Business Models
Dedicated Development
Centre Model
Build an offshore facility for the
customer, Operate the offshore
facility & customize it as per
customer's needs & when
model reaches maturity,
Transfer the complete
ownership of the facility &
resources to the Client.
Extension of the customer's
software engineering facility.
The customer pays fixed
monthly rate for the Team.
Hybrid Model
A major portion of project is on
a Fixed Price basis and at the
same time resources are
deployed on Time and Material
basis. Adopting such a model
enables the client to maximize
their ROI without
compromising any aspect of
the project itself.
Build-Operate Transfer Model
Fixed Price Model
The customer pays a Pre-
negotiated Fixed price for the
complete project, which in
turn is linked to well-defined
deliverables.
Time & Material Model
Define the business model and
work hand in hand with our
client. The client pays a fixed

Cultural Gaps
Risk:
• Corporate culture clash to the difficulties in managing an partner across large
distances and different time zones.
• Throw in regulatory concerns and proprietary information and relationship
management becomes even more difficult.
Mitigation:

Risk:
• Managing expectations and maintaining relationship is essential for the
success.
• Partnership projects do not meet expectations because
• I) Project, plan & Execution without a clear methodology.
• ii) Disconnect between expectations at management level and what’s actually
delivered at the processes level.
Mitigation:
• By making sure the parties share a common understanding regarding critical
interactions at the Operational & Management Level for successful
Partnering
Team Relationship Management

lead to broken connectivity .

Implied Cost savings
Risk
• Estimate most firm save 30-35% during first year; by third year, cost savings
often reaches 40-45% as companies “go up learning curve “ from partnering
process.
• Outsourcing solely control cost can lead alignment issue and increased
project delay.
Mitigation
• Corporation should provide strategy to its business lines of business to allow
them to partner within guidelines.
• Brings in the strategic differential advantage of improved markets share by new
products to your business, thereby, enhancing your profitability
• Once firm understand its integrating drivers, selecting which application to
partner becomes straight forward.

top concerns companies face when integrating project to another company.
Mitigation:
The key to successful and secure collaboration agreement is understanding
i) Regulatory compliance followed by schedule third party Audits
