Off-Shore Development
Off-Shore Development
The WinTech OSDM model includes a well-defined process, keeping in mind remote delivery of solutions, systems, and software. Either the environment of a client’s site is replicated in our offices, or a VPN link is used to log into the client’s computing facilities. In each case, an on-site coordinator acts as a single point for the client.
Our Experience
We have been supporting a few Investment Banking companies through our Off-Shore capabilities for last few years. We have gained experience in custom development, support and back-office operations.
Our Process:
Understanding the requirements:
As is the case in focused software project marketing, our project leaders/coordinators conduct initial meetings with you as a prospect. A series of discussions, presentations, and sometimes even focused studies to better understand your requirements is carried out. The objective of this point is to really understand your requirements.
Proposal:
A detailed proposal is then made with contributions from our senior technical staff, after analyzing and addressing your requirements. The proposal would include an executive summary, the project development plan (covering technical solutions, hardware/software components and a proposed architecture), the implementation and schedules, efforts, and costs. This will give you a clear idea of what to expect for deliverables and the milestones.
Our USP:
Clarity in understanding the requirements and effective project management are the two key areas in a remote development model. Once the project is initiated, key lead technical managers will visit your offices to discuss, understand and capture your requirements. Meanwhile, personnel identified as tentative project team members in offshore development centers will be subjected to relevant training and orientation, if needed. On their return, the team that visited your site will conduct a functional workshop for the rest of the team at offshore development center (ODC) to disseminate the requirements. Architecture definition and prototyping, if necessary, is done. This is followed by design, implementation, and testing phases at ODC. Whether intermittent visits or final visits for integration and system testing at your site makes up the last phase. Each phase involves a series of internal and external reviews. Reviews at critical phases will sometimes involve you either at on-site or offshore locations. Detailed documents are generated at each stage, which helps in subsequent phases and in maintenance and support.
Development Methodologies:
Depending upon client’s needs we may use any one of the development methodologies such as SCRUM, Agile, and Extreme Programming (XP).
Communication:
We utilize the latest technology, such as web meetings and videoconferences, to make sure that the offshore development team is only a call away.
