Since each organization we partner with has unique requirements, therefore at tCognition we follow different engagement models for delivering our services. Our outsourcing models allow you to have your virtual team with the same level of commitment and control and at the same time benefit from offshore economies. |
| |
| After project review, we estimate the manpower requirements. Depending on the man-days required, a fixed cost estimate for the complete project will be quoted. With the fixed price engagement model, there is an agreement of cost between us and our business partner. |
| |
| The predictability of your costs and schedule is well defined and hence there is minimal exposure to risk. In this type of model the more detailed the preparation, the smoother and faster the execution. |
| |
| Dual-shore model, takes advantage of onsite and offshore services to deliver results to clients at reduced costs. Under this model a local team stationed onsite with our business partner would manage the project's program management office and handle the issues such as requirements gathering and user-interface development. The onsite team would control the defined portion of the project that required interaction with the business subject matter experts and software architects onsite. Meanwhile, the team based at the offshore development center would facilitates with the coding, testing, and bug fixing so work could be performed around the clock. |
| |
| This model maximizes efficiency in resources and lowers down the costs. The dual-shore model enables our business partnerto directly interact with us through the onsite team and simultaneously enjoy the benefits of offshore |

| Some companies are not comfortable outsourcing to third-party vendors and instead opt to start their own local subsidiaries, a process that frequently is not as smooth as expected. Various obstacles such as legal, taxes, hiring, and management may be faced thru-out the set-up process. The difficulties of these captive subsidiaries have led to the evolution of a new business model in the offshore service industry called as BOT model. BOT is managed in three phases: |
| |
| We provide our business partner with a complete solution for building a presence in a particular country. We take care of all administrative and legal issues, from real estate, utilities, and permits, to computers, communications, and office supplies. We also provide the professional support staff and operating licenses to run functions. |
| |
| Operate |
| We provide a comprehensive set of operational management services, from HR and staffing, to accent training, accounting, payroll, legal, facilities, and security. Our business partners are able to focus their management time on their core business rather than on operational issues. Option to Transfer: Our partners have the option to bring the operation in-house at any time. Typically, the outsourcing contract includes a clause that states the client has the option to buy the entire operation after a fixed period. |
| |
| The logic behind the BOT model: the offshore partner can initiate operations and reach operating stability much faster than it can with an in-house effort. BOT model provide our business partners with bottom-line enhancements and fully offloaded costs, risks, and ownership of the new venture. The risk of execution is minimized, and business partners can spend their money on core functions. |
