Management

As an outsourced offshore development provider, we understand that we have to constantly innovate and in order to remain competitive, so we always seek new ways to contribute to our clients’ success by researching new technologies and skills, enhancing our processes, and strengthening our resource base in our development locations.

How We Work For You - In Partnership!

Once engaged, we utilise collaboration technologies to become a virtual but temporary extension of your company. This frictionless two-way flow of communication helps to create teamwork and speed decision making loops. Our onshore teams have vast experience of managing projects with our own offshore teams.

The local connections are there to inform, facilitate and action the issues that arise in any project or development. We like praise! Therefore we are always looking to finish our projects on a high note and add a quote to our website that validates our work.

The key advantages of you working with Xenolitica are:

• Responsibility
• Customer Contact
• Security
• Control

Collaborative approach

We take a highly consultative, collaborative approach, looking at each engagement individually and aiming for the best possible understanding of clients’ problems. Initially, our international account team will act as a user-friendly interface onto our offshore delivery facilities.

However, eventually we want your in-house development teams to be able to work closely with and communicate directly to each and every member of the offshore team, as this promotes knowledge sharing as we strive to work hard to establish transparent communication between the onshore and offshore parts of your team.

Process and engagement model

Based on the nature and the time-frame of any given project, we will make our recommendations for development methodology and process, balancing rigorous control frameworks with the speed and productivity of Agile methods such as XP and Scrum.

We will work with you to set up metrics, controls and procedures to ensure the highest degree of transparency, so that your offshore project never “goes dark” on you.

We will also work with you to determine what engagement model will suit your needs best in any particular case and recommend the appropriate model.

Project setup

We are able to respond in a highly flexible manner to your infrastructure, connectivity or security needs. For each project, our engineers and analysts will identify any additional services that may help the client best achieve their objectives for example the need for specific expertise, IT infrastructure, and re-used components and tools.

We will select the Architects, Project and Program Managers for the core team, and jointly develop the staffing plan with you to ramp up your project team over time to ensure successful delivery against your time frames.

Offshore delivery and on-site management

Complementing our strong nearshore/offshore delivery model, we can meet specific requirements for on-site work. We will put our experienced engineers, analysts and project managers close to the client’s in-house team to ensure smooth knowledge transfer and close collaboration.

We will also assist clients in deployment of our solutions by providing consultants to client or client customer sites for training and post-delivery knowledge transfer.

Management Tools

All of our clients are able to track the progress of their projects, or results of testing, through the use of online management tools, such as CVS, SVN, MKS Source Integrity, Borland, Team Source, XPlanner, Bugzilla, etc.

In essence we provide a window on our progress for our client's peace of mind.

Dedicated Development Servers

When commencing a new project, we allocate to you a secure dedicated development server where all source code, documentation and other materials are stored, we also use this method when we are testing your existing software, and providing you with the finished source code. All data transfer and storage is encrypted to at least 128bit.

We also offer dedicated server hosting for your on demand solutions as a service. We would be happy to provide details at the point of project quotation.
