For the most part, until now, outsource IT resources have been used for the following types of projects:
. Maintenance
. Conversions
. Renovations (Y2K, Euro)
. QA/Testing
These are all specification driven projects where requirements
are very well known and documented. These projects are
ideal when you want to minimize the need for cross continent
communications and flexible change management processes.
International IT Services is working with US based companies
to deliver enhancements, or new applications. These
project's requirements aren't well understood upfront
and accentuate International IT Services core competencies,
and investments in, a flexible communications infrastructure
and change management processes. We can deliver these
projects at less than half the cost, with less risk
of the collocated team staffed fully with US developers.
How do we do this? We come equipped with:
. expertise in Agile development techniques and processes,
. highly skilled and talented Vietnamese software engineers
that are compensated at local wages, and
. an internet based communications and project management
infrastructure
Every successful development project has the following
key attributes:
1. Executive sponsorship
2. A well defined (and measurable) project goal
3. Strong project management
4. Techniques to embrace the customer and their requirements
5. Understanding of current systems
6. Strong Technical skills
7. Excellent QA
Our Agile expertise ensures that items 1-4 are covered,
thereby minimizing the risks on your projects. Our development
team, and their communication infrastructure, ensures
that items 6&7 are brought to the project at dramatic
cost savings. That leaves the client with the sole requirement
of supplying the talent that understands the current
systems and environment (item 5).
In summary, we replace expensive US developers using an ineffective development methodology with highly skilled, motivated and inexpensive developers using an Agile methodology that is supported by an internet infrastructure.
