IT Partner Software Delivery Models: The One Thing IT Clients Forget to Check!
When a business engages a technology partner for software development, it is always important to research the experience and skills, to understand the partner’s quality processes and methodologies, to be sure that the agreement includes detailed service levels agreements (SLAs), and to check references but there is one other thing that many businesses forget to check and that is the specifics of delivery models and options.
Choose Carefully! IT Staff Augmentation & Offshore Software Development is Key!
With the pace of technology change and the demands of consumers and business users, the average IT department in an enterprise is often challenged to deliver the wide range of services required by the company. From infrastructure management to software development, data integration initiatives, reporting, and upgrades, IT is always too busy and too short staffed.
Offshore, Onsite or Hybrid Delivery Models Ensure Quality Software Services!
One of the many considerations of engaging expert IT consulting services is your comfort level with how the services are delivered. Some businesses are perfectly fine with offshore outsourcing and some are not. Some are OK with a percentage of offshore work but would like to have the expert team more integrated into their own team in order to achieve their goals.
When you engage an offshore service provider, you must predict measurable results and achievements in order to justify the cost of acquiring the service. Ideally, the value of the service should exceed, or at the very least, be equal to, the monetary investment. If the value of a service or product is particularly unique, the organization may be willing to pay more for that service or product. This document includes some recommended value factors for your consideration. We have also included two approaches to analyze vendor value. One is a ‘risk’ assessment and the other is a ‘weighted value’ assessment. You may use one of these two methodologies to calculate the value of a vendor service offering versus the quoted cost or fee.
