    Dedicated Development Centre

    The essence of outsourcing is to have your own team offshore, offering the best knowledge-based practices and providing a high return on investments. Through Softtech, you can set up your own dedicated development facility where you pay a fixed monthly rate/salary for teams or individuals. In such an arrangement the manpower typically works dedicatedly for you, just like one of your existing employees. This facility provides long term gains.

    Fixed Price Model

    The fixed price model is the most commonly sought way of engaging with offshore service providers. It makes the best use of resources and delivers the most beneficial results. In this model the service providers decide the cost of deliverables and customers gain the advantages of fixed time, fixed price, low risk, and the guaranteed, on-time delivery of projects. However, as with most models, it is necessary to have clearly defined requirements and specifications. These will enable accurate delivery timings and costs to be ascertained, and will minimize (if not eliminate) discrepancies.

     

    Time and Material Model

    The Time and Material Model is ideal for Clients who want to be involved in the creation process or who would like to take a vital role in managing projects. This model is also useful when requirements cannot be 'visibly' predefined. e.g. Where the development process is interconnected and the client has a dynamic implementation strategy. It could also be reasonably used when a project plan is based on Stages wherein part of the initial task has to be frozen while advancements of further plans of action are executed. SoftTech also provides Clients with the flexibility to convert a Time and Material Model into a Fixed Price Model, (if and when they would like this).

     

    On-Site Model

    For Corporations that want to gain an offshore advantage while keeping their budgets in control, a SoftTech expert (or expertss) can begin research, attend meetings, collaborate, train, and study the actual business environment, and provide long term end to end partnering. This model is also used by Clients who would like to give directions and provide training themselves.

     

    Hybrid Model

    Greater flexibility and dynamic strategies create the right kind of mix for goal-oriented businesses. SoftTech offers a brilliant blend of variable models, and provides the combination of FPM and T&M, on-site and off-site. This provides the most suitable environment for a Client to work with us as a partner, and to affect the bottom line of his Company's business favourably through co-operative responsibility.
