This model reduces the cost of hardware resources required and also offers several other cost savings. Offsite development facilitates need-based allocation of resources to the project (resource loading will vary based on the requirement at each stage of the project). This model may not have as much user interaction as in the Onsite model but definitely is more economical.

In the Offsite Development scenario, clients may not be required to provide development and production environments. There may be a need for the customer to visit with the development team or the team's managers for greater efficiency.

This model is ideal when:

• The scope has been defined in detail
• The scope will not undergo any more changes once the requirements are agreed upon
• Timelines are aggressive

Our Methodology :

Our team meets with the customer team to work out the details of the engagement. The project scope, deliverables, screen layouts, reporting, functionality issues, timelines, etc. are all be defined in detail. A small mockup of the actual application may also be developed during this phase to understand the look-and-feel of the end product.

After the definition phase, work moves to American Solutions facility. Deliverables and other progress reports will be made available to the customer at pre-agreed intervals. The customer, if they choose, can be provided remote access into the development server via a VPN or some other secure means. By accessing the development server remotely, the customer can monitor progress in real time, and maintain overall control even though work is being carried out offsite ensuring the client of implementation and maintenance.

Advantages of Offsite Delivery Model:

• Responsiveness to changes in client’s requirements is faster on account of the offsite center.
• Clients get all the advantages of offsite delivery model (Labour cost and infrastructure cost).
• The client has control on the development process up to a certain limit.
