How We Work

Global Delivery Model

nfonics is one of the leading IT Consulting companies following a Global Delivery Model. With its offices in India,Ireland and USA, we serve our clients on a 24*7 model to meet their technology requirements. Global Delivery Model is the most successful outsourcing model amongst all the other models. It's a combination of onsite model and offshore model but unlike the onsite/offshore model where in the offshore development center of service provider is located at only one place, in the global delivery model the service provider has its offshore development centers spread out across the entire globe. The service provider need not have their own offshore development centers across the globe but they can use the resources of their partners located around the globe, and thus follow a global delivery model. This provides the client with a large working team with varied qualities and expertise in different fields.

Advantages of our Global Delivery Model includes:

Lower Risks: In case of any disaster/emergency at one of the offshore centers, the work continues at or is transferred to other offshore development centers. So the risk involved is low. Round-the-clock productivity: 24*7 work cycle becomes possible because of the time-zone difference. Best Results: Accomplishment of high quality work is possible, as the client will get the benefit of skilled manpower spread out across the globe. Shorter lead-time: Shorter project completion time as the work is completed by a number of offshore development centers working together with the same target.
Cost benefits: The cost saving benefits for the client resulting from offshore outsourcing is also appreciable. No new employee additions required: The service provider can provide the client with a large working team with varied skill set, which the client may not be able to employ for just the task at hand. No possibility of communication gap: Onsite team, which will be in direct contact with the client, is able to understand the client's needs in a better way. So no chance of misunderstanding the client's needs. Faster Response: Because of onsite team's presence response to changes in client's requirements is fast.

Engament Model

Over the years, we have helped software product and IT organizations reliably address and overcome their challenges - be it short term or long term. Our clients expect us to deliver solutions that allow them the flexibility to scale, manage and compete effectively our clients seek to accomplish team augmentation, out-tasking, outsourcing or co-sourcing to advance their business objectives. To be successful in delivering on these objectives, we have well-defined and articulated engagement models encompassing people, practices, roles, responsibilities, deliverables, infrastructure and associated costs. In the new economy, we realize that customers are increasingly demanding the flexibility that best serves their unique business requirements. We provide the option of selecting a combination of engagement models to suit various phases of a project cycle.

Fixed Time/ Fixed Price

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, we 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

Time and Materials

In this business model, Nfonics Solutions 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. We 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. We provide 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.

Revenue/Risk Share

We have endeavored to partner with our Clients, by offering unique risk-reward models for project delivery. Since information technology is intended to help our Clients become more effective in their business operations, we are open to linking our charges for a project with the level of business benefit our Clients realize. Revenue/Risk Share models are popular amongst emerging businesses or technology companies, wherein we can invest and share the development costs in return for jointly owning the Intellectual Property (IP) and sharing revenue/licensing fees. The risk and reward model is typically used during software product/subsystem development. Under this business model we share the risks involved in developing and marketing a product along with our customers.

Proof of Concept

Our commitment to our clients and confidence in ourselves is complete. So much so that, we would gladly offer a 1-2 person month Offshore pilot project with our compliments and with minimal professional fee to a new member of our Client family.

Dedicated Offshore development centers (ODCs)

Which organization would not like to have a dedicated IT delivery team? A team that understands their business and technology, which can be quickly changed in size without the administrative overhead of resourcing, managing and enabling the team with the infrastructure required. And, of course, delivers high-quality cost-effective solutions. Sounds like a dream! We have made this a reality for more than one client. 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 that can be used to augment the team at any time. Add to this a system that optimizes employee productivity and charges Clients attractive long-term rates and you can realize what we offer to our clients on a long-term basis.
