Esquire’s Extended Software development Facility (ESDF) is a hybrid model that combines two conventional models of software development –
- Development services using outsourced staff; and
- Development services outsourced to a remote location
Esquire’s Extended Software Development Facility (ESDF), Offshore/ Offsite model has evolved into a unique, virtual, cost effective development option that provides complete project control and ownership to the client. ESDF is a unique outsourcing proposition designed to provide flexibility, control and continuity similar to that of an in-house operation, supplemented by the cost advantage, schedule advantage and process efficiency offered by an offshore software house.
In the ESDF model, we provide a dedicated team with the required skills and experience, to work solely for the client. The key differentiating factor from OSDS (Offshore Software Development Services) is that the group of resource personnel is blocked for the client and hence retains its business domain knowledge, which is available for subsequent projects. The quality processes and standards are also aligned with the client's IT division. The ESDF operation can be converted into an exclusive Offshore Development Centre (ODC) anytime, by providing more control to the client over the business direction of the offshore operations. Working closely with the Client team, Esquire helps understand mission critical milestones that help evaluate the Client’s IT performance, thereby driving continuous process improvements and greater efficiencies. The clients can also enhance their quality processes through the consulting services offered along with the ODC services. |
