Dedicated Development & Innovation Team
If you are considering developing a Dedicated IT, R&D or Engineering team at a high-value & cost-competitive location, then you must consider InOpTra as the option. This is our unique specialty, and we have done this for decades for many international organizations. We have created successful innovation centers and teams of various sizes and capabilities- small to large, simple developmental and design change management activities to end-to-end product developments and R&D centers.
Not just cost-savings, but other important factors like agility, flexibility and capacity are also typical driving factors in these strategic decisions. Additionally, we need to ensure mutual alignment and cultural integration between the teams, to derive intended benefits.
InOpTra will shoulder the complete ownership of developing such a team or center that will provide you with guaranteed performance, success and unique values (cost, capacity & capabilities). We will develop the team or center based on your needs and expectations- team strength, growth, technology platforms, expertise levels, infrastructure needs or IP & Data Protections.
Our proven 5G-R Gear-Shift Development Model is a well thought-out rollout methodology, with phase-wise development to ensure successful development of such centers.
5G-R Gear-Shift Development Model
As in driving a car, while developing a Remote Development Team, we must use different speeds, processes and techniques in each phase of development. The planning, team composition, type of projects, communication and data management systems, coordination mechanisms, review mechanisms & frequency, KPIS & Metrics will considerably vary from phase to phase. The involvement and effort by the top management will change from phase to phase as the required management drive and oversight will differ.
InOpTra has developed a 5 stage growth model, from initiation to developing a high-maturity Center of Excellence. Each phase has defined goals, execution methodologies & templates, team ramp-up plans, risks & mitigation plans, data & communication management plans, measurable KPIs and review mechanisms.
