The model

The model
Hub‑as‑a‑Service is Allies’ model for building dedicated engineering capability around scarce skills, without forcing enterprises to carry the full operational and delivery risk upfront.
From rented competence to owned capability.
From rented competence to owned capability.
From rented competence to owned capability.
It is not outsourcing.
It is not nearshoring.
It is a path from external
build to internal ownership.

Why this model exists
Enterprises struggle to scale critical digital capability because:
The most valuable skills are niche and scarce, spread across Europe
Building new competence centres carries high early‑stage risk
Traditional vendors optimise for reuse and dependency, not ownership
Hub‑as‑a‑Service addresses all three in one model.

What a Hub is
A Hub is a dedicated competence centre, built exclusively for one enterprise.
Each hub is defined by:
Hard‑to‑find, high‑value skills
Deep product and domain context
Ways of working aligned with your organisation
AI‑enabled practices that increase productivity over time
No shared teams.No rotation across clients.No generic delivery.

How it works
Design
We define the exact capability you need and how it fits into your organisation.
Build
We hire, set up operations, and carry the early delivery and operational risk.
Operate
The hub runs as an extension of your organisation as teams stabilise and capability deepens.
Over time, the hub becomes functionally indistinguishable from an internal unit.

De‑risked by design
You can scale up or down as needed.
We absorb the uncertainty.
You internalise the hub only once it is proven and stable.

Ownership is the end state
Hub‑as‑a‑Service is not a permanent vendor model.
When ready, you can fully or partially insource the hub — including people, knowledge, ways of working, and AI productivity gains.
What doesn’t transfer: vendor dependency.
