Process
The client approaches GCS with specific requirements for resources. GCS identifies and screens the resources and the details of the same are provided to the client for further screening. The client in turn evaluates these details and interviews the resources. The selected resources are engaged by the client. A fixed price or a time and material model can be adopted to engage the resources. The resources allocated to the client will work on the assignments of the client organization and will report to the assigned authority. A mutually conducive communication protocol is agreed upon for reporting to the client. GCS will play an active role in providing the needed infrastructure and support for successful completion of any given venture or need.

Applicability

Build, Operate, Transfer 

Concept
This model involves taking advantage of the experience of GCS to set up an offshore facility for you and help you operate and own this entity. This model is built on the following tenets


Build
Set-up the facility and infrastructure, staff the offshore development facility (ODF), and establish knowledge transfer.

Operate
Manage the offshore organization: Program Management, Development, QA, maintenance, enhancements, and product support.

Transfer
Register a new offshore subsidiary for the customer, transfer assets, and handover operations.

Applicability
This model is perfectly suitable to organizations that are planning to setup an offshore development facility in India and would like to leverage the strengths of existing software organizations in helping them in the process. This model obviates the need for organizations to get acclimatized with local issues in setting up an offshore development facility.

Process
GCS will solicit information regarding the size, complexity, technology and infrastructural needs of the operation. This information is evaluated and analyzed to decide the composition of the team and assets. GCS will also identify the physical assets needed in setting up the facility. GCS consulting will source the needed skilled personnel required to initiate the operations. GCS and the upcoming offshore facility will work in tight coordination to setup processes, methodologies and quality standards to enable a quick transition and faster turnaround times. GCS will handhold the fledgling facility till it takes flight. The pricing aspects of this venture is dependent on the scale of operations being planned, physical infrastructure, resource needs and the duration and levels of support that need to be provided by GCS. The shear complexity of the model has prompted us to place experienced and senior professionals to manage your enquiries and the subsequent process involved.

Benefits
The biggest advantage with this model is that it helps organizations set up offshore development centers in India in a quick and structured fashion while minimizing the risks associated with such initiatives. This model allows organizations to stay focused on their core activities and a fully operational development center that suits its needs is built in the background with all the attended legal and statutory needs. At the same time, this model provides the needed transparency to minimize expectations mismatch and keeps you abreast of the mode and means through which it is being built and transitioned.

Joint Venture 

Concept
Joint Venture Relationship as a concept and phenomenon is aimed strictly at leveraging strengths of the partners involved to create a new organization that provides the cumulative strength of all the involved stakeholders. These relationships empower organizations to foray into new business realms and also achieve deeper and wider penetration in existing realms of operation.

Beauty 
Joint ventures are brought into existence to meet the changing times, markets, expectations of customers, emerging technologies and growing costs. This scenario is more dramatic in the software domain as needs, technologies and cost structures evolve at a rapid pace. It becomes highly impossible for all organizations to mold and adapt themselves commensurately to the speed at which market dynamics evolve and change.

GCS understands the critical need of enhancing value through strategic relationships. GCS is keen on developing relationships that open new vistas of markets, make optimal use of our comprehensive services by complementing and leveraging strengths of like minded organizations and partners to create a new brand identity.
