Q3 tech’s Engagement Model

Q3 tech’s Engagement Model

Q3 technologies engage with customers with the primary objective of bringing lasting value and true benefits of outsourced product development to our customers. Starting your project with Q3 Technologies is a simple and straightforward process. Our goal through the entire process and beyond is to be completely transparent, eliminate surprises, keep you informed, and most importantly, do what we say we are going to do.

The primary modes of engagement at Q3 technologies are:

Project Outsourcing

We at Q3 tech believe that project outsourcing can be done either in a Fixed Price/Fixed Time Model or in a Time and Materials model depending upon the specific requirements and definition of scope.

Fixed Time, Fixed Price

When project specifications, scopes, deliverables and acceptance criteria are clearly defined Q3 tech's project management team can present a not-to-exceed fixed price, fixed time proposal. Based on Q3 tech’s processes and methodologies, it can ensure reliability, predictability and optimized performance of the projects to deliver on time, on budget, on target. This way Q3 technologiesdelivers cost-effective quality solutions.

Time & Material

When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project are not easy to define at the outset and are undergoing changes, a Time & Material Model becomes an attractive option. Under this model, Q3 tech assigns a project team including project management, equipment and infrastructure and the client pays as per use of the hourly development efforts, making it the most flexible of the three models. Q3 tech acknowledges the fact that software development project requirements tend to evolve during the course of implementation thereby necessitating additional or lesser resources. To facilitate such development, this model gives the flexibility of adjusting the client’s project team size, while optimizing on the time and costs. Under this model the development effort is billed at the end of every month based on a monthly generated time sheet and a pre-negotiated hourly rate.

Extended Team

If the software engineering needs are ongoing, the engagement can be in the form of an Extended Team that works in close partnership with the customer either on co-development or completely outsourced development models. The Extended Team model helps our customers create an extension of their own development teams. This model incorporates a pool of specialized, multi-disciplinary resources that are organized and managed by Q3 tech to meet the client’s explicit business objectives. The team is trained for a particular client, while working from Q3 tech’s development center and goes to extra lengths to simulate processes to exacting standards as per the client’s requirements. The Extended Team model is usually applied in long-term partnerships with a significant amount of work. Importantly in complex projects, where it is not advisable to replace the developer during the project.

Success in Outsourced Product Development

2009-03-28T05:34:00.000-07:00

Success in Outsourced Product Development

The recent economic slowdown was so swift and dramatic that many companies had to find ways to trim their outsourced product development costs in a hurry. While the big companies could move to scale up their lower cost offshore design centers rather quickly, the smaller companies were without that option. Unable to find a quick and economical way to implement their dream projects, many startups were forced to shut down. Still others signed contracts with limited third party product developers in low-cost geographies only to realize that outsourced product development is easier said than done.

Occasionally, customers discuss their experience in outsourced product development with companies, almost always noting failures by both parties. Like everything else, there’s a process for successful outsourced product development, and lack of enforcement will lead to expensive mistakes. Any outsourced product development project has several stakeholders, starting with the management of both the product and service companies. But the key stakeholders are the VP and Director of Engineering in a product company and the Technical Lead and Project Manager in a services company; their experience and skills can make or break the engagement.

It’s important to know the business model of your partner for outsourcing product development. While many companies make available qualified engineers, tools, and infrastructure, they sometimes do not take delivery responsibility for the product. The product development almost always involves hardware and software. While it’s much easier to have everything done by the same vendor, one must also consider their capabilities in both areas separately. In any case understand the business model and their fit to your requirements.

Outsourcing product development requires extensive documentation, much more than when doing it internally. Since it is a contractual arrangement, it requires very detailed documentation. Lack of adequate documentation is one sure way to end up in failure. Full documents are the requirements before the actual work starts and all the way through completion of the outsourced product development project.

Success in outsourcing product development is not obtained through black magic. It is the ultimate fruit that is harvested after the long process of careful and planned implementation of the various components that go into the execution of a project of outsourced product development.

Q3 Technologies an Outsourced Software Development company help our customers achieve new heights with reduced Time-To-Market and substantial cost saving.

Offshore Product Development

2009-01-12T21:40:00.000-08:00

Emergence and Growth of Offshore Product Development

The Independent Software Vendors today not only want better features in new products but also want them faster, it is imperative that they look at capitalizing on a partnership with a professional offshore product development company to beat competition, gain faster time-to-market and reduce their initial investment in-terms of time, money and effort. More important among these is the fact that an offshore product development company can assist an independent software vendor to stay competitive—which is the main necessity today. Across the industry, an intensely competitive market means shrinking product life cycles, growing technical complexities, shorter release cycles and an ever-faster time-to-market.

Benefits of Offshore Product Development

Offshore Product Development companies today are completely focused on developing products. Although offshore product development started as a tool for labor arbitrage, today, the benefits gained by independent software vendor include higher quality, development discipline and significant value addition in terms of process efficiencies and innovation.

Product development is one of the fastest-growing segments of the offshore services market. As companies across a range of verticals, from aerospace to medical instruments, grapple to add more value-added software to their product while cutting their

overall research and development costs, this offshore segment will expand dramatically. Offshoring product development requires that we take ownership of the product development from architecture, system and business perspective. With help from your core business or technical team, we deliver quality product development throughout the life cycle of the product.

The Offshoring Product Development companies today offer both core and non-core services. Below are some of the services being offered:

New Product development / definition
Product migration and re-engineering
Product customization
Web-enablement
QA and test automation, full product testing
Product support
Product integration / professional services
Documentation

The Offshore Product Development companies even offer innovative prototypes and proof-of-concepts to visualize the end product. They bring in greater bandwidth to develop multiple versions of the independent software vendor product thereby enabling the ISV to gain a faster time- to-market.

Considering that the Offshoring Product Development companies today offer more than just programming services and lower costs, the independent software vendor should strategically leverage a partnership with an Offshoring Product Development to get significant value in-terms of on-demand services that will help garner a greater market share.
