Methodologies
 
 

Our engagement into a new relationship is defined by a very systematic and scientific approach

Our engagement cycle is a flexible mix of several onsite and offshore activities that define the steps for each phase of the outsourced solution cycle.

The four key phases in the engagement cycle

Discovery - Primary analysis

Discovery is an in-house methodology to derive the primary analysis of offshore elements of the outsourced solution and their feasibilities. Activities in the discovery phase are usually conducted onsite. The duration of this phase is usually 4 weeks for objective assessment unless there are some specific client requirements. This phase gives our program managers and process analysts a chance to understand client business model and objectives. A business case is developed that clearly defines all the factors, service delivery, goals, dependencies, etc., related to the outsourced solution.

Transition – Knowledge transfer and documentation 

This phase is partially onsite. The current business process of the client is understood by our business analysts and documented. Knowledge transfer and process transfer plans are created along with timelines and key performance metrics. This is a critical phase as our analysts identify gaps that might be present in the current process or that might occur during offshore operations. Resolution plans for those gaps are also made.

Parallel run – Process stabilization

To minimize risk for the client venturing into an offshore engagement we slowly ramp-up the offshore team while ramping-down the onsite team. For some time both the teams work synergistically so that our agents and managers can understand the way our client’s company runs its process. This extra time gives an edge to our team and the end users will experience a smooth transition.

Operations – SLA management and delivery

We understand the importance of information, During this stage all the work gets shifted to offshore. At this time our managers take complete ownership of the process and take proactive steps to improve it, increase quality and productivity and reduce wastage of time and resources. Performance metrics are defined and measured periodically, teams are trained, issues are rectified, and reports are created and analyzed for overall streamlining of the process. All tasks are performed as per the identified service levels and the client will have complete visibility of the entire outsourced solution.
