Every project starts with a menu of options when it comes to engagement models. How to engage and where staff are to be located are top considerations. We designed our engagement models to optimize resources, increase development speed, ensure quality, and provide high-value results. Whether you want to incorporate a few development resources into your in-house team, have us manage the development of your product from concept to production to enhancement, or take advantage of a blended onshore-nearshore model, we have the expertise and resources you need to accelerate business growth and deliver world-class solutions. Every project is a little unique and requires just the right mix of resources, oversight, and communication for success. At QAT Global, we offer three types of engagement models to deliver the best solution for your project. Software Development Team Quickly extend your own development team to help bring new, quality software products to market quickly and cost-effectively with our Software Development Team engagement model. Software Development Lab Extends or creates software development capacity support for a single product or entire product line and drives innovation with our Software Development Lab engagement model. IT Staffing Services Looking to simply add one or more resources to your onsite team? Our IT Staffing services are perfect for quickly adding one or more onsite or remote resources to augment an existing team. Download the Quick Sheet Building Your Dream Team of Technical Resources In developing a unique solution for your company, we consider cost, complexity, infrastructure, resource requirements, testing, and maintenance and then suggest the most optimal team. Selecting the best engagement model often depends on the availability of resources with the right skills and experience. Distributed development, also known as cross sourcing, enables us to build project teams with individuals who bring the best skills and experience for the project, rather than being limited to individuals who are available in a certain location. It also enables us to optimize your budget by selecting resources who offer the best value for their rate. When a project requires the team to have a single location, we offer the options of using our offshore development center in Brazil, offshore development center in Costa Rica, or US rural sourcing development center in Omaha, NE, in addition to onsite. Resources can be located in any of these five places, depending on requirements and budget.

At QAT Global, we have instituted living best practices for our distributed development engagement models that deliver on each of these critical factors, helping clients reduce time to market, deliver quality software, and improve communications between business and IT stakeholders. Our unique, repeatable development methodology, Agility RPM℠, combined with a Distributed Development Engagement Model, enables us to develop solutions for virtually any kind of business. QAT Global transformed traditional Agile development and Scrum project management processes designed for single location teams into Agility RPM℠, a repeatable process methodology for distributed development teams. The Agile and Scrum aspects of Agility RPM provide these distributed development teams with strong communications flow, collaboration, and stakeholder alignment basis required for optimal results. Agility RPM enables our distributed development teams to start producing quality results immediately since we work from standards that provide a common technology language that allows everyone to communicate effectively. It also makes it possible to bring additional new project staff up to speed very quickly if needed. Client Benefits Flexibility and Agility By design, the Agile development method treats change as a normal part of the development cycle and produces rapid results with short, closed-ended project duration. With Agile, we can improve the project’s overall value without causing slips in planned completion dates. Quality Results Fast At QAT Global, we use distributed development teams with Agility RPM℠ to cut the time it typically takes a traditional outsourcing or offshore team to get up to speed from months to 2 weeks enabling them to produce real results in a few months rather than a year or more. US-based Architect or Delivery Manager Our projects are all guided by a US-based Architect or Delivery Manager so that our clients always have an English-speaking primary contact to manage their project specifications, feedback, and any offshore team members. In addition, our project leads in Brazil, and Costa Rica all speak English. Brazil and Costa Rica enjoy a culture that is also quite similar to that of the US, unlike India, China, or Russia. Better Blended Rate By using a combination of resources from across the country and Brazil or Costa Rica that are trained in Agility RPM℠, you get the benefit of offshore rate discounts with the level of quality and time to delivery you’d expect from a solely onshore team. In all cases, we create and promise these benefits: Ownership and Responsibility Cost Savings Guaranteed Service Levels Business Value Our best practices methodology and proven project management techniques assure our clients that the outsourced operations are properly managed to focus on more strategic efforts. As a result, our clients realize tangible and intangible values such as reduced costs, improved employee morale, and decreased people dependency without compromising quality or function. The Distributed Development Engagement Model leverages the optimal combination of talented resources for the project, rather than forming a location-based team, to deliver cost-effective, secure development, maintenance, and management of projects for our clients. QAT Global offers clients the option of leveraging talented resources from the US, Brazil, and Costa Rica. Our nearshore development centers in Costa Rica and Brazil offer minimal time differences to the US enabling a high level of communication between development team members and clients.
