In the new economy, IDS has realized that
customers are increasingly demanding the
flexibility that best serves their unique
business requirements. We provide the option
of selecting a combination of business
models /engagement models/operational models
to suit your various business needs.
Fixed Time/ Fixed Price
Our fixed time, fixed price model offers
customers a low-risk option and can be
employed when the scope and specifications
of the project are very clear. This
model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery
of projects. Deliverables, Costs and
Timelines are clearly defined in the Fixed
Time/Fixed Price model. In fixed time,
fixed-price engagements, IDS follows a
phased approach that includes scoping,
development, implementation and business
support. Combining the fixed time, fixed
price model with our solutions center, we
can offer customers a tremendous advantage
on the cost front.

Time and Materials
In this business model, IDS forms project
teams with the required team members,
project managers, equipment and
infrastructure based on project
requirements. Customers pay a monthly charge
based on the size and composition of the
team. This model offers the flexibility to
balance team size and project workloads.
Most of our onsite services (unless it is
part of a fixed time, fixed price project)
are delivered using this business model. IDS
could bid for partial phases of a project on
a fixed time, fixed price basis and the
remaining parts on a time and material
basis. In such engagements, the Client has
complete flexibility in using our associates
in tasks that match their area of expertise.
IDS provide knowledgeable, skilled,
motivated, energetic and competent
consultants who work seamlessly as part of
client teams to provide quality solutions.
Our consultants are handpicked after
assessing their technical, communication and
interpersonal skills. We keep our
consultants on the cutting edge of
information technology by providing them
with ongoing advanced training and
skill-building workshops.

BOT Extension to Dedicated Development
Center model
Considering some client’s specific needs,
IDS also offers option of converting
Offshore Development Center model engagement
into BOT model after two years or mutually
agreed of completion of IDS Dedicated
Development Center engagement duration
without any additional transfer fees.
In case of need to early (less than two
years or an agreed upon period of time) transfer to
client, IDS does charge predefined transfer
fees to client. It is normally calculated on
basis of revenue earned from Client.
The selection of a Development
/Engagement model can be a complex one. It
can include issues such as establishing new
communications infrastructure, managing
cultural interfacing, and non-traditional
risks. Choosing the correct model can make
the difference between a highly successful,
cost-effective implementation and a
potentially large waste of resources.
Helping you make this decision effectively
is a value-adding consultative service we
provide and to which we are well suited.
Please contact
us to discuss your project parameters
and the applicability of the various models.
