Offshoring Models
To ensure you get precisely what you envisioned, you must first define your requirements clearly. When your goals and expectations are well-outlined, it eliminates confusion and keeps the entire process aligned with your vision. Clear requirements also speed up decision-making and help deliver a final result that truly matches your needs.

Fixed Price Model
Build — Operate — Transfer (BOT)
This model includes three main phases: build, operate, and transfer. The build phase covers all research and development activities as well as resource acquisition. The service provider manages everything—from headcount planning and candidate screening to hiring, training, onboarding, and setting up the required infrastructure. Throughout the process, the client maintains full authority over operations. To ensure you receive the best product in the market, Openxcell also allows you to define the organizational hierarchy according to your preferences.
The operation phase marks the start of the development process, which includes coding, product improvements, management, maintenance, and support. During this stage, technical and marketing consultations are provided, along with ongoing payroll management and HR activities.

Hourly / Time & Material
The time and material model is ideal for clients handling long-term projects with evolving requirements and an undefined scope. Because workloads can shift frequently, this approach offers significant flexibility to modify project specifications at any stage, giving the client substantial control over the process. As needs change, the team size and resources can be adjusted accordingly, helping optimize both time and costs while maintaining efficiency.
Advantages
- This model is well-suited for large, long-term projects where the final outcome may not be clearly defined from the start.
- It presents a low-risk approach for both clients and service providers.
- The budget is typically flexible, reducing the chances of major setbacks or project failure.
- Clients maintain strong control over the project and can request on-demand enhancements throughout the development process.
Drawbacks
- The project timeline is flexible, with no fixed completion date.
- The estimated budget may differ from the final cost due to unexpected changes that influence development expenses.
- The client retains the ability to request modifications and actively oversee the development process.
- Deadlines are not predetermined, and any feature additions can extend the product’s time-to-market.
- The budget remains uncertain, as pricing depends on the amount of time needed to design and implement features.
- Product owners are responsible for managing every iteration along with the overall development workflow.
- The client may lose access to the development team and the accumulated project knowledge.
Fixed Price Model
Advantages
- Well-suited for small to mid-sized projects where the requirements and deliverables are clearly defined from the beginning.
- Both cost and timeline are established upfront before development starts.
- The client only needs minimal oversight, as the service provider manages the entire development process and deliverables.
- There is a low financial risk since payment terms are predetermined and transparent.
Drawbacks
- Requires extensive planning and detailed documentation for every stage and requirement.
- Prioritizes delivering the predefined scope rather than improving the product’s overall quality.
- Carries a high risk of producing a solution that may not align with market needs.
- Making changes during or after development is challenging once the project is underway.
- Offers limited flexibility when it comes to adding new features or handling change requests.
- Provides the client with minimal control, as the development team manages the entire process end to end.
