For tech consulting companies, service providers, agencies, and so on, deciding to go down the path of IT software outsourcing is a strategy geared towards saving costs but not compromising quality. Unfortunately, there is still a caveat as finding a reliable, adaptable, and flexible outsourcing partner – one that fits pre-existing processes without overlapping – is a huge challenge.
As a result, some companies look towards implementing an efficient and simple BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) model in software outsourcing. This enables partners to manage and build an outsourced unit.
Build Operate Transfer Model In Software Outsourcing
The software outsourcing build operate transfer (BOT) model is defined by Gartner* as “a contractual relationship in which an organization hires a service provider to set up, optimize and run an IT or business process service delivery operation with the contractually stipulated intent of transferring the operation to the organization as a captive center. BOT, as a hybrid model, combines elements of the “build” option (that is, “insourcing” or captive center) and the “buy” option (that is, outsourcing).”
Build
Based on your needs and requirements we source candidates from our extensive talent pool. You make the final decision about the team structure and vet each engineer while we build your development center from the ground up.
- We leverage our reliable pool of talent to set up your first team.
- Your core team consists of our trusted long-term staff.
- They work in a state-of-the-art dedicated office space based on your needs and budget.
- We set this up under a new legal entity, so it can align with your operational processes and company structure.
Operate
We professionally manage and operate your software development center to the highest standards so that you can focus on your technological road-map and core business activities.
- We scale your center by recruiting and onboarding talents who meet your expectations and fit your work culture. You have the freedom to vet and approve every hire.
- We manage the operation of your center so you’re free to focus on your main business activities or we can support a more independent approach if you prefer.
- You have a direct say on costs and processes at all times.
Transfer
When the time is right you can decide to acquire the legal ownership of the entire development center with its office, equipment, engineering staff such as Development Managers, Software Engineers and Product Owners but also all the existing operational and support staff so as to be fully autonomous straight away.
- At the end of the contract period, you can decide to acquire 100% ownership of a fully operational and autonomous development center.
- You benefit from owning and operating fully integrated teams which are already experienced in running the daily operations of your development center.
- We keep running your center if you choose. We only transfer once you’re ready, and satisfied that we meet your targets of quality and productivity.
Benefits of B.O.T Model
1. High-performing, scalable software development teams
We relieve the pain of setting up a new company and learning the ins and outs of a foreign country, while allowing you to be immediately operational. We build high-performing, scalable software development teams which are fully integrated into your daily work. Discover the advantages in detail.
2. Minimizing Risk
We’re highly experienced in all aspects of setting up and operating successful software development centers in Vietnam. Our local teams manage the legal, administrative and hiring processes. We use trusted local suppliers to set up the infrastructure for your dedicated office.
3. Attracting and Retaining Best Talents
Sought-after developers are attracted to the B.O.T model because it offers long-term career opportunities in an international environment and the potential to become the future employee of a company investing in the country. Advanced training programs and the chance to travel to other offices contribute to our strong retention rate.
4. Agile R&D Capabilities
It can operate as an R&D center to innovate, test and deliver new products, services and features, so you can stay ahead of your competition. Our B.O.T structures and processes are a combination of your requirements and our best practices.
5. Retain and Control your Intellectual Property
The development teams only use tools, processes and accounts which you provide or approve. You have full control over your data and IP. After the transfer phase, the B.O.T becomes your own subsidiary and all proprietary information remains within your organization.
6. Gaining a Larger and Diversified Global Footprint
In a global landscape where economies and challenges are constantly evolving you can expand your global footprint and diversify your investments while minimizing your risks across different geographies. Setting up a B.O.T in Vietnam will also allow you to benefit from extended timezone coverage.
7. High Employee Engagement
We onboard our teams with your vision and strategy from the get-go, integrate them into your daily work and partner with you to build an international work environment that also reflects your company culture and values. This helps to build teams with a high sense of ownership and increased performance.
Final Word
Through the hybrid combination of local and global experts (through Delivery Centers), unified tools, processes and state-of-the-art technologies, we answer your expectations in terms of business value, costs, quality and innovation.
Whether you need to augment your product team with seasoned experts, or require local/remote/hybrid product teams for scalability and cost-efficiency, our Delivery Centers enable us to provide you with the right mix of services.
