Onsite, Offsite and Offshore - Each of the options offers different merits and fit different scenarios. In most cases, project plans can be optimized by utilizing Espire resources in a combination of delivery models. Under the Hybrid Delivery Model, the project is distributed between our onsite center and the offshore development center. This gives our clients the advantage of both types of outsourcing models.

Very often it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed Price basis and at the same time deploy resources on a Time and Materials Pricing basis. We call this the hybrid model. Adopting such a model enables the client to maximize their budgets without compromising any aspect of the project itself.

Using the Hybrid delivery model has three distinct advantages: cost savings, productivity improvements and quality enhancements. Cost reduction has been the primary driver for companies seeking IT services off-shore. However, if an off-shore vendor is not chosen carefully, the cost savings can quickly diminish.

Client Benefits:

• Variable cost structures available
• Flexible and scalable
• Optimized costs
• Project Management including documentation
• Quality technical resources
• Proven methodology

24/7 hour work cycles and the structuring of teams with diverse, multiple skill sets are the proven benefits of this model. Costs for resources are fairly lower and the ability to quickly scale (up or down) depending on the requirements are the other benefits which compel clients to choose this model.

Advantages of Hybrid Delivery Model:

• Direct dealings with the client: No possibility of communication gap exists as the onsite center facilitates direct interaction with the client. A better picture of the client requirements is presented to the service provider.
• 24/7 productivity: The best possible usage of the time-zone difference provides round the clock work.
• Access to the best resources: The offshore development center gives the client access to the best technology and skilled manpower
• Great cost benefits: Comparatively cheaper resources available at the offshore development center results in huge cost-savings.
• Best possible management of resources: Usage efficiency of resources is highest with this model.

It is one of the most successful and popular outsourcing models employed today by many companies. We adopt this model when the project requires high client interaction and when time and money is of greater importance to our clients.
