Offshore Development
With the India Development Center, clients benefit from lower costs, no movement of software engineers, shortened project lifecycles due to cost/productivity advantages, and exceptionally high quality processes that comply with SEI CMM institute.
Reduced Application Total Cost of Ownership
On average, one or two onsite leads work with the IDC staff to provide a lower blended rate. Outsourcing software development requirements can deliver results like these:
• Average of 50% cost savings over current staffing
• Average of 40% productivity improvement
• Approximately 80% reduction in management overhead
• Faster return on investment
Significant Cost Savings
The Global Delivery Center (GDC) allows for duplication of the application environment, initial training, knowledge transfer, the transition process, and steady state phase. Our Clients have experienced first-year savings close to 40% of current costs; ongoing years average about 50%. These numbers are based on industry average rates for application development projects.
Productivity Improvement
The Apex GDC has rich experience in handling the delivery management across the shores and we attribute that to our highly skilled engineering staff and their adherence to the processes. Current productivity levels are determined at the outset of each program, and they target the achievement of higher levels within a six-month period. Our clients have experienced a 25% increase in productivity with a better quality output.
Reduction in Management Overhead
Apex's engagement manager (onsite) will be the POC and handles all day-to-day interactions, avoiding any surprises for both the Exec Mgt of APEX and Client. There is a clear escalation process outlined at the initiation phase. We have a strong SEPG group which enforces the SEI CMM practices and Audits the project progress periodically. The Audit reports are circulated to the Exec Mgt of APEX and to the client.
Managing Spikes in Activity
Apex's has the proved to be excellent service provider to its client and scored very well when it comes to quick ramp up and ramp down depending on the client’s need. This way, the client does not incur any unnecessary costs or carry unnecessary overhead; at the same time, Apex is always ready to meet the client's needs.
Faster Return on Investment (ROI)
Engaging with Apex enables the client’s to lower their costs, improving performance, and optimum utilization of the resource pool.
A distinguishing element of our dual-shore methodology is our Global Delivery Center (GDC).
As part of the dual-shore solution, the GDC also offers a preferred business model called the (GDC) for those clients who wish to engage in long-term business relationships. Under this model, the GDC will replicate a fully furnished virtual development center for the client, at its base in India.
Separate and dedicated staff and resources are allocated to this virtual extension of the client's development center. The GDC environment simulates the client environment, with software engineers, team leaders, and project managers assigned based on the Client’s need.
The GDC can be allocated for fixed or variable time periods, depending upon the scope of work. And the GDC takes complete responsibility for infrastructure management, recruitment, personnel training, hardware/software procurement and maintenance, the communication network, HR management, primary project management, and quality control.
