Customers can rely on a blended delivery team model by selecting a Dual Shore software development and maintenance solution. A U.S. engineer works closely with customers and often works onsite at the customer location and is responsible for customer communication and program management.
Offshore team members are transparent to the customer and they implement the detailed work per the direction from onshore team member(s). ArrAy will configure a combination onshore/offshore development team, and this approach is facilitated by our unique ArrAy Way methodology.
Engineers based in the U.S. and offshore closely coordinate all activities, and project status information is stored in a central Knowledge Repository that customers access through ArrAyWeb. Customers gain the benefit of easy access to onshore U.S. engineer(s) and the economic advantages of offshore engineers in China or Bangladesh. Offshore team members can work hours that overlap with U.S. working hours to enable immediate communications and seamless service delivery, and we can provide follow-the-sun engineering services via our development centers in the U.S., China and Bangladesh. All team members write and speak English.
Our blended, Dual Shore approach brings the best of both worlds to our customers. Traditional offshore body shops offer low rates for software engineering but are not known for high-productivity. In addition, time zones, language and cultural differences can get in the way of doing business. Communications is problematic, visibility is limited and managing remote resources is difficult. Conversely, onshore contractors provide a local presence with whom software product developers can communicate but they are more expensive.
ArrAy's Dual Shore approach mitigates the risks associated with typical offshore outsourcing and offsets the higher cost of U.S. talent. It marries onshore accountability, ease of management, local communication and visibility with the lower costs of offshore software engineering.
