This method of Outsourcing gives you control over the work, but
save you from the overheads of managing a team working at our location.
This mode is sometime referred to as Time and Material Mode (T & M Mode).
When is Managed Outsourcing Right?
When the requirements of system are clear.
When the change control system is well defined.
You do not have the management resource to manage the team based at our location.
You are only interested in the overall picture at the end of the day and not interested in details of each member of the team.
You want to have design ownership of the project.
You want to decide the priorities at top level, rather than at each person’s level.
The project does not involve a complex and large project team.
You want to keep to a fixed budget and have dedicated resources for your project.
How Managed Outsourcing Works
Sometimes, top level priority on a project is sufficient, without
needing to be involved with the detailed management of the dedicated resources.
At Prakash, we will assign a project manager to your project to manage the
details of the team based upon your set of priorities. You remain the driving
force and in control of the deliverables of the project, but the majority of
your time is still available to continue on other parts of your business. This
is a perfect model for temporarily increasing your team without the additional
overheads of initiation, training, statutory requirements, etc. while still
leaving you with the time to manage your current business as you currently do.
Benefits
Ease of operation, without the fear of
cost overrun
Lower project management overheads
Ease of resource scheduling
Dedicated resources with high levels of productivity
No hiring costs
No statutory compliance is required
Guaranteed availability of resources, including if an
increase in team number is required at short notice
Ensures well documented system and total control over
execution
Round the clock development across different time zones
You will be working with a company that has IT as its primary business, which means that the project can be managed more efficiently and effectively
Overheads
A change control system needs to be in place to manage
project requirements.
As a client, the tracking of resources is important as
it is directly linked with the cost of each project.
The project is the core of the business and this product has to meet complex
business requirements of Fortune 500 clients.
Each client is unique and needs specific customization in data analysis and
reports.
Due to continuous changes in project fixed pricing of the project
is not possible.
The client has an in-house development and QA team which needs to
work in tune with the outsourced team; thus full project management of the
outsourced team is not possible.
The project requires continuous resource availability as the services have to be supported offshore.
To gain more control over development and to reorient team much faster, the client has decided to go with managed outsourcing.
