Time & Material Engagement Model

Time and material engagement model is deployed when the project scope, specification and implementation cannot be decided at the onset of the project and might change dynamically during project implementation.  Time and material model provides the flexibility of modulating the size and workloads of the development team assigned to your project, while optimizing time and costs. Under the hourly rate assignment model, DbyDx offers its skilled resources, and the development effort is billed at the end of every month based on the pre-negotiated and mutually agreed hourly rate. Hence, the total project cost is determined by the amount of time and resources expended.

The time and material model offers high degree of flexibility to alter specifications, accommodate unplanned activities rapidly, and adjust project resources based upon your evolving requirements throughout the software development process.

Dedicated OSDC

Under time and management model, we at DbyDx also provide with our clients with a dedicated offshore development centre in order to ensure smooth work progress.  We provide a dedicate resource team to the client, who acts as a virtual extension of the customer's operating environment. This model offers the overseas customer a ready solution to start his development center in India without any gestation period.

As this model is completely based on the progress of the project, a dedicated OSDC enables the client to keep a check on the progress of the work. It provides a flexible work environment as the client can make changes at any point of development stage.  Also an OSDC help build better understanding between the client and us as we work as their extension.

Co-sourcing

Co-sourcing is a business practice where a service is performed by staff from inside an organization and also by an external service provider. It can be a service performed in concert with a client's existing internal audit department. The scope of work may focus on one or more aspects of the internal audit function. Co-sourcing earns advantage over Total Outsourcing in a way that it minimizes sourcing risks, brings in transparency, clarity and better control over the processes outsourced.

Our Co-Sourcing model ensures that the strategic control and innovation layer is retained with the client, planning is done collaboratively and operational excellence is delivered by us. This combination not only offsets the drawback of traditional Total IT Outsourcing, not being aligned with the buyer company’s strategy, but also provides cost benefits associated with total outsourcing. The approach really makes sense when the client company already has a global outsourcing strategy.

The typical Features of time and material model are:
  • Single Standard rate - X$/hr - irrespective of resource used
  • Ideal for Small jobs/Tasks based approach
  • Enables quick change in project when needed
  • Is more flexible and adaptable
  • Client involvement is more
  • Less expensive than fixed
