Offshore Delivery Center

MDT InfoTech’s priority is to establish long-term, win-win relationships with our clients. When a client initiates ongoing projects on the regular basis, adopting our Offshore Delivery Center (ODC) model is the most efficient way to save project costs without losing quality of deliverables. The mutual benefits of this practice are proved by time, which include:

• Knowledge accumulation and skills building
• Lower risk and resource efficiency based on the engagement history and previous experience
• Lower costs corresponding to lower risk
• Preserving the core team motivated and attracted by increasing technical sophistication of the projects
• Establishing knowledge management, trainings and coaching procedures targeting team-specific needs
• Increased management capabilities

From the very beginning, a delivery center remains truly dedicated in terms of resource allocation, equipments, and even infrastructure. We keep dedicated teams separated from each other as the follows:

• When required by clients, each single dedicated team member, including dev lead, test lead, and project manager, works exclusively for this team 100% of their time
• Teams are given their separate email alias, network domains, including document storages, project servers, issue tracking tools, etc
• If required, a dedicated team’s LAN segment may be separated from the corporate LAN
• Tailored personal NDAs are signed with each individual in a dedicated team

Engagement in ODC model typically passes through a set of stages during its lifetime:

1. Initial phase
The engagement starts with a pilot project testing MDT InfoTech’s capabilities and building confidence in its ability to deliver on time, with requested quality, and according to the scope specification. At the same time, extensive knowledge transfer and building initial relationships between the two organizations are performed.

2. On-going engagement
After successful completion of a few projects during the initial phase, the core of the dedicated team on MDT side gets sufficient knowledge in the specific technical and business areas, and builds sufficient confidence in its capabilities on the client’s side. It is time to move to the next stage and improve the communication and other joint processes, start sharing repositories, tools, and procedures. The scope of a typical project switches from a small standalone component tool to joint work on the product with the client’s team or complete outsourcing of a specific product lifecycle phase, such as testing, defect resolution, detailed design and coding.

3. Continuous Improvement
This phase is characterized with moving the focus from technical aspects to business goals. MDT team is tightly integrated into client-side processes and infrastructure, the domain expertise reaches the level of the one inside the client’s organization. The client and MDT perform joint management of the projects pipeline for the MDT team, adjusting it to meet immediate business goals, and seeking the ways to optimize the process. MDT team becomes an extended offshore delivering team of the client.

Fixed Pricing Model

Our fixed time, fixed price model offers customers a low-risk option and can be employed when the scope and specifications of the project is reasonably clear. This model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects. Deliverables, costs and timelines are clearly defined in the fixed time, fixed-price engagements.

Time and Material Model

When scope, specification and implementation plans of an outsourcing project are not easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model becomes an attractive option. Under this model, you pay as per use of the hourly resources. Under this mode we define the business model and work hand in hand with our client for execution of end-to-end project. At times once the scope is frozen the time and material project also gets converted to the fixed price model.
