Software outsourcing models
The outsourcing software development process involves more than simply paying a third-party vendor to code something for you. In fact, the development begins with the selection of an outsourcing model.
DBS provides three main options of outsourcing;
- Time and material (T&M)
- Fixed price (FT)
- Dedicated team.
- Time and material
Using time and material, the client pays for the time spent exclusively on the development. This model is best suited for small or medium projects without predetermined requirements. It is also ideal for projects that require only limited resources.
Fixed Price
The fixed-priced model assumes that both parties agree in advance on the specifications, project scope, and of course, the price, hence the name. Since modifications are not an option, this model works best for small projects. Fixed price is a perfect solution when you are testing the waters with a new software development vendor.
Dedicated Team
With the dedicated team model, throughout the project, the client pays a fixed monthly salary to the hired specialists in addition to administrative costs. This collaboration type is well-suited for long-term projects with vague requirements and large in-house projects when the client’s staff lacks specific expertise.
Reference Cases
In 2021, we had one typical example when we implemented and provided off-shoring services to Flex i.o a South African based technology firm. The implementation was successful and we had 10 resources allocated to develop an Assessment Application which was a successful project. We adopted a recruit, train and deploy model which was effective.
In addition, DBS is also providing SAP Business One support services to a client also based in South Africa called Vulcan Workwear.
Skill source
Furthermore, DBS focuses on building strong market networks and talent pipeline for the future. Passive talent is identified in areas where the organisation anticipates needing new resources over the next 12 to 36 months.
To add, yearly, the organisation recruits and trains graduate trainees and students on attachments. The teams go through a structured training programme that runs for a year which helps develop and retain future talent for the business.
