Engagement Models
We, at GirnarSoft, work as a partner to our clients and not just as a service provider. To suit
the customer requirements and to provide them flexibility that best serves their unique business
requirements, we provide them with the option of selecting a particular engagement model or a
combination of various models to suit various phases of a project cycle.
With our global delivery capabilities, we can offer services "on-site" at the client's very
own premises or "off-shore" at our world-class software development facility in Jaipur and
Hyderabad, India.
Engagement Models
• Fixed-Price
• Time and Material
• Hybrid = Fixed Price + Time and Material
• Dedicated Development Centre
While working with GirnarSoft, clients get full control of the project delivery and can
dramatically reduce their costs and IT overheads. GirnarSoft's approach to outsourcing can
also substantially improve IT effectiveness and help organizations focus and achieve strategic
business goals by taking end to end responsibility of the IT needs of the organization.
Fixed-Price
This model works best for clients 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 changes in the project scope or requirements, a
standard change request procedure is followed and a predefined fixed hourly rate agreed at the
initial stage of start of project can be paid
Time and Material
When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project are not
easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model works out to be the best option. Under this
model, clients pay as per use of the hourly development efforts. Under this mode we define the
execution model and work hand in hand with our client for execution of end-to-end project. If
during the project execution the scope is frozen we can convert this project to the fixed price
model. We have very strict project management and reporting practices whereby time sheets are
generated on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project and clients are sent
daily updates on mails and weekly / bi-weekly calls.
Hybrid = Fixed Price + Time and Material
Sometimes it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed Price
basis and at the same time deploy a few resources on a Time and Materials Pricing for small
modules of the project. Adopting this model enables the client to optimize their budgets without
compromising any aspect of the project itself.
Offshore Development Center
This model provides an efficient and seamless extension of the client's development facilities
with a high cost advantage because of the lower offshore rates. We partner with clients and
invest in replicating their IT environments, training our teams, setting up communication &
security systems and integrating our development processes with theirs to make it just like an
extension of their onsite team. This is suitable for clients with long term approach and results in
savings upto 60%.
