Development Center Services |

The cost of software development
and maintenance is continuously rising in the
Developed market due to the high cost of labor.
The cost of development is compounded with cost
of quality and correction. The Off-shore development
model offers a cost-effective and workable alternative
to on-site development. ODCs need to have systems
and processes in place to ensure customer confidence
and quality of deliverables.

| Problem
Statement |
|
The cost of software development
and maintenance has spiraled over the years and
is often plagued by market dynamics and lower
budgets. The cost of implementation can vary based
on the maturity of software engineering systems
and processes and their adherence. The quality
of the implementation again varies based on the
availability of quality manpower and the ability
to repeatedly deliver consistent quality. Robust
Software Engineering Practices and Processes need
to be developed and maintained to ensure quality.
Implementing the same at on-site locations in
the developed markets is a very expensive proposition.
User organizations are often skeptical on the
concept of out-sourced and offshore development
for their solutions due to the lack of transparent
and verifiable processes and systems. ODC partners
need to demonstrate their skills and abilities
more by deed and performance. ODC partners need
to demonstrate their process and delivery skills
in a measurable and tangible manner.
