Outsourcing to Promatics Technology
Outsourcing is cost-effective, helps lower
development costs to & enhances
competition
Software outsourcing is highly promising for business organizations that are looking to gain a competitive advantage by working with tech talents across the globe.
Dedicated Engagement Types
A dedicated development center at Promatics is a contractual engagement model built around team productivity optimization in exclusive, long-term outsourcing relationships.
Both Agile and Waterfall are two different schools of thought in the project management world. The right project execution process, whether it’s Waterfall or Agile depend on the context of your project. Like we always say-Every project is unique and requires a different treatment altogether.
Waterfall Method
For Constrained Budget
Very clear scope and stable set of requirements that isn't likely to change throughout the project
Agile Scrum
For Evolving Scope/Hired Team
The scope is defined very briefly and the requirements are very likely to change throughout the project
How to Engage?
Outsourcing may provide a firm with numerous advantages and provide a wide range of good results, but only if the process is properly carried out. There are, of course, usual hazards in every new configuration, but you are well aware of them. In minimizing risk, an enterprise is able to take advantage of about 40% of all the benefits given by bespoke software development outsourcing. Here are some ideas on how to deal with your externalization.
There are certain ways for businesses to outsource their software projects to vendors across the globe, where the development centers can reside on-shore, offshore, and near-shore. Let’s consider in details as follow:
Onshore Software Outsourcing
Onshore outsourcing refers to the act of customer companies working with development teams of software companies that are located in the same country. The advantage of onshore outsourcing is that there are virtually no language barriers which makes communication much easier and eventually, making outsourcing more effective.
Offshore Software Outsourcing
Offshore outsourcing means working with development teams in other countries. This is the most cost-effective option due to low labor costs, and also online communications channels (e.g. Emails, VoIP Phones, Zoom video conferences, etc.) making it possible to effectively manage software projects remotely.
Nearshore Software Outsourcing
Nearshore outsourcing companies work with customers in the neighboring countries. It is a model of outsourcing that enables companies to delegate a software development project or business process to outsourcing companies or freelancing teams in nearby countries
Waterfall or Agile? The right
process for you!
Out of the numerous project management methodologies available, we make use of the two rather popular methodologies. The Waterfall Methodology, and The Agile Methodology. Each of these methodologies has the specific type of projects they are best used with. Identifying just the right strategy and execution model based on project characteristics is a crucial decision that our team of experts helps you make.
Engaging with Waterfall Method
The waterfall methodology is broken down into linear, sequential phases with each phase dependent on the deliverable of the previous phase of your project. The lifecycle of a project under this method can be summarised under five segments:
discovery, definition, design, development, and delivery.
Req. Definition
SRS Document
Project Planning
Dev. Planning
MilestoneSystem Design
Wireframing
Prototyping
UI / UX Design
ArchitectureCoding
APIs
Testing / QA
Debug
Change Mgmt
Additionally we take the time to plan out the various aspects of a project before execution, but things are bound to change as time goes on. ‘Change is the only constant’ thing in a project. Hence we have a system put in place to manage these changes. We measure the impact of changes on the existing scope, and calculate the time and cost that comes with the changes. Finally, we make sure we update the SRS document.
The Waterfall Process continues as it is meant to be, with Quality Assurance Process in the end to make sure our project deliverables tally with the predefined or revised scope of the project.
Use Case: The Waterfall Method
Stability
Has a very clear scope and stable set of requirements that are unlikely to change throughout the project.
Predictability
Can define clear long term milestones and can review the progress based on periodic deliverables.
Development Ready
Less time to spend with the development team due to the product owner needing to focus on the business side of the venture.
Strict Budget
Constrained budget with critical features that cannot be compromised.
Engaging with Agile SCRUM Method
The SCRUM methodology is an implementation of the Agile project management approach that requires continuous iteration of development and testing in the software development lifecycle process. Both development and testing activities are concurrent unlike the Waterfall model.
When does Agile Project Execution Model Work?
- A product requires iterative development and requires development with an integrated team.
- A product requires a faster risk mitigation strategy or a “fail-early” approach to development.
- The quality, cost and time for developing the product are important constants with flexible and varying requirements.

Use Case: The Agile SCRUM Method
Short
Team Goals
Clear short-term milestones and periodic reviews of the progress.
Iterative
Development
More time to spend with the development team by sharing clear objectives and goals so that they are always in sync with the project manager.
Feature
Inspection
Multiple iterations of a given feature and fine-tuning of the feature by inspecting all the parts.
Sprint
Planning
The client requires early and frequent opportunities to look at the product and make decisions and changes to the project.
Continuous
Reviews
The client requires early and frequent opportunities to look at the product and make decisions and changes to the project.
