The difference in working with IRPR vs generic dev shops
Pittsburgh companies lose time and budget with the wrong partner.
Generic dev shops often overpromise and underdeliver. They use junior devs, hourly billing, and lack industry focus. Your Pittsburgh healthcare app might get built by someone who has never heard of HIPAA.
