Modes of operation
Availinnovations offers
two basic types of cooperation models during project implementation:
Fixed Price / Fixed Date Scenario
This is the project-oriented scheme of collaboration. Availinnovations
's expertise allows the company to execute complete software
engineering life-cycles, from the Project Vision (or Business
Requirements) to the customer's implementation of solutions.
Also, we provide corresponding training and maintenance during
this period. Thus, information on the project's budget and
time frames is available before the project starts.
Usually the customer is asked to fill in
a Request for Quotation form, providing a detailed project
description. An assigned Availinnovations project manager
elaborates and clarifies project details with the customer
by phone and/or e-mail. In some cases, when the customer is
not able to create a complete specification for the project
(due to lack of time, etc) the Availinnovations project manager
will create the specification by interacting with the customer
(by sending to the Customer questions and proposals).
Upon completing a specification that is agreeable
to both sides, Availinnovations specialists will provide the
project implementation plans and estimates (the required budget
and timetable). When the customer agrees to the created project
estimate and working plan, the project implementation phase
will begin.
The Project Implementation Phase requires
minimal attention from a client. During product development
the customer receives Project Status Reports on a weekly basis
(daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly upon request.) In accordance
with the milestones/timetable, Availinnovations provides the
customer with incremental deliveries, final delivery, and
the warranty period.
The principal benefit of this approach is
the minimal involvement of the client in the software development
process allowing them to save their resources. ISO certified
procedures and the presence of the independent Testing department
and the Quality Assurance department guarantees service quality
and reliability.
Time and Material Scenario
This is the scheme of collaboration in which Availinnovations
's software development, design, and testing staff work as
a virtual extension of the customer's team. In other words,
we provide the client with a fixed work resource for a fixed
payment. Usually the client will assign tasks to be fulfilled
by the resources we provide. As a rule, the customer receives
a regular report on the work being done. We pride ourselves
on the fact that our excellent professional level as well
as the necessary quality level is still maintained.
This approach is preferable for relatively
large projects with continuously changing specifications,
and for projects that require project management from the
client's team.
