Today,
saving money is the primary motivation for Independent
Software Vendors (ISVs) seeking offshore outsourcing
vendor relationships. Some companies, not satisfied
with potential savings of 20% to 40%, seek greater savings
by opening their own offshore product development and
maintenance centers. This practice is particularly prevalent
in the high-tech sector, where companies may already
have offshore R&D centers, and in the financial
services sector, where companies are looking to reduce
costs and/or better secure their internal systems. Unfortunately,
the management investment and overhead costs associated
with opening a high-quality offshore product development
center that is intended to support an enterprise IT
organization rarely justifies the payoff. Companies
that are interested in opening their own offshore development
centers should weigh the risks and benefits carefully
and realistically before they embark on this major and,
in most cases, unnecessary step. Partnering with Quintegra
for product development helps address these issues effectively.
Quintegra provides all the desired benefits that ISVs
seek including reduced cycle times, lower costs, higher
quality, and rapid resource ramp up/down. Quintegra
leverages upon a wealth of experience in building and
maintaining commercial software products and application
platforms for global ISVs. Quintegra offers ISVs the
benefits of outsourcing, while minimizing the "hidden"
costs sometimes involved in outsourcing, such as the
cost of managing the work or ensuring quality. We offer
our clients:
Quintegra offers product services under
its proprietary methodology called ProCoDe (Product
Co-Development). The differentiating factor of our product
services is the emphasis on collaboration among clients
and Quintegra. Through this approach, Quintegra not
only offers the traditional benefits of offshoring product
services but also provides the features of a captive
center including total control over operations, high
degree of transparency and complete protection of IP.
Quintegra’s ProCoDe services
range from product application design and application
development, product quality assurance and testing,
to product maintenance and support. We offer ISVs both
point solutions as well as turnkey solutions, such as
comprehensive user support services. We have an established
process for companies seeking to establish a dedicated
Offshore Development Center, allowing them to begin
with project-based engagements and progress over time
to managed operations in a joint venture or other structure
designed to suit their needs. Taking a product from
concept to reality is a complex and arduous process.
Quintegra assists ISVs in this respect by tailoring
product services that best fit our clients’ business
requirements.
