that best serves their unique business requirements. We provide the option of selecting
a combination of business models to suit various phases of a project cycle.
- We leverage our global delivery capability to offer services “on-site” at the client’s
very own premises or “off-shore” at our world-class software development facilities
in India. Offshore Strategic Sourcing with AxisTechnoLabs is very different from
traditional outsourcing models. With AxisTechnoLabs, you don't give up control and
you can dramatically reduce your costs and IT concerns. AxisTechnoLabs's approach

Software Development Models

|
|
|
Dedicated Development Center Model
|
|
|
- Extension of the Customer's Software engineering Facility. The customer pays fixed
monthly rate for the Team.
- A Dedicated development center, which is an extension of the customer's software
engineering facility, is popular among customers, who are looking at long-term gains
from offshore outsourcing.
- In this model AxisTechnoLabs reserves resources, equipment and infrastructure, exclusively
for the customer. While such a model is normally for a pre-determined minimal period
of time, it allows the client to leverage the talent pool of AxisTechnoLabs, the
cost effectiveness of such an offering and superiority of our Project Management.
- We jointly identify and define the team along with our customer and have full transparency,
access and control on the team along with our customer whereby the dedicated team
works as extension of the customers' development team. We have successfully implemented
this concept for more than 50 software product companies across the globe thereby
enabling them to obtain a sustainable advantage over their competition and providing
them possibilities of supernormal savings in their development costs.
- We partner with our clients to invest in replicating their IT environments, training
our teams, setting up communication & security systems and integrating our development
processes with theirs to ensure that the offshore team is an efficient and seamless
extension of the client's development facilities. We also invest in creating a pool
of additional resources who can be used to augment the team at any time. In addition
this system optimizes employee productivity and charges Clients with attractive
long-term rates and you can realize what we offer to our clients on a long-term
basis.
- In India, we can establish and manage dedicated offshore development centers to
develop IT solutions, maintain legacy systems, and provide 24-hour, on-call support.
This model works best for
- Software Product Development
- Usually this model works best for software product companies for whom we setup end-to-end
development and support facility working as extension of client’s team.
Existing overseas Software development houses
- We setup extension of client teams in India for IT companies globally. In this model
also we work with a dedicated team.
- Dynamically Changing scope requirements
- For clients who are in dynamic industries and scope of work keeps on changing even
while we develop the application this model works best as we don’t go back and forth
for every change request that gets specified.
- For clients who wish to associate with us for long term this is the best model where
savings ranging upto 70% on costs can be achieved.

Hybrid Model
|
|
|
- A Major portion of project is on a Fixed Price basis and at the same time resources
are deployed on Time and Material basis. Adopting such a model enables the client
to maximize their ROI without compromising any aspect of the project itself.
- Very often it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed
Price basis and at the same time deploy resources on a Time and Materials Pricing
basis. We call this the hybrid model. Adopting such a model enables the client to
maximize their budgets without compromising any aspect of the project itself.
- Needless to mention here that this model too can be Onsite, Offsite, Offshore or
any combination of the same.
- This model is used when client wishes to work on fixed price model and when the
project scope is not detailed enough to enable us to estimate the effort with accuracy.
Based on the initial concept note we define a short initial.
|
|
|
Fixed Price Model
|
|
|
- The customer pays a pre-negotiated Fixed price for the complete project, which in
turn is linked to well-defined deliverables.
- Our fixed time, fixed price model offers customers a low-risk option and can be
employed when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear.
This model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects. Deliverables, Costs
and Timelines are clearly defined in the Fixed Time/Fixed Price model. In fixed
time, fixed-price engagements.
- AxisTechnoLabs follows a phased approach that includes scoping, development, implementation
and business support. Combining the fixed time, fixed price model with our solutions
center, we can offer customers a tremendous advantage on the cost front.
- This model works best for - Customers with well-defined requirements and project
schedules. Under this option, the customer pays a pre-negotiated fixed price for
the complete project, which in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables. For
any change in scope a predefined fixed hourly rate agreed at the initial stage of
start of project is paid. For any changes there is a standard change request procedure
that is followed for which we have structured processes in place.

Time and Material Model
|
|
|
- Define the business model and work hand in hand with our client. The client pays
a fixed hourly rate.
- When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project
are not easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model becomes an attractive
option. Under this model, you pay as per use of the hourly development efforts.
Under this mode we define the business model and work hand in hand with our client
for execution of end-to-end project. At times once the scope is frozen the time
and material project also gets converted to the fixed price model. We have very
strict project management and reporting practices whereby task sheets are generated
on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project.
- In this business model, AxisTechnoLabs forms project teams with the required team
members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on project requirements.
Customers pay a monthly charge based on the size and composition of the team. This
model offers the flexibility to balance team size and project workloads. Most of
our onsite services (unless it is part of a fixed time, fixed price project) are
delivered using this business model. AxisTechnoLabs could bid for partial phases
of a project on a fixed time, fixed price basis and the remaining parts on a time
and material basis. In such engagements, the Client has complete flexibility in
using our associates in tasks that match their area of expertise.
- AxisTechnoLabs provides knowledgeable, skilled, motivated, energetic and competent
consultants who work seamlessly as part of client teams to provide quality solutions.
Our consultants are handpicked after assessing their technical, communication and
interpersonal skills. We keep our consultants on the cutting edge of information
technology by providing them with ongoing advanced training and skill-building workshops.
