Our standard method for project tracking and handling issues and request for change is the web-based project management software iManagement. In order to track progress in nearshore / offshore software development projects we can use weekly project status reports, reports on demand or we can use the method / tools preferred by you. Data may be transmitted via email, fax or telephone.

From our experience, the right size for a nearshore / offshore software development project profitable for both parties is over 3MM. The cost reduction benefit from nearshore / offshore outsourcing is of course in proportion with the project size. Volume benefits appear in case we set a framework for repeated project for the same nearshore /offshore partner because the costs of setting up the partnership and communication are one-time costs.

In project based collaboration, ensuring dedicated resources is a key element for short reaction time. This is implied in the nearshore / offshore dedicated team nearshore / offshore collaboration. In both cases, the reaction time is one of the level of service terms agreed upon before the start of the nearshore / offshore collaboration and has to be convenient for the client as well as for us, ensuring the productive work of the nearshore / offshore development team.

Depending on the nearshore / offshore software development project type and phase, we choose together with the client the best communication methods to ensure project success. We have set up a work method and hardware / software infrastructure allowing various communication means:

Basically, offshore development is about reducing the costs usually involved with your development operations by contracting highly specialized personnel located in a low-cost environment, such as India. Lower development costs imply a smaller price for your product / services, and a better position on the market for your company.

Wittmann&Partner Romania treats nearshore/offshore software projects the same as local software outsourcing projects, proposing solutions that guarantee maintenance and support for the software developed. In the first place, we recommend that the client choose from the project setup phase for a maintenance and support agreement or an agreement for on demand interventions.

The development of a pilot project is often the best method to reduce nearshore / offshore project risks. Based on our experience, the best solution to minimize risks is to cover responsibly project phase and pay particular attention to quality assurance and testing during the nearshore / offshore software development project.

Once you begin sending payments through Harbour, you must only send payments through Harbour. This will establish a consistent payment history. Once we disburse your funds to the creditors, you will receive a monthly statement indicating accounts paid, the date, and amount paid to each. You will also be introduced to your personal Account Advisor, a trained creditor expert, who will supervise your accounts and alert you of any changes in creditor policies.

It depends on what type of operating agreement you reach with your contractor. In a shelter arrangement, for example, you can consider the remote operation as a satellite of your company, another department. A shelter provider, such as IOS, will contribute the facility, personnel, customs services, offshore legal presence, and administration of all offshore functions such as human resources, security, accounting, food service, transportation and others.

Ans: We can explain you the whole development methodology in detail through our offshore development methodology white paper (it's a separate document by itself, and please request us to send you a copy of it). However it's not a whole lot different from any other outsourcing project.

We have been in this business for long and realise that it is not possible to think of everything before the start of the project. We regularly send you a work in progress copy of the software so that we can incorporate your inputs about the functionality or user interface of the software. The software we develop will be used by you or your clients, therefore we take care to incorporate any suggestion made by you. After all, this is what customized software development is all about.

When your order has been sent you will receive an email confirming that it has been shipped and it will include a UPS tracking number (USA and some Canadian orders only). You can log into our site at VeganEssentials.com and track your order from there or go directly to www.UPS.com and use their online tracking feature to find out where your order is at any given time. For orders outside the USA which are sent via USPS Air Mail, we unfortunately have no way to track these orders.

All of our interactive training programs use CourseWorks™ – the delivery, tracking and monitoring software. Pretests and posttest can be administered to assess an employee’s knowledge level before and after taking a course. Passing scores are assigned to ensure that the participants have retained the information before taking another course. CourseWorks is ISO and QS 9000 compliant; providing detailed results for outputting and review.

General communication between AROBS and its clients is done via e-mail. Each message gets sent to the task developer, the expert in the field (i.e. database expert, GUI expert, business module expert, etc) and the project supervisor. Each type of mail has a specific response time interval (i.e. 1 hour for a production bug, 2 days for design analysis).

by sending you the last versions of the programs being developed. Normally we do this by-monthly, but we can reduce the time interval between two consecutive "deliveries" if the circumstances require it by means of the time sheet reporting system. Programmers access this system online to record all the time they spend on projects. You can also access the time sheets based on a user name and password we supply to you

We regard quality as the most important aspect of our activities. Hence, we take all the necessary steps to ensure we deliver products of the highest quality possible. To do so, we rely on a testing department which we can scale up or down, based on customer requirements. We are committed to providing you with a bug free code.

Mainly RPG III, RPG IV, Java (Visual Age and SanFrancisco), Centura, C, Microsoft Access, C++ (Microsoft, Borland, Code Warrior), Visual Basic.

Just for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon, we can offer you the following popular slogan to describe our pricing: "with AROBS you are getting the greatest value for any dollar you pay". Depending on the salary levels from your local markets, you can save up to 50% of the total labor costs by enlisting our service. We are not promising the lowest rates available because such an approach signals low quality.

Drew Robb's article from "Information Week" magazine explains both mentioned reasons. Click here to view selected fragments from this article.

Russia has a 40-year history of manufacturing computers and producing original software for them. For many years Russian universities put into the market more and more high qualified IT professionals to satisfy the growing needs of military enterprises and research institutes in human resources. Political and economical changes of recent years caused serious production cutback in many branches of industry.

To coin a popular phrase in describing our pricing: "with Digitella you are getting the greatest value for any pound you spend". Depending on the salary levels for your local market and platform, you can save up to 60% of the total labour costs by enlisting our service. We do not promise the lowest rates available because such an approach signals low quality.

Communication with Russian development team is often a concern for foreign customers. The issues could be: We can say that once you decided to outsource your project to Intelligence-Soft you don't need to worry about communication. We pay special attention to the language education of our employees. Each developer had passed special tests to confirm his/her ability to speak English fluently before he/she was hired.

We believe that communications is one of most important aspects of our service. To this end we publish weekly status reports that detail our current progress and the next steps. Our status reports also include a weekly task log that detail our daily activities and time usage.
