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.

Which Offshore Model Fits You The Best?

Build — Operate — Transfer

Hourly / Time & Material

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.

Fixed Price Model

Fixed-price offshoring is ideal for short-term projects with clearly defined and well-documented requirements. This model operates with a fixed scope, a predetermined timeline, and a set budget. When the client provides a detailed list of specifications and a stable delivery timeframe, the offshore team can estimate the schedule and cost based on the project’s complexity. Development phases are planned during initial discussions and typically follow the waterfall methodology. While this approach requires minimal client involvement, it does carry scope-related risks for both sides, as any changes to the agreed plan may lead to additional costs.
