This is the preferred model for standard software products, which are developed in a continuous and ongoing process, i.e. for software companies.
Our customer hand selects and manages “his” team directly, defines its targets, provides workplans, and controls results.
As the dedicated team after some time becomes knowledgeable about the customers’ targets, processes and standards, the communications overhead decreases, and the dedicated team can more and more work independent from frequent communications.
This is the most productive nearshore model.
The dedicated team is compensated on a monthly fee base, with alternatives with / without replacements for vacation or sickness.
