Integrated Innovation Hub: The affordable solution for scaling your digital delivery
Achieve scalability and cost savings with our Manila team, while maintaining the trusted quality and local oversight you expect from Assurity.
The shortage of skilled, quality engineering talent in New Zealand creates a significant bottleneck, slowing project timelines and hindering innovation. This forces a choice between high local costs and the quality risks of traditional offshoring.

FAQs
Our Manila hub in the Philippines is a strategic extension of our New Zealand team. It is staffed solely by full-time Assurity employees and is designed to deliver our high-quality QA and testing services through a cost-effective and flexible model.
The Hub offers two primary benefits: strategic cost savings and flexible scalability. By accessing a pool of qualified Assurity professionals, you can efficiently adjust your team based on project needs, all while sidestepping the high costs and lengthy process associated with hiring permanent local staff.
Quality is our top priority. Every member of our Manila team is a full-time employee of Assurity and has undergone the same rigorous recruitment and training standards as our staff in Aotearoa, New Zealand. We function as a single, integrated team with a consistent standard of excellence.
Our model offers the best of both worlds. You will work closely with our local New Zealand team for strategic direction and oversight, while our professionals based in Manila will seamlessly integrate into the same delivery team to manage the execution of your project.
Our offices in Manila are secure facilities accessible only through biometric fingerprint entry. All employees undergo thorough security checks to ensure that your data and intellectual property are always protected.
