Significant investments in the SAP Software Reseller Program |
|
|
| Engagement model |
| Delivery Models: |
| Influx offers various models for the engagement with the customers for project execution. The Business scenario with every customer is unique. The customer can derive benefits with our flexible offerings by leveraging on our technical resource pools and also avoid hassles/delays caused due to involvement of Human resource allocation staff. |
|
| Onsite Model |
| In the onsite model, we depute our professionals at client site(s), affording an opportunity of working out of their 'natural habitat', as it were. This model makes eminent sense for the client, with close and frequent customer interaction, and a first-hand feel for the situation. |
|
| Offshore Model |
| In this instance, we carry out the actual development services at our facilities in Kolkata, India.
Deliverables are possible through digital communication links, the Internet or media of client choice. |
|
| Hybrid Model |
| In certain situations where the projects complex and mission critical applications are to be delivered with
the most stringent deadlines, this model is highly recommended. Depending on parameters such as
volume, complexities and involvement of the customer, the combination of on-site and off-shore
resources are defined. This model ensures constant interaction of the on-site team with the client thus
reducing the problems arising due to communication gap. There is also a substantial cost reduction due
to a large Offshore Component> |
|
| Business Models: |
| Time and Material |
| Our clients can utilize the services of our highly-qualified resources on time and material assignments for
consulting. We offer time and material services for both onsite as well as offshore assignments. In such
engagements, the client has complete flexibility in working with our Associates and engaging them in
tasks that match their expertise |
|
| Fixed Bid |
| Tailor-made to the requirements of our clients, our 'fixed bid' project model provides the framework for a
win-win scenario, in which the client is assured of quality deliverables within budget, on schedule. At the
same time, we are assured of rewards for successful and on-time delivery of the assigned task.
Influx engages with customers to bring optimal benefit of outsourcing. There are two primary
modes of engagement: |
|
| Extended Team Model |
| Project Outsourcing Model |
| Irrespective of the model, our endeavour is to add value to our customers and work as a partner and not
as a vendor. Our engagement with our customers is based on the following philosophy: |
|
| 1 |
Highly Talented Teams - Hire and Retain the best talent. |
|
|
| 2 |
Deliver Early and Often - Iterative Development: build concretely working applications every
iteration (2-4 weeks) and get constant feedback from the customer. |
|
|
| 3 |
Communication and Collaboration - Provide clear visibility into the project status. Maintain
effective flow of information with the entire team 'onshore' and 'offshore'. |
|
|
| 4 |
Focus on Quality - Rigorous Quality Assurance and Control, provide metrics for enabling
customers to make effective decisions. |
|
|
| 5 |
Responsiveness to Change - We absorb changes in our process, and understand the importance
of changes for our customers to be effective in their business. |
|
|
| Extended Team Model |
|
| Extended Team model helps you to create an extension of your own development team. The team at
Influx works in a very close partnership in either a co-development or completely outsourced
model with you |
|
|
|
| |
This model is ideal for companies where there is: |
| |
|
|
Simultaneous, Multiple or Long-term Product Development and Maintenance efforts. |
|
|
| |
|
|
Testing products over multiple versions and releases |
|
|
| |
|
|
Need to extend the current team for supporting large custom application development and
maintenance projects.
With the extended model, there is a huge advantage of resource flexibility. Special resources such as
Setup Developers, User Interface designers, Test Automation experts etc are required during specific>
stages of a project. These resources can be added on request to the extended team. Further, software
engineers can be added to the team during crunch release periods. |
