Impetus practices a unique engagement model referred
to as the
WhiteBox
Engagement Model. A WhiteBox model offers 100% transparency
and visibility into the offshore team to our clients. This
model has helped us create a virtual extension to our clients'
engineering and test teams. Our offshore teams operate in
a way similar to our clients' local organization and provide
visibility to the extent desired.
As regards various modes of working, we offer our clients
different options depending upon the nature of relationship,
the complexity of the work, client comfort factor and
other such parameters.
Onsite + Offshore
This model involves having one or more engineers working
onsite at the client site. These onsite engineers are individual
contributors and also act as a liaison between client's
in-house engineering team and Impetus' offshore engineers.
100% offshore
In such an engagement model, the entire team is based out
of Impetus' offshore location. The client designates one
senior staff member as the main point of contact for the
offshore team. This person serves as a client Project Manager
for the group and is responsible for coordinating day to
day offshore task assignments.
Hybrid of Onsite + Offshore
This is an extension of the 100% offshore model
with an exception that most of the offshore team members
get a chance to visit the client's offices and interact
with the product management, development and QA teams.
