution, and carry out key programming and engineering tasks; and the increased flexibility, responsiveness, and cost-competitiveness afforded by GGA’s St. Petersburg facility.
Since our inception in 1994, our scientists, mathematicians, and software engineers have been developing cheminformatics and bioinformatics tools for use internally. In 2009, we decided to make these tools available to the scientific community as [open-source applications](/opensource). The reception to these tools has been enthusiastic, and we have established a core team to continue development of these open-source applications.
