EC Group International

What EC Group International does

EC Group International is a privately held, US-headquartered (Comstock Park, Michigan) offshore software development services firm that has operated since 1999 through a wholly-owned Indian delivery subsidiary (EC Group Datasoft Pvt. Ltd., Chennai). The company provides dedicated, long-tenure software development teams to US clients under a proprietary engagement model branded as the HOST Model (Hosted Offshore Software Talent), in which EC Group hires, equips, and hosts developers at its Chennai facility working exclusively for a single client. Services span staff augmentation, custom web application development, and legacy software modernization (including COBOL and WinForms/.NET migration), and are supported by an internal delivery accelerator called SystemOne, a .NET Core / Vue.js full-stack platform with built-in API integrations, multi-tenancy, automated jobs, and admin portal functionality.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through ongoing dedicated-resource contracts rather than project-based or productized pricing, and rates are custom-quoted per engagement with no public pricing tiers disclosed. The company targets US companies seeking offshore development capacity, with a stated concentration on long-term retention (a claimed 95% developer retention rate) and operational practices such as a five-day work week, US-time-zone overlap, and continuous training designed to differentiate from typical project-based outsourcing. Customers span roughly a dozen named logos across fintech, payroll, faith-based, healthcare, agriculture, and consulting verticals, with several engagements exceeding 10 years in duration.

The company is family-controlled (founder Tom Sudyk; CEO Mike Sudyk since 2012), has received no disclosed external institutional funding, and operates a compact leadership team of five named executives covering CEO, COO, SVP Technology, EVP HR, and VP US Operations. The firm has accumulated employer-brand recognition including Great Place to Work 2025 and multiple Asia-region HR awards, positioning its retention narrative as a core commercial differentiator.
