A Roadmap for Success

Our offshore development methodology identifies has built-in risk management practices. We have developed lay, yet are flexible enough to take the unique needs of every project into account and honed a tight operational framework that takes each success factor into picture.

	Communication - the hub of the governance process
	Overcoming the differences in time and geography is one of the critical issues in offshore development. Establishing a clear communication channel integral part of our process. We establish a series of regularly scheduled conference calls to discuss open issues & review status reports which also serve as effective means for sharing ideas with you. We ensure a high degree of visibility and total process transparency. For transnational projects with multiple stakeholders, we provide dedicated web-based collaboration channels which enables rapid circulation of documents, recommendation solicitations, doubts reporting, auto-E-mail generation and distribution and posting of prototypes. We make optimized use of the following tools to ensure synchronized work efforts in a distributed environment:

	Project management and planning tools
	Change control and tracking tools
	Document sharing tools
	Defect tracking tools
	Configuration management toolsa

	Stakeholder Involvement
	We actively foster client involvement at every stage of the project. It aids for optimal translation of business goals into technical solutions with the right design and architecture. We maintain a conducive environment that facilitates interaction, support, and teamwork between the project's engineering groups, the project facilitators and the clients and end users. A high level of coordination is maintained at all the stages of the project, from design and development to implementation and training. This streamlined process helps our clients experience a world-class level of technical excellence.

	Management Support

	Involvement of key executives at both sides is crucial to good offshore development. Management support paves way for on time availability of all resources in terms of business process knowledge, technical expertise and experience. Our development model explicitly encourages this at the very initial stages and sustains it during entire project duration. This is further supported by our organizational culture, where senior management is in constant touch with project leaders and project managers.

	Clearly understood expectations

	Clearly specified and verified requirements and priorities are the foundation of a good project. We ensure this through our rigorous requirements process, workshops for formal user interaction and prototypes. Regular meetings validate ongoing development in at various stages to ensure that solutions conform to user requirements.

	A structured development and execution plan

	A well-defined project management and execution plan is the key to manage scope and to prevent cost overruns. The project plan focuses on providing optimal staffing and adequate skilled resources, base lining of specifications, as well as defining and tracking of attainable milestones. Mutually defined performance metrics are rigidly adhered to.

	Dedicated offshore development centers

	We provide dedicated centers to each of our clients, ensuring that a pool of resources is continually available trained in your domain and business processes.
