2) Time and Material Outsourcing:
It's one of the approaches SolovatSoft can propose to use because there may be some
additional change requests made in the middle of the project that can result in the budget
overrun and project delay. Also this "Time and Material" approach is the best when our potential
client wants to start development right away but has not created a whole suite of project
requirements documentation.

Typically our US Project managers spend more time managing the contract to ensure our
customer is getting the appropriate value for the time they are paying.
This is the best approach to start saving right now!

3) The Dedicated Development Team Methodology

Our well-defined, 6-step methodology has been evolved based on our development experience of
numerous Offshore projects. This approach applies offshore and onsite implementations.

Step 1. Project Team Creation.

- Scope Agreement sign off.

- Need to identify key team members for project.

Step 2. Onsite to Offshore Knowledge Transition.

The main goal for this phase is to understand the client requirements, business processes,
company standards, the specific systems IT environment as well as the approach that will be used.
It's a huge learning curve.

Step 3. Offshore Process Definition.

Perform customization of the methodology for the client specific requirements.

Step 4. Offshore Simulation.

-Simulate client IT environment at offshore development Center.

- Reveiw and confirm the Service Level Agreements.
- Build the Offshore Infrastructure (IT, software and physical).
- Set up the offshore team.
- Metric-defined training of the Offshore Development team.
Step 5. Offshore Project Execution.

Start executing project according to the project plan for the first 6 month period.

Step 6.Review the project deliverables and identify the weak areas of the implementation.

- Implement the feedback.

- Have the first year Service Agreement review.
