Soluzione is an agile partner, flexible in tuning the established engagement models and helping you make the most out of the partnership. Our engagement specialists customize the engagement model to work around your specifics - from business goals to project management and the complete support and operations activities.

Your product and business is unique, and at Soluzione, we always keep that in mind. We offer you total flexibility to choose the best suited engagement model. We also offer blended models to meet your specific needs. Software development engagement models are diverse. Soluzione management team developed several models related to software development processes which proved to suit our customers very well.

Soluzione offers five possible software development engagement models on a high level:

Software Consultancy Model

Soluzione offers consultancy services, typically used to kick start a specific initiative or address a particular problem. Our consultancy services are best used for enterprise and solution architecture design, software development, software selection, business and engineering analysis, and testing supervision, enhancement and migration strategy and design.

Our consultants use their technical & domain expertise with a collaborative approach to create scalable models on modern technologies. The choice of engagement model for consulting is the model that mitigates risks appropriately whether it is fixed cost, time & materials basis or a percentage of project cost.

Resource Outsourcing Model

You can choose to hire our developers with specific technical expertise (.net, SharePoint, testing, graphics, and project management) to enhance and supplement your existing teams. This model best suits the needs of clients who have on-going development needs. This model ensures that the extended team works as an extension of the client's team and provides resource flexibility, extensive scalability, cost and time efficiencies, cross trained resources and the ability to adjust to peak loads.

This model incorporates a pool of specialized, multi-disciplinary resources that are organized and managed by Soluzione to meet the client's explicit business objectives. These resources may be expected to follow processes and standards as per client's requirement while working in our development centre. Work time of the resource is reserved for a client, and he is expected to keep the workload of the resource at the agreed specified level.

Global Fixed Price Model

Soluzione offers global fixed-price project solutions for application development where we assume the risk and responsibility to deliver on time and within budget, freeing our customers to focus on their real business priorities. This works best for customers who know exactly what they want and are looking for a competitive fixed price and agreed timescale for the complete development.

Based on our past experience, the successful delivery of fixed-price projects always requires a comprehensive requirements specification which has clear acceptance criteria and defines the system requirements to a level of detail and precision such that each individual requirement is test-able. This requirements document may be the result of an earlier consulting engagement with Soluzione (or other competent third-party) or the customer's own analysis.

During fixed-price projects, we focus on making staged deliveries of working code throughout fixed-price projects in order to provide our customers with clear evidence of progress and visibility of the end solution, matched by rigorous and well-documented testing processes, and post-live warranty periods.

Time and Materials (collaborative and agile projects) Model

When project requirements are evolving continuously, time & materials model is best suited. In this model Soluzione assigns a project team including project management, equipment and infrastructure and the client pays Soluzione per use of the hourly development efforts.

Software development project requirements tend to evolve during the course of implementation thereby necessitating additional or lesser resources. This model facilitates changes in resource types and numbers to suit the needs of the project, while optimizing on the time and costs. Under this model the development effort is billed at the end of every month based on a monthly generated time sheet and a pre-negotiated hourly rate. Often, your Product Manager will be in direct collaboration with our Project Manager.

Integrated Teams Model

This is a type of engagement derived directly from the Time and Materials model. The main difference being that the Project Manager is located at the customer site and rest of the team works in-house. Usually, we use this model for long term, complex software development projects where the full development cycle is being required. The overall project benefits from the expertise of all integrated teams and availability of our resource and direct interaction with customer full-time.
