Why teams switch

Why teams move from Encora to Luby

  • A squad sized to the roadmap

    Not every program needs a global delivery organization. Teams move to Luby for a senior squad drawn from a pool of 220+ engineers and product specialists.

  • Rates you can model before the first call

    Luby publishes indicative rate ranges by role, so finance can size a squad before procurement starts.

  • Engineers in as little as 7 days

    When the roadmap is waiting, staffing time is lost time. Individual Luby engineers can start in as little as 7 days, and a full squad builds by week 4.

Honest take

When Encora is the right fit

If you need delivery across several countries, or the scale of a global group like Coforge, Encora fits. For a senior Brazilian squad with published rate ranges and ISO/IEC 27701, Luby is the better fit.
