Core Development work is carried out offshore; however, this is supported by both an onsite team and additional critical development and testing resources at a local office. The onsite team is again focused primarily on project management and requirements definitions/changes, but has the added advantage of ensuring the deliverability towards perfect need of the client with face to face coordination efforts offsetting the drawbacks that might occur in regular offshore communications This model increases response time and reduces the risks in conventional off shoring methodologies.
