DELIVERY MODELS
Offshore/Nearshore delivery
Under this model, all project activities are performed at our offshore/nearshore facilities.
Benefits
- Low cost
- quick ramp-up times
Projects are executed with process-centric templates and metrics.
In some cases, we recommend a limited time onsite presence for key offshore personnel. This serves for faster onboarding, knowledge transfer, and developing trust.
Onsite delivery
Under this model, we place the most-qualified software professionals at the client's location.
Benefits
- personal contact with the team / developing trust
- faster turnaround times for feedback
- no issues with time zone differences
Hybrid delivery model
This model combines both the onsite and offshore scenarios.
The roles that are best suited for working onsite are:
- program/project managers
- architects
- business analysts
- technical leads
- QA lead
- senior developers.
The onsite team interacts with the client team and manages the offshore team.
Benefits
- around the clock delivery
- scalability
- personal contact with the team and developing trust
- minimizing the issues with time zone differences
- faster turnaround times for feedback.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Project Work
The engagement is contracted for a specific application development project based on the customer’s requirements.
We support the projects in all stages:
- Technology research and Selection
- Prototyping
- Development
- Testing
- Deployment and support.
When to choose:
- if you have a specific challenge that is limited in scope and/or time
- as a first engagement proof-of-concept project
- to gauge future metrics and commit to a longer-term business relationship.
Dedicated Team, or Dedicated Offshore Development Center (ODC)
When to choose:
- If your strategic objective is to augment in-house software development with an external partner
- recurring streams of software development work, e.g. software product vendors. It is a strategic commitment to outsourcing.
Within our offices, ODCs operate with a high degree of autonomy from the rest of the company. They have a dedicated physical space, networks, access, security, and follow customer off-shore requirement rules. We take IP protection very seriously. ODCs routinely pass stringent security audits by our customers.
PRICING MODELS
Different pricing models lend themselves to different conditions.
Fixed-price
It works best in development projects where the scope is clearly defined and is unlikely to change.
Time and Materials (T&M)
Fits best for projects with more fluid requirements, where the customer has to respond to changing market conditions.
ODC agreements usually employ some variation of T&M pricing.
