<h3 class="" data-start="801" data-end="843">It Started With One Exceptional Person</h3> <p class="" data-start="845" data-end="1075">Several years ago, we were introduced to an incredible developer based in Vietnam.</p> <p class="" data-start="845" data-end="1075">From the moment we started working together, it was clear: his skills, mindset, and commitment to quality were exactly what we look for at Dcode.</p> <p class="" data-start="1077" data-end="1246">Rather than seeing this as a one-off remote relationship, we made a decision: <strong data-start="1155" data-end="1182">build a team around him</strong>, the same way we would if he were based in Perth, Sydney or Melbourne.</p> <p class="" data-start="1248" data-end="1374">We didn't outsource work.</p> <p class="" data-start="1248" data-end="1374">We built a Dcode office - our own space, our own people, all aligned to our culture and standards.</p> <p class="" data-start="1376" data-end="1514">Today, our Vietnam team is an integral part of who we are, working alongside our Australian team to deliver real outcomes for our clients.</p> <h3 class="" data-start="1516" data-end="1545"><img src="https://cdn.dcodegroup.com/blog-images/68115fcff3f12.jpg" alt="" width="2700" height="2025" /></h3> <h3 class="" data-start="1516" data-end="1545">Why Global Talent Matters</h3> <p class="" data-start="1547" data-end="1678">In a world shaped by shifting trade dynamics, tariffs, and evolving supply chains, it's more important than ever to think globally.</p> <p class="" data-start="1680" data-end="1903">When companies like Apple talk about their global operations, they make it clear:<br data-start="1761" data-end="1764" /><strong data-start="1764" data-end="1903">It's not about finding the cheapest labour - it's about finding the best people, with the best skills, to deliver world-class outcomes.</strong></p> <p class="" data-start="1905" data-end="1933">That's exactly our approach.</p> <p class="" data-start="1935" data-end="2089">We're not chasing lower costs.<br data-start="1965" data-end="1968" />We're chasing <strong data-start="1982" data-end="1996">excellence</strong> - finding the best people, building strong teams, and supporting them to do their best work.</p> <h3 class="" data-start="2091" data-end="2122">Bringing the Teams Together</h3> <p class="" data-start="2124" data-end="2305">Although our Vietnam office has been operating for a few years now, this year marked a special milestone:<br data-start="2229" data-end="2232" /><strong data-start="2232" data-end="2305">We brought some of our Australian team to Vietnam for the first time.</strong></p> <p class="" data-start="2307" data-end="2548">It was an incredible week - full of collaboration, strategy sessions, team-building activities, and shared meals.<br data-start="2420" data-end="2423" />It wasn&rsquo;t just about improving communication. It was about building real relationships that transcend time zones and borders.</p> <p class="" data-start="2307" data-end="2548"><img src="https://cdn.dcodegroup.com/blog-images/68115fec2ecfe.jpg" alt="" width="2700" height="1800" /></p> <p class="" data-start="2550" data-end="2663">When talented people are connected by shared values and vision, amazing things happen - no matter where they are.</p> <h3 class="" data-start="2665" data-end="2680">What's Next</h3> <p class="" data-start="2682" data-end="2814">Expanding internationally was never our "plan." But when you find the right people, you build the right opportunities around them.</p> <p class="" data-start="2816" data-end="2988">At Dcode Group, our goal isn't just to deliver software - it&rsquo;s to deliver business outcomes by building the best teams possible.<br data-start="2944" data-end="2947" />And sometimes, the best teams are global.</p>
