A successful Onsite-Offshore project assignment demands experience, patience, and exquisite project management skills. Impetus has finessed the practice of managing and successfully implementing multi-site development projects with teams spread across different time zones.

Impetus believes in strict adherence to best processes, and practices of software development, deployment, and management.

We focus on rigorous system specification, and detailed project planning.

Meticulous division of work, roles, and responsibilities between the client, onsite, and offshore teams is critical for project success.

The onus of ensuring work clarity, high productivity, and efficient response from all stakeholders lies with the offshore vendor; We do not hesitate to ask questions, and get in-depth and detailed information, as and when required.

We have systems in place that ensure high visibility, and transparency into activities done offshore. These keep the client team updated, and informed.

We ensure effective, and frequent communication regarding project status, resource allocation, and technology developments, through e-mails, conference calls, weekly updates, and other well defined regular reporting procedures.

Given the time zone differences, we feel that the onsite and offshore teams require a certain amount of time overlap at a minimum. Typically the offshore team has some members working with their client counterparts, in order to provide the direct access at a time convenient to the client - this makes the offshore team easily accessible, and available, making it a virtual extension of the client's engineering team.

It is critical to escalate early enough, in case of any issues or bottlenecks during the different phases of the SDLC. This ensures that the client is equally involved, and informed at all times, and keeps the expectations in check.
