BUSINESS MODELS
To meet the diverse requirements of our global clients, 2SI offers several distinct project engagement and payment models. By selecting the right combination of models we are able to ensure that our clients achieve their business needs with at an affordable price, quick delivery time and high profitability.
Man-hours & Materials Approach
This model works best for projects that are subject to specification changes midstream. Due to the continuously evolving nature of market trends and user requirements, clients are given the opportunity to revise or redevelop business plans, by following an Man-hours and Materials Pricing Scheme. In this model, fees billed to the client are directly associated with the resources and time deployed while working on the project.
Fixed Fees Approach
For clients with a definite project agenda and limited time, the Fixed Fees approach works best. This method allows clients to monitor remote projects by paying in predefined milestones to tangibly track work progress.
Dedicated Resources
Clients in need of continuous offshore support can minimize costs by hiring a Dedicated Resource on a retainer basis. These dedicated developers will function as an extension of the client’s development centre on our offshore premises.
Strategic Partner Group (SPG)
This model offers clients dedicated resources both on-site and offshore, for all their design and development needs. This model therefore helps to achieve long term objectives of the client in an integrated work culture environment.
The SPG is intended to supplement and integrate with the client’s existing infrastructure, to improve productivity and minimize risks. The SPG is particularly advantageous as the combination of on-site and offshore resources allows for a 24x7 work hour cycle.
Off shore Development Centre (ODC)
The ODC model constitutes a long term relationship between the client and 2SI towards shared mutually beneficial goals. Here the client guarantees fixed workflow for a fixed number of resources for a fixed period of time. The client then defines the skill levels required from its offshore partner and projects resources to retain or procure the same.
Clients may hire –
Individuals (Hire a single or multiple resources)
Project teams (Hire a project development team)
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Clients will also receive –
Dedicated hardware and software infrastructure
Dedicated high-speed communication equipment
Physical and network security
IP protection mechanisms
Well-defined offshore development software facilities

METHODOLOGY
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
Software development involves using selected process techniques which allows for quality software engineering with the best delivery times and least scope for error. In other words, selecting the right software development methodology to suit your needs is an important factor in managing and minimising risk.
Rather than following a rigid development pattern, at the onset of project discussions, 2SI helps you choose the best software development methodology fit for your requirements. Primarily we follow the two best practices available –
Agile Methodology - SCRUM
Agile methodologies generally promote a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation. It fosters a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and self–accountability. It follows a set of engineering best practices that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software. Agile methodologies acknowledge business approaches that align product development to rise to customer needs and company goals.
2SI follows the SCRUM project methodology for complex projects subject to constantly evolving project requirements. SCRUM is an agile method which is used to manage software developments using an iterative, incremental and empirical approach. SCRUM recognizes that the scope of a project is subject to change (or a requirements churn) along the way, and that such unpredicted challenges cannot be overcome by a traditional or planned approach. As such, SCRUM is a people-oriented and adaptive method which focuses on maximizing productivity and responding to emerging requirements.
Key practices of SCRUM include –
Customers function as a part of the development team.
SCRUM provides frequent intermittent functional software models, enabling clients to constantly monitor progress and revise project scope based on their changing business objectives.
SCRUM follows a transparent project planning and development process.
SCRUM facilitates frequent risk mitigation and analysis, with advance warning systems.
Waterfall Model
Albeit rather old fashioned, the waterfall model is still a sound and reliable model for projects having simple non changing objectives. This disciplined and plan driven model provides an orderly sequence of development steps, which allows for better management. This is accomplished by Project scoping and analysis, design, coding, testing and documentation and training in a strict and pre-planned sequence. Progress is generally measured by tangible deliverables.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
2SI’s Software Project Development Model (SPDM) allows clients to stay on top of things by tracking performance and progress through detailed reviews at every stage of development, while still enjoying the tranquillity of having us manage project planning and execution. A clear cut project methodology is followed to ensure 360° analysis as well as effective task completion in the stipulated time and budget.
Our core processes includes –
Cumulating & Analysing Requirements
In order to provide relevant and streamlined solutions, client requirements are gathered in a structured manner for feasibility analysis. Under circumstances where exact project specifications outlining the behaviour of the software, does not exist, 2SI undertakes scope documentation preparation and prototypes building to take client concepts and put it on paper. This is followed by brainstorming sessions to communicate on the best technology options available and techniques to overcome possible challenges.
Architecture
Based on detailed specifications, architecture is planned, to ensure stability of the product software or application. Functional specifications are subjected to analysis to ensure all requirements can be met and future scalability is possible. An exact time and cost estimate is then provided for client consideration.
Programming & Delivery
This phase involves the actual development and implementation of the project. Initial prototype provided to the client is herein replaced by a full scale solution. Clients are given the option to stay in the developmental loop by constantly monitoring progress through our internal project management portal. Upon completion of project development, codes are subjected to stringent software testing for early elimination of bugs and errors, which can prove costly down the line if not detected at this stage. Once satisfied with the flawlessness of the final product, it is released to the client for review and feedback.
Launch
The final phase of the development cycle includes transferring the software to client hosting followed by a final bug check. Our success is in making your business a success. With this in mind, clients are provided training and operating manuals for the software in order to fully prepare and familiarise them with the product.
Post Production Maintenance
The best way to ensure product and code quality is not compromised is to have the same developers working on the post production software maintenance. Based on project size, software maintenance are followed through either as a part of the original contract, or as an additionally purchased option. These contracts include any unforeseen bug corrections that may arise, as well as functionality customisations that the client may require to keep the software updated with market requirements.
