This model helps our
customers to utilize our skilled and cost
effective manpower to develop customized
solutions to cater to their specific requirement.
Depending on the kind of project the Model
could utilize Time and Material or a Fixed
Cost for the Project. In order to ensure
consistency in the requirements and developed
application, we have project managers deputed
at client site to coordinate and act
as a single point of
contact with the client and the development
team in India. The development approach
used in this regard is slightly different
from the Fixed Cost Development Model.
Our Offshore Development model maximizes the advantages
accrued to our clients through reduced development
cost.
What is Offshore Development Model?
The Offshore Development
Model utilizes our seasoned project
managers located at the client site
who possess the necessary expertise
to manage, coordinate and communicate
with our offshore development teams
located in India. Our clients benefit
from the added expertise that XQT
can provide from a reliable and credible
source and benefit from significantly
reduced development costs.

What is our Methodology?
At XQT we strongly
believe in structured approach, which
is the secret of our success in executing
the projects. We have well defined
time-tested process, which ensures
high degree of control at every phase
of the project and a high degree of
satisfaction.
Our methodology is
based on the following phases of implementation:
Presale
Requirement Gathering
During
this phase we come to
understand your basic
requirements and needs.
We make an assessment
of our core competence
to partner with you, in
order to meet your needs.
During this phase we review
your goals, objectives,
strategies and project-specific
needs, and analyze the
services that best suit
your requirements.
Prepare
Service Level Agreement
After
the initial analysis that
determines our ability
to serve your needs, we
prepare a Service Level
Agreement with your inputs
and tailored to suit your
needs. Once the Service
Level Agreement is accepted,
the actual project begins.
Resource
Planning & Assignment
Upon acceptance of the
Service Level Agreement
we begin Resource Planning.
In order to ensure that
the offshore development
facility is transparent
to you, we deploy an onsite
project manager and a
development team in India
managed by Project Leader.
During the entire duration
of the project our onsite
project manager will be
your single point of contact.
Depending on the demands
of the project and time
lines, the project team
size is scaled accordingly.
If you choose to further
reduce your cost, we also
offer our services wherein
you can directly interact
with our project managers
in India.
Requirement
Analysis
During
the first phase of Development
activity, our onsite project
manager will review your
requirements and create
a Requirements & Specifications
document. These requirements
and specifications will
provide the formal input
to our offshore development
team. If the project is
very large and complex,
we can bring our offshore
development project leader
onsite to more rapidly
facilitate understanding
of all requirements and
specifications.
System
Design
All of our project
managers are highly experienced
and technically savvy
with hands-on experience.
Our Project Manager gets
involved in system design
and works closely with
you and the development
team to ensure that all
requirements are accurately
expedited during the design
phase.
Development
During this phase
our project manager works
very closely with our
development team in India
to ensure tight adherence
to design specifications.
The onsite project manager
will maintain a system
control versions of the
system for your periodic
review, document your
feedback & communicate
your comments back to
our offshore development
team.
System
Integration Testing
Upon completion of
Development, the system
will be tested based
on the test plans created
during the design and
development phase. Our
onsite project manager
will work in close co-ordination
with you to ensure that
all inputs are incorporated
in the test plan.
Implementation
Upon completion of
the Development and
Testing, our onsite
project manager will
ensure the system is
implemented in a production
environment and tested
again. If the system
is large and complex
requiring additional
resources during the
Implementation phase,
we either will bring
the Offshore Development
team onsite or utilize
local resources.
Support
Upon successful implementation
of the system in the
production environment
to lower maintain cost,
we recommend retaining
a small support team
from our offshore development
facility to continue
and support the system.
