Highly Skilled Off-Shore Development and QA Team Services
Business Objective
One Network based in Dallas provides planning, execution, and business intelligence applications built on a federated cloud computing platform. Committed to embrace, not replace, existing technology, One Network enables companies to achieve unprecedented visibility and collaboration that supports synchronised end-to-end business processes, improved insight, and better decision-making.
Customer Challenge
One Network needed to cleverly blend local development management with off-shore development in order to get the most cost efficient and game changing solution into the market. To accomplish this, the Dallas organisation needed to drive the entire product life cycle for the cloud platform and core application design, development, QA and deployment. Within these product milestones there are many non-core development activities that consume time and resources. These non-core areas are ideal for off-shoring to the right organisation; one that can closely collaborate with One Network on its core application deliverables:
- Custom user interface development
- Non-core domain functionality or customer-specific extension
- Business processes and workflows
- Reporting
- Integration
- Certain QA activities
