Servion believes that the following factors are critical to establish a successful Software Development Center:
|
| • |
Skills sets - In order to set up a successful software development lab, skill sets in products/ platforms and technology are required |
| • |
People - A pool of trained resources that can be deployed immediately need to be at hand |
| • |
Management - An ecosystem of experienced managers who understand the processes and have project and relationship management skills to ensure that the right projects are moved at the right time are a necessary addition to any outsourced development endeavor |
| • |
Processes - Disciplined project management and product development processes are required |
| • |
Infrastructure - Infrastructure needs to be readily available and the organization needs financial strength to create and augment the existing facilities |
| • |
Flexibility - The organization needs to look at different business/ commercial models (time and material/ build and operate/ build, operate, and transfer) and respond quickly to market needs |
| • |
Experience - Experience of having handled prior development work and delivered to the expectations of customers is necessary |
