| | | | With Creative Foundry, you receive top-quality development, faster project cycles with on-site delivery at a refreshingly affordable rate. We are the right partner for the new world economy. We can satisfy your project needs better than most because of our Unified Global Model. Today, most companies faced with the decision of partnering with a technology firm must chose either traditional onshore or offshore model for their projects. The onshore model typically means higher cost. The offshore model while offering lower cost usually means sacrificing integration of the offshore team with your own resources, limited project management and poor communication with your own team. Furthermore, both solutions are still limited to the typical 8-hour workday and 5-day workweek.
Creative Foundry’s Unified Global Model provides the best of both worlds while improving delivery schedule and without compromising quality. We provide a combination of local client facing capabilities and design in concert with our professional global resource pool. This business structure coupled with our carefully developed project management methodology, toolset and extensive experience in global software development provides a 24X7 iterative process for development. Our local team collects requirements, scope changes and provides system design and testing during normal western work time while our global development team is free to turnaround prototypes and implementation during western night time hours. This 24X7 process shortens overall schedules and is ideally suited to software development and e-business.
Our local client facing capabilities provide unmatched design, development and project management experience both from our local offices as well as on your site. We understand that there are times where there is no substitute for being in the trenches and working face to face with the client or where being in a client meeting is far better than receiving meeting minutes via email. We don’t insulate our team from yours with a sales or marketing force. The people working with you on our team are the same team members that are responsible for managing, designing and developing your software.
Many competitors utilize a team of developers that have come from disciplines irrelevant to the software development world (business, education, and liberal arts) and are not formally trained in software development techniques. They proclaim to have several years of experience developing web applications. Even worse, they proclaim to be self taught software developers. This is not the best recipe for success. Our Unified Global Model allows us to leverage our wide and diverse pool of global resources to provide a team that matches the needs of your project. Each team member comes from a formal software development discipline with a University degree relevant to software development. Our local team handpicked each developer through a careful screening process, which includes both detailed interviews and testing, to assure that they have the necessary knowledge and extensive relevant work experience for the technologies applied. A lead designer and project manager from our local offices carefully manages all team members. Utilizing this team, you are taking advantage of our experience in the technologies applied to your project utilizing best practices and industry accepted approaches. With our team, you receive the benefit of our experience without struggling through steep learning curves or making common mistakes associated with new technologies. You get up to speed fast.
