Domestic software development outsourcing is commonplace, but things get more complicated when some or all of the action is outsourced abroad. This is a fairly common assumption on the subject. Preconceptions or real horror stories of failed overseas ventures are unfortunate. Software Sauna was initially set up precisely to correct this flaw in the market….
After a full month of 2023, it’s the final time for the annual wrap-up. We all probably thought that everything would return to normal after a couple of “corona years,” but unfortunately, 2022 brought some new dark clouds to the skies of the global economy and a time of peace in Europe. A war in…

The year 2020 has definitely been something different. Many would already like to skip the whole year. Unfortunately it will be mainly remembered negatively due to the Coronavirus outbreak and Covid-19 pandemia. Besides the spreading virus and lockdown, we in Zagreb also experienced the strongest earthquake in 140 years on March 22nd. A wakeup call I will never forget and don’t want…
Spring and especially the beginning of April is a very special time for Software Sauna as our business operations started on April 2nd, 2018.
