C3IT’s on site/offshore delivery model leverages the advantages of onsite presence with offshore skilled engineers to create the true value proposition for our clients.

Project Based Outsourcing Methodology:

• The Dedicated Development Team Process Methodology

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

• 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.
  • Review 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.

Our proven offshore software development process has enabled our clients to dramatically cut software development life cycle costs up to 40%.

Offshore Development Methodology

The C3IT development team adopts project methodologies based on the client's project specifications and requirements. Following are the basic popular models used by our company:

• System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• Prototype Development
• Rational Unified Process (RUP)
• Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF)
• Rapid Application Development (RAD)
• Agile Development

C3IT employs the Rational Unified Process (RUP) as its core software development methodology. RUP is an open, model-driven framework optimized for rapid business solutions delivery and ideally suited for medium to large sized software application development projects. Projects are managed within RUP framework with defined artifacts at each stage and performance evaluation metrics -

• Project management process for all distributed projects under the aegis of C3IT Global Delivery Model
• Global projects executed in a CMM framework
• Project Tracking and Oversight through performance evaluation standards, pre-defined metrics and analysis deviations.

Software Development Process

C3IT has a matured Software Development Process that conforms to IEEE/EIA processes. A detailed document on C3IT’s “Software Development Methodology” can be provided on request after a mutual Non Disclosure Agreement is signed.
