Verve Systems offers Engagement/Business Models keeping in view
the change scenario and newer challenges faced during IT Outsourcing.
Verve offers multiple and flexible engagement models to meet diverse needs of our
clients globally. Our model allows our clients to overcome any initial inhibitions/
problems of Outsourcing to ensure they get the opportunity to accelerate their
IT outsourcing process. Some of the common concern about using any
offshore development company is language, cultural barriers, time, knowledge transfer,
skill set of resources etc. In cases where these issues have either been completely
neglected or not addressed properly, it has led to greater client dissatisfaction.
Verve with their experience to identify these issues and careful planning to overcome
these, have employed steps to ease out these concerns and ensure a successful, cost-effective
and efficient use of offshore resources.
Verve Systems has a strong focus in Offshore Software Development and Outsourced
IT Solutions with a consistent track record of creating cost effective technology
based initiatives for our esteemed clientele resulting in better process management,
smoother workflows and lower costs of operations and product lifecycle management.
Verve provides the flexibility and transparency to its clients and partners through
its business and engagement models by virtue of offering services through its huge
pool of technical talent and the ability to work in coordination with Client’s process
and expectations. We ensure the clients and partners have the benefit of the Outsourcing
by providing them an engagement model tailored to their needs to fit their cost,
solution to be developed, reporting mechanism, team coordination etc. Our Clients
can choose from one or combination of our Engagement Models for different phases
of their projects.
Fixed-Price Model (predetermined lump-sum project cost)
Fixed Price Model is employed for customers who have well-defined project requirements
and schedules for the solution they want to develop. As per this model, the client
pays an agreed fixed price for the corresponding project scope discussed. These
project costs are in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables/ milestones. Verve
at the onset of the project bidding process defines these deliverables/ milestones
with the cost break-up at each of these deliverables thus enabling the client to
reduce risk by visibly monitoring progress of the project.
Change Management: Verve is committed to complete the development as per the scope
of the work defined and agreed to within the cost provided. However it is our experience
that in such Fixed-Price Projects there may be cases/ functionality/ features which
may have been missed by the client in the specifications. These are taken as part
of the Change Management process. The change request management is a key process
for a Fixed Price projects.
Verve has a structure and well-defined process for managing any changes that may
be required during or after the project duration. All such changes are tracked through
a change request form. This form is provided by Verve to the client to specify the
Change(s) required in the system. Verve after detailed analysis of the changes would
do the cost and effort analysis and intimate the client about the same.
A change would be defined as those, which are not defined in the scope of work either
in terms of addition, deletion and/or change in Functionality (Business Logic),
User Interface, the database and/or any other such aspect of the system. Verve will
charge the work to be done on an hourly basis as defined and agreed by both parties.
Time and Material Model (hourly rate)
A Time and Material is preferred where the scopes are unclear and evolving. Under
this plan an hourly pricing rate is agreed to for a defined skill set of resource(s)
who would be working on the scope. Such model suits for works which involves ad
hoc programming development such and Code Review, Product Research, Product Support,
Complex projects where there is constant specification and design changes. At times
such model is also employed for Project Requirement Analysis to do the requirement
specification to reach to a defined scope and then move to a Fixed Price model for
the specifications done.
The project cost of such a model is a function of the agreed hourly rate of the
resource type and the corresponding efforts of the resource(s) deployed. The model
allows the clients greater flexibility in terms of evolving the project specification
on a continuous basis as per the need of the market. In order to ensure greater
transparency and control for the client in such models we employ a strict project
management practice and periodic reporting mechanism. Task sheets of each resource(s)
deployed on such projects are generated on a daily / weekly basis and sent for review
to the client.
Offshore Dedicated Development Center (full-time resources exclusive
to project)
Dedicated Development Centre is typically an extension of the client’s team at offshore
centers located at different locations in the world. Typically an offshore development
centre may belong to a client or could be maintained by an offshore development
organization which has proven capabilities in the following critical aspects of
an ODC. Dedicated Development Centre at Verve signifies a business model wherein
a software development team with relevant and identified skill sets.
An Offshore Dedicated Development Center provides clients with long-term gains from
offshore outsourcing. A jointly identify teams allows the clients full transparency,
access and control on the team to ensure they can allocate, get status, do changes
at short notices. Dedicated Development Team even though working at an offshore
location of Verve, operates as an extension of Customer’s Development Centre. Dedicated
Teams are better utilized in case of large on-going projects, product development,
product enhancement and support, product re-engineering and maintenance etc.
