Delivery Engagement Model
With the rapid emergence of Outsourcing IT projects and solutions in the global market that countenances soaring competition, it becomes obligatory for every organization to meet the client’s requirement at the most cost effective rate. IT staffing company CentiPlex is a leading provider of staff augmentation solutions. IT staffing consultant provides technical staffing solutions, strategic IT staffing, IT consultancy services and IT staffing solutions.
Open Source Department implements the solution without compromising quality standards through three engagement models – Fixed duration and cost, T&M and FTE. It becomes crucial for the client to opt for an engagement model that best suits their requirement and is the perfect blend of expenses and returns.
Fixed duration and cost
The model is usually opted when the projects are time bound with fixed budgets.
Best suited for:
• Business to customer (B2C) projects.
• Projects where requirements are well quoted in advance and are not likely to change during development process.
• Small to mid-sized projects that are extremely tight budgeted and have time constraints.
Time and materials (T&M)
These are projects that are contracted and owed on the basis of hours spent and resources deployed for implementing each task involved. The model provides flexibility to the client in terms of developing the specifications time to time as per the market needs. To ensure authenticity and cross verification, reports detailing the number of hours spent for each task within a project are sent to clients.
Best suited for:
• Projects those are prone to specification and design changes midstream.
• Where anticipated duration of projects cannot be estimated.
• Clients that want to spend defined number of hours with us, need not be incessant.
• Clients whose requirements are cyclic and want to retain us as their preferred solution partner.
• Clients hunting for right solution rather than on time.
FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS (FTE)
It is a kind of virtual staffing or staff augmentation where in the personnel hired by us as per the client requirement are solely dedicated to their project. Open source Department meets the interim resource requirement and acquire highly qualified and specialized personnel at optimum cost. Personnel taken into service can be project manager, software developer, tester, analysts or consultants. Resources deployed at client’s site are referred as onsite FTE and FTE resources working from our development center are referred as offshore FTE.
Offshore FTE best suited for:
• Clients requiring to extend their staff at our development center and making the best use of our billing rates.
• Clients who want to avoid the hassle of hiring or recruiting short term personnel.
• Clients require the intellectual copyright of the work done by the FTE resource.
• Clients who want FTE’s to work and report according to their methodologies.
• Projects where continuous changes and enhancements are anticipated as per the market trend.
• The development that requires our personnel to have expertise in a domain.
• The clients IT personnel are likely to work in conjunction with our FTE resources.
Onsite FTE best suited for
• The projects where FTE resources are required to consult local personnel for gathering required information in the shortest time frame.
•The nature of the project does not allow secure data to leave the premises.
• The client who feels that some sort of training needs to be imparted to FTE resources regarding their system and processes for successful implementation of the software solution.
• The project wherein the interaction of more IT personnel is required to work in conjunction with less FTE resources.

Project Management
The project management methodology followed at CentiPlex ensures that the goals and objectives of the solution are fully met. Transparent communication, strong planning and clear understanding of the requirements help in making a project a success.
Project Management is most crucial part of any project with the success or failure or a project largely dependent on it. A successful project manager need not always deliver a successful project which is why it is extremely important to keep in mind certain parameters while assigning a project manager to a project. At CentiPlex a project manager is assigned to a specific project based on the project domain, complexity and relevant experience of the project manager. A project manager acts as a facilitator between the client and the development team and in most cases is the single point of contact for the client. CentiPlex offers the services of two types of project managers:
•Onsite/Local: Onsite/Local project managers work with client liaison(s) locally through the project lifecycle.
•Offshore/Remote: Offshore/Remote project managers works remotely for a client.
The responsibilities of the project manager include the following:
Defining the processes that will be followed in the development and implementation of the project. The process may vary from the standards to provide the maximum time and cost benefit to the client.
Laying down the communication channel that is to be used for the duration of the project. The project manager can suggest various modes of communication such as instant messengers, conference calls, web conferences (such as GoToMeeting) etc.
Identifying the project team who will be working on the project. Tasks are assigned to the team members and the project managers carry out weekly reviews to track the progress. This ensures that the project timelines and budget are met. At CentiPlex our project managers make use of the Microsoft Project to plan and track projects.
Defining milestones for client demos and deliveries; this is done keeping in mind the client’s requirements and the terms of contract. In consultation with the client, the project manager decides upon the date and mode for the demo.
Informing the client of any deviation from the original scope of work. We have in place a change control mechanism which allows a project manager to track deviations and alert the client of any cost and time impact. A change request is sent to client for approval. Once approved, the project manager updates the project plan and other relevant documents.
A project manager heads the project and is responsible for its successful and timely delivery. We have in place an escalation matrix that can be used by clients to escalate any problem or provide feedback to CentiPlex’s top management.
