1. Coherent Solutions
Coherent Solutions is a technology solutions and outsourcing company that creates opportunities and solves problems for
its customers as they tackle the complexities of building commercial grade software. Unlike vanilla, back office IT
applications, the stakes of software in these environments are high--uncompromising quality standards, demanding release
schedules, and little appetite for risk from vendors who can't deliver. Since 1995, we have helped large enterprises,
software vendors, and SMBs save development, testing, and maintenance costs, and bring products and complex
applications to market faster.
Coherent Solutions was founded in 1995 in Minneapolis, MN by Igor Epshteyn who acts as its owner and CEO. In 2003 Igor
established an offshore development center in his native town, Minsk, Belarus and tapped the services of his long-time
friend Alexandre Schneerson to act as its General Manager.
The company's offices in the U.S. and Eastern Europe allow it to provide front-end consulting services in both markets
paired with software development, testing, and maintenance outsourcing services from its development center in Minsk,
Belarus.
Coherent’s model delivers superior results because it uses its industry leading delivery management to create strong
integration between its teams and the client’s organization. Coherent Solutions’ model promotes flexibility in serving its
customers. This approach allows customers to choose the distribution of resources that best fits the needs of their business
and technology environment.

Engagement Models
Coherent Solutions operates under two primary engagement models depending on the goals of the customer and the nature
of the work to be performed.
 The Dedicated Team model is used in those situations where the customer has a steady stream of work it wishes to
outsource and seeks to create a stable sourcing relationship for the work. In this scenario customers benefit from
Coherent’s expertise establishing and managing these globally distributed teams and from Coherent’s integrated
infrastructure and resource management.
Coherent’s dedicated team model is designed to create a framework that ensures successful long-term relationships
with customers. We build the team to the client’s specifications, establish a structure for governance, and provide
ongoing service Delivery Management to ensure the team’s performance is high and in alignment with the
customer’s business priorities.
 The Project engagement model is used in those instances where the customer is looking to outsource a specific
scope of work on a project basis. In this scenario customer’s benefit from Coherent’s ability to deliver high quality
solutions on time and on budget.
Over time customers frequently evolve between these engagement models based on their unique circumstances. At
Coherent Solutions we know how to manage this evolution and transform our service delivery teams based on the
customer’s business needs.
