Offshore Engage
Our offshore partner Kring has a fully functional development centre at Gurgaon, India. The development centre is a secure facility with restricted access and complete power back-up facilities. Kring is maintaining a 24 X 7 structured network with branded servers & development machines, RAID-5 data back-up, secure firewall, scalable Internet bandwidth and licensed software development environment.
Wellington/Kring offers 100% offshore development services, where all the steps of the SDLC, right from initial requirement analysis to project initiation, design, development, testing and overall project management are accomplished at Wellington/Kring’s India development centre. However, depending upon project dynamics, certain steps of the SDLC like initial requirement analysis, final delivery and end-user training can also be performed at client sites.
Wellington firmly believes that effective communication between the clients’ and the development partner is must for the success of any project be it onsite, offshore or onsite/offshore. Another important criterion is the involvement of clients’ in the development life cycle.
The need for effective communication and client involvement becomes more pronounced in case of offshore and onsite/offshore development. Wellington strongly encourages its clients’ to be a part of the offshore development team during the early stages of the project.
Wellington has put in place an effective mechanism to ensure seamless communication between the client and Wellington’s offshore development team.
- Wellington uses MS Project, Project Central and Share Point Portal Server based Project Management Application. The MS Project server is used for internal project management, the clients’ are in real-time.
- Wellington manages the communication between the client and offshore team using multiple methods like VoIP & IP Phones, E-mail, IM and Audio-Video Conferencing.
- Wellington has comprehensive Risk Management, Change Management and Version Control processes to effectively manage offshore projects.
- Wellington follows the use-case based or design-based iterative ‘Prototyping’ approach, where clients’ functional requirements are translated into ‘look and feel’ prototypes and modules, before freezing the project scope and proceeding with the development.
- Wellington follows ISO 9000/SEI CMM benchmark quality standards in development life cycle, project management and documentation.
