Offshore projects are executed at Espire's SEI CMMI Level 5-assessed and ISO 27001:2005 & ISO 9001:2008-certified offshore development centre at New Delhi, India.
In the offshore delivery model, the entire gamut of activities - from the initial systems study/ requirements gathering to design, development and testing is done from Espire's ODC. Espire recommends this model where:
- The project objectives & goals are well-defined
- Deviation from the defined & set goals & objectives is not likely
In the onsite delivery model, Espire's skilled and experienced engineers, project architects and business & system analysts are deployed at client's site. Espire recommends this model where:
- The client is hesitant to offshore
- Post deployment/ implementation support is essential
- Specific resources are needed
In the off-site delivery model, projects are executed by Espire's team at Espire's own development facilities in the client's respective city/country. Espire's global foot print of offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo and Jersey City facilitates off-site delivery.
The hybrid model is a combination of both onsite and offshore. This model is the most often practiced model and offers optimised cost as well as efficiency. In this model, Espire ensures that all critical activities, such as requirements gathering & system study take place onsite while all labour intensive activities like coding, development and testing takes place from offshore. Espire's Knowledge Transfer & Management methodology ensures a robust and watertight knowledge transfer between the onsite and offshore teams making this model highly scalable and cost & operationally beneficial.
Advantages of Hybrid Delivery Model
- Direct team dealing with the client: No possibility of communication gap exists as the onsite team is under the client's supervision and project management
- 24/7 productivity: This model enables a true "follow-the-Sun" delivery
- Access to the best resources: The ODC provides access to the best technologies and skilled manpower
- Great cost benefits: Comparatively economical resources available at the ODC result in significant cost savings
- Best possible management of resources: Efficiency of resources is highest with this model.
Espire's 80:20 delivery model is a hybrid delivery model where the ratio of offshore and onsite resources across the lifecycle of the project is 80:20. This model ensures that the critical activities take place under the client's direct supervision & project management and there is no gap between the onsite team's understanding of the client's requirements and the client's expectations. This also ensures that the client receives a significant cost benefit because all high bandwidth-consuming activities take place from Espire's CMMI Level 5-assessed and ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 27001:2005-certified ODC at New Delhi.
