Everybody who is associated with technology knows globalization is having a dramatic impact. It is altering the way in which IT businesses are conducted in large and small companies in both the United States and Europe. The trend towards offshore outsourcing, on the rise both in quantity and intensity since the late 1990s, has now gathered significant momentum.

An Offshore Development Center (ODC) in India is a proven approach to offshore outsourcing. It extends development abilities by assigning inexpensive, scalable, and highly skilled technical resources to support development cycles. It requires strategy, leadership, and a compelling vision to make offshore outsourcing a winning proposition. Our ODC solutions optimize cost and quality for critical IT initiatives.

Part of Mindteck's winning ODC proposition is our global delivery model. We truly believe that it is necessary to look at all logical components in IT outsourcing and perform them in the geography where they deliver maximum value to customers. Our global delivery model provides value in terms of multi-site development facilities, access to local talent, proven process and methodologies, highest quality, thereby ensuing lowest TCO.

As part of our global delivery, we offer models that include total onsite teams. These teams work either at the customer locations or in our development centers in the same geographies. We also provide the more cost-effective and high value onsite/offshore model with development teams in India.

Our offshore development centers offer two operating models. Each option has its benefits in terms of cost advantage and tradeoffs in terms of setup time and ownership.

Mindteck managed ODC: Ideal for first time outsourcers and veterans, this option offers minimum setup time with complete responsibility on Mindteck to deliver total solutions. The ODC team works closely with customer's information systems, sales, product management, marketing and executive teams to deliver solutions according to their requirements.

Customer managed ODC: In this model, the team at Mindteck works as an absolute extension of customer's information systems team. While Mindteck manages day-to-day operations, the customer is in direct control of the team and is responsible for its delivery.

The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) option can be added to both of the above models to convert the ODC into a fully owned subsidiary of the customer at any point in time.
