Tri-Force has always maintained a focused approach toward offshore development.

We offer offshore development as an alternative. That alternative can help you to utilize our exceptional skills on a multitude of technologies.

We foster a development environment that is tailormade to your requirements. That "tailormade" environment will help you increase your "Return on Investment" without the added concerns of a significant upfront investment, the infrastructure management and risks associated with maintaining and managing such infrastructure. Our "technology lab on hire concept" will provide you with a dedicated team of individuals who can service your specific needs. That service covers every aspect of technology and related infrastructure.

Our offshore development methodology uses of two commonly followed approaches:

Offsite/Offshore Model

The first tier includes a Project Services Center "PSC" that based in the U.S., which is the point-of-contact for the customer. The Project Services Team, manages:

• Detailed design
• Construction
• Testing
• Documentation

The second-tier Project Execution Center "PEC" is stationed offshore in India. The offshore center includes a development team also headed by a Project Manager. The Project Execution team is involved in:

• Analysis
• Planning
• Technical architecture
• High-level design
• Delivery
• Coordination of all communication between the customer and the PEC

PSC Tasking:

Project initiation, planning, scope, risk, change, and end-point delivery management are handled at the PSC.

PEC Tasking:

Infrastructure, Resource, configuration and execution management are handled at the PEC. The important features of this Offsite/Offshore model are: (a) The development partner is in the same geographical location as the customer. Therefore, the partner can easily interact with the customer's team on a daily basis. Interacting teams from both ends can also meet on a daily basis.

The success of the model depends on the proximity of a customer to the development partner.

This model works extremely well in case of complex, distributed n-tier applications where (1) there is a constant need for change and (2) the application development is highly iterative and encompasses an evolving model.

The offsite team does most of the design and deployment while the offshore team does development & testing.

Onsite/Offshore Model

Where the nature of the project involves intense collaboration or interaction on a continual basis or there is a customer specific requirement, an onsite presence is maintained.

The onsite manager works from the customer site and coordinates project related aspects with the ODC and the customer. This onsite presence may involve a single resource or an entire project services team, depending on the nature, size, and complexity of the development initiative. The important features of this approach are:

The approach requires an onsite coordinator or an onsite project manager.

The onsite component may include one or more resources depending upon the size and complexity of the project

A considerable amount of the work effort can be transitioned to the offshore facility. That transition can result in a significant cost benefit to the customer.
