Delivery models
Bridge has several years of experience in managing offshore projects. Based on this experience, we developed two delivery models to fit your situation. Our project based model is aimed to deliver your project at a fixed price, on a specificied date and exactly as you set out in your specifications. Our "dedicated team" delivery model provides you with the capacity you need. We can dedicate one full time developer to your projects or we can build a team of developers.
Project delivery model (fixed price): Bridge has done many fixed price projects during the past few years. We use a proven delivery model to ensure that your projects are always delivered in time and according to your requirements. We believe that the most effective projects start with very clear specifications. And the next element is the understanding of the specifications by us; if we do not understand something, we will ask what you mean. Simple as that. In general, all projects work smooth if the customer (you) writes the complete specifications. In this way we ensure that the communication line from the end customer to us is as short as possible. We will evaluate your specifications and open a dialogue about the aspects that are not clear. If you need input from us for certain parts of the project, we can advise the best solution and add such solution into the specifications. The delivery model consists of the following chronological steps: 1. You send us the specifications of your project 2. We analyse the specifications and if needed, we send you our list of questions 3. Based on your answers, we complete the specifications 4. We make an estimate in hours for your project and a fixed price 5. You accept this estimate and sign the offer together with the specifications’ version 6. We provide you with a planning, possibly with milestones (usually we work with a beta delivery (functional test) + a final delivery (finishing test)) 7. After each milestone, we require your testing-report within the period agreed in the planning 8. After the final delivery, we need your official acceptance, the project is closed and we look forward to your next project
Dedicated team: Bridge provides clients also with full time staff, using our proven delivery model. In this model, you hire a full time developer for a period of minimum 6 months. The aim is to make the developer part of your team, working under your direct supervision. All tasks, planning, testing, controlling is done straight by you. If your team grows, we can assign a project manager that supervises the developers. The main advantage of this model is that the developers learn your systems, learn your requirements, learn what is important to you. And you learn what the developer is good at and what you can expect from him. On the longer term, this makes a very efficient cooperation. Another advantage is that we can charge you a very good price. We can recruit developers according to the profiles that you wish; we can build a team that fits your requirements. In the longer term, we are open to discuss the establishment of a joint venture with you in Odessa, so you have your own captive centre that is operationally managed by us.
