Offshore Software Development Models

Being an innovative and flexible company we strive to provide our customers with the flexibility of choosing the appropriate software development partnership model to best suit their needs. We offer the following software development models:

1. Offshore model.

All project development, starting with envisioning through to the delivery and support stage, is done on Igoodsoft's premises. Customers are kept fully aware of each project stage; material results are provided to clients regularly on a pre-arranged basis.

2. Onsite model.

The project is carried out on your site. With its pool of 30 developers, Igoodsoft is able to bring highly qualified staff with strong programming skills to your location. The process starts by selecting the right candidates to work on your project development. We review your desired qualifications in a person and select a few candidates who match your requirements for your review.

3. Combined onsite/offsite model.

The onsite team located at your premises directly interacts with our offshore development team. The onsite team is able to address and attend to critical items and integration issues which need immediate attention, while our dedicated offshore team will work on system development.

This model maximizes utilization of time and resources by providing you with 24-hour development time and reducing production costs through the utilization of our own offshore facilities. We recommend this model for middle-sized and large projects which are subject to change and need immediate attention from our team.

4. Offshore Development Center (ODC).

This model allows you to have a virtual extension of your in-house software team. We form a dedicated team of software specialists which is pre-selected by you. The team adopts your practices and methodologies of software development and project management.

The project management can be either on our or your side. In both cases you have full control over the software lifecycle.

5. Customers' Own Methodologies.

Being a dynamic and flexible company, Igoodsoft is ready to employ your own working standards and methodologies.

Business Models

1. Fixed Price

We provide customers with a Project Quotation that describes in detail the project scope and schedule. The payment schedule for a Fixed Price/Fixed Date agreement depends on project milestones and duration.

We recommend this model for middle-sized projects, where the scope of the project is defined and timelines are aggressive. This is the most cost-effective outsourcing solution to take advantage of.

2. Time and Material

In this case the "full time equivalent" scheme is applied which means that the customer is charged at a daily rate for each employee dedicated to the customer's project. All invoices for this type of contract are accompanied by project reports.

We recommend this model for middle-sized and large projects which are dynamic and have fluidity. This model provides you with the maximum control over deliverables and the team which works on the project. For payment, a "full time equivalent" scheme is applied which means that an hourly rate is charged for each employee dedicated to your project. All invoices for this type of contract are accompanied by project reports.

Whichever model you use, we offer a 5% discount for large projects (with duration of more than 1 year).
