Build a technology and commercial partnership
by selecting a suitable engagement model

Dedicated

An enterprise level engagement model allowing clients to build their own extended virtual team by selecting highly-skilled technical resources committed to function as an extension of your in-house team. This model allows our partners the ability to control their team 100% and define their priorities, all without worrying about operation challenges like recruitment, training, infrastructure, administration, etc. This model works best for long-term collaboration to manage multiple projects and for long-term projects that begin from scratch.

When to choose

  • When you need an additional experienced work-force for long-term project needs and looking to avoid recruitment and training costs.
  • Advisable for projects requiring profound industry or domain knowledge that our experts have acquired.
  • When focus is more on product business development, delegate product development to a dedicated team.
  • Require a mix of both managerial skills and technical expertise based on the anticipated needs of the project.

What to expect

  • It’s flexible to scale up or scale down team size depending on the needs of your project at any stage.
  • Teams working exclusively on your projects, acting as your extended virtual team supporting all in-house teams.
  • Access to a large team size and skills such as project managers, designer, developers and quality assurance.
  • Save big on infrastructure while working with remote teams on multiple projects concurrently.

Fixed

The perfect engagement model for a well-defined project with defined deliverables within a specified budget and timeline. This model works best for urgent small and mid-size design and development projects, where companies want to lower the development cost and expect hassle-free project execution. The pricing in this model is determined based on the quantum of work needed and time-frame required. The price cannot be modified post project approval.

When to choose

  • When you have a well defined project scope and stable set of requirements which are unlikely to change over the development period.
  • Project needs to be delivered within a predefined time frame with short-term milestones to monitor progress.
  • Leveraging between in-house development cost vs. agency development cost due to a constrained budget.
  • Balancing bandwidth between managing client coordination vs. managing development teams and project execution.

What to expect

  • Minimal level of control needed over the team, project management and development.
  • No additional costs i.e. pay only for what you defined and committed at the start of the project.
  • Transparency during project execution - milestone based delivery monitoring and reporting.
  • Guaranteed on-time, on-budget project delivery as committed during project launch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evolving

The best pick for the projects with ongoing support, maintenance and enhancement needs where the iterations are frequent and uncommon. This model allows companies to have access to highly-skilled technical teams on an hourly, daily or weekly basis. This model suits mid-sized, complex, and long-term projects mostly with inconsistent workflow, high testing and refinement needs. The pricing in this model is determined based on the understanding of a particular work assignment, not the entire project.

When to choose

  • When your project scope and the specifications are likely to keep changing through-out the project.
  • While working through projects with high iterations frequency or projects requiring impromptu tasks execution.
  • When the client plans to lead the project planning and development on its own with assistance from technical project managers.
  • To try and experiment with a new project or opportunity, where the scope and manpower needs keep changing as per project’s evolving requirements.

What to expect

  • No long term commitment or liability towards hiring or retaining development assets.
  • No fixed or upfront payment, pay as you go for the tasks required and get them executed successfully.
  • Transparency during project execution - time spent is categorized and quantified.
  • Flexibility in developing, modifying the project specifications based on the changing needs of the market.

Prepaid

Our proprietary cloud-based order workflow suite enables our clients to quickly place orders, request revisions/corrections, download and store orders. This model allows companies to have access to highly-skilled artists and designers. The pricing in this model is determined based on the creative or non-creative requisites of the order and turn-around-time required.

When to choose

  • With our white-labelled services, you can use our expertise to deliver print-ready art to your clients and reps.
  • A partner who can handle large volumes of vector art, digitizing, and proof-creation while balancing cost and turn-arund time.
