The second-tier Project Execution Center is stationed Offshore at the client side. The Offshore center includes a development team also headed by a Project Manager. The Project Execution team is involved in:

• Detailed design
• Construction
• Testing
• Documentation

The QA Division and Testing Laboratory includes:

• Test Planning
• Test Cases and Test Scripts creation
• Automated and Manual Functional Testing
• Regression Testing
• Test Results Reporting
• Performance Testing
• Bottlenecks Analysis

The offsite team does most of the design and deployment while the Offshore team does development & testing.

Onsite/Offshore Models

Where the nature of the project involves intense collaboration or interaction on a continual basis or there is a customer specific requirement, an onsite presence is maintained.

The onsite manager works from the customer site and coordinates project related aspects with the Offshore Development Center (ODC) and the customer. This onsite presence may involve a single resource or an entire project services team, depending on the nature, size, and complexity of the development initiative. The important features of this approach are:

• The approach requires an onsite coordinator or an onsite project manager.
• The onsite component may include one or more resources depending upon the size and complexity of the project.
• A considerable amount of the work effort can be transitioned to the Offshore facility. That transition can result in a significant cost benefit to the customer.
