Innovative offshore development approach

Java R&D Labs Delivery Model enables its customers to leverage varied locations across the globe that provide optimized value for every component of delivery. Whether it is procuring the best skills, covering 24x7 service spread, lower cost of ownership or leveraging domain expertise, the Java R&D Labs Delivery Model ensures that each of these objectives are met. The model is customized for every project and objective such as project cost, criticality and level of expertise are determined in advance. Based on this, we evaluate client location (On-site), Java R&D Labs development center in Falls Church, VA  (Off-site) and Java R&D Labs development center in India (Offshore) to determine which location would provide the best value in terms of cost, skills availability, service coverage, efficiency and quality of deliverables and move the delivery to a location that provides the best fit.

 

The onsite team interacts daily with the customer to define requirements, review prototypes and manage scope changes. The offshore team ensures quality execution at a low cost, as well as access to our technology competency centers. Onsite and offshore teJava R&D Labs collaborate on common systems, linked by our global network.

This model is distinct from other companies which use "offshore factories" with very little coupling with the client because specifications are "thrown over the wall." Our tightly coupled model allows Java R&D Labs team members to intensely participate with the client during the working day and then have a prototype built overnight, since the working day in India is nighttime in the West. This 24x7 iterative process is well suited to new technologies and has been adapted to e-business needs.

Software Development Models

Fixed-Price 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 are 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 model. In fixed time, fixed-price engagements.

Java R&D Labs follows a phased approach that includes scoping, development, implementation and business support. Combining the fixed time, fixed price model with our solutions center, we can offer customers a tremendous advantage on the cost front.

This model works best for - Customers with well-defined requirements and project schedules. Under this option, the customer pays a pre-negotiated fixed price for the complete project, which in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables. For any change in scope a predefined fixed hourly rate agreed at the initial stage of start of project is paid. For any changes there is a standard change request procedure that is followed for which we have structured processes in place.

Time and Material Model
When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development 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 development efforts. 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. We have very strict project management and reporting practices whereby task sheets are generated on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project.

In this business model, Java R&D Labs forms project teJava R&D Labs with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on project requirements. Customers pay a monthly charge based on the size and composition of the team. This model offers the flexibility to balance team size and project workloads. Most of our onsite services (unless it is part of a fixed time, fixed price project) are delivered using this business model. Java R&D Labs could bid for partial phases of a project on a fixed time, fixed price basis and the remaining parts on a time and material basis. In such engagements, the Client has complete flexibility in using our associates in tasks that match their area of expertise.

Java R&D Labs provides knowledgeable, skilled, motivated, energetic and competent consultants who work seamlessly as part of client teJava R&D Labs to provide quality solutions. Our consultants are handpicked after assessing their technical, communication and interpersonal skills. We keep our consultants on the cutting edge of information technology by providing them with ongoing advanced training and skill-building workshops.

Hybrid Model
Very often it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed Price basis and at the same time deploy resources on a Time and Materials Pricing basis. We call this the hybrid model. Adopting such a model enables the client to maximize their budgets without compromising any aspect of the project itself.

Needless to mention here that this model too can be Onsite, Offsite, Offshore or any combination of the same.

This model is used when client wishes to work on fixed price model and when the project scope is not detailed enough to enable us to estimate the effort with accuracy. Based on the initial concept note we define a short initial.

Dedicated Development Center Model
A dedicated development center, which is an extension of the customer's software engineering facility, is popular among customers, who are looking at long-term gains from offshore outsourcing.

In this model Java R&D Labs reserves resources, equipment and infrastructure, exclusively for the customer. While such a model is normally for a pre-determined minimal period of time, it allows the client to leverage the talent pool of Java R&D Labs, the cost effectiveness of such an offering and superiority of our Project Management.

We jointly identify and define the team along with our customer and have full transparency, access and control on the team along with our customer whereby the dedicated team works as extension of the customers' development team. We have successfully implemented this concept for more than 70 software product companies across the globe thereby enabling them to obtain a sustainable advantage over their competition and providing them possibilities of supernormal savings in their development costs.

We partner with our clients to invest in replicating their IT environments, training our teJava R&D Labs, setting up communication & security systems and integrating our development processes with theirs to ensure that the offshore team is an efficient and seamless extension of the client's development facilities. We also invest in creating a pool of additional resources that can be used to augment the team at any time. In addition this system optimizes employee productivity and charges Clients with attractive long-term rates and you can realize what we offer to our clients on a long-term basis.

In India, we can establish and manage dedicated offshore development centers to develop IT solutions, maintain legacy systems, and provide 24-hour, on-call support.
