Global Delivery Engagement Models

We collaborate on each Offshore Development Center (ODC) engagement as an extended arm to your own development organization. A dedicated ODC has its own deliverables, protocols, schedules, security and infrastructure. We provide the same discipline and commitment to your product development programs, as though your own team was running them. Your products. Our business.

Our engagement models account for all the possible pros and cons of strategic offshore outsourcing. Our Global Service Delivery Model affords the flexibility to find a solution suiting each outsourcing/ co-sourcing requirement. Each option has trade-offs between ownership (control), cost and setup time, as listed below:

Offshore Projects
  • Individual projects with specific start and end dates.
  • We offer fixed price and managed time and material (T&M) effort-based projects.
  • Minimum fixed resource commitment. Resources can be ramped up/ down above the minimum commitment with notice.
ODC managed by PSI Data Systems
  • Lowest setup time.
  • We own delivery responsibility. ODCs work seamlessly as an extension to your onshore team.
  • Your departments like marketing, products and sales interact closely with our offshore team for requirements, changes, etc to develop your products according to your needs.
  • This model suits startup ISVs or new product developments.
ODC managed by client
  • You control the offshore team directly and own responsibility for product delivery.
  • We provide infrastructure, recruitment, dedicated personnel and local support.
  • This model often suits established software product companies, allowing them to retain critical control over existing product development, version releases, etc.
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or Virtual Captive model
  • An ODC can be planned/ contracted to be transferred you as per your outsourcing strategy.
  • PSI-managed ODCs can have an option to convert into a joint venture (JV) or fully-owned subsidiary at a given time.
  • This works for companies who want their own offshore operation, but have constraints getting there.
  • We manage the initial setup, infrastructure, recruitment and basic processes in the Build and Operate phases.

Based on our insights working with ISVs at different stages of growth, we offer innovations in engagement models like the Split-shoring and Reverse BOT variants.
