ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Manusis customizes the engagement model to work around the client enterprise specifics - from business goals to project management and HR practices. Our engagement models and the partnership processes are designed in a way to combat risks while receiving all the benefits of an outsourcing venture. Manusis offers following engagement models to meet clients' diverse needs:

• Fixed Cost/Fixed Time Model
• Dedicated Teams Model
• Hourly Rate Model

Fixed Cost/Fixed Time Model

Manusis offers customers a fixed time / fixed price model when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear. Under this low-risk model we work with clients to define expected deliverables and time-lines to determine a mutually agreed fixed price. Our refined process guarantees reliability, predictability and optimized performance of the projects and assures on-time and on-budget outcomes.

This model is best suited for small projects or for large projects when the scope, schedules and requirements of the project are specifically defined. The total cost and time-line of the development is agreed prior to the start of the project. Then we select the most suitable development team and technologies and management resources to accomplish the project as agreed. Any new features or major changes later on are discussed and quoted separately. As the projects specs and deliverables are clearly defined prior to the project start, this model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects.

Dedicated Teams Model

Dedicated Teams Model is an excellent solution if you need a complete control over human and technical resources involved into the development process. This model features a high level of transparency, security, flexibility and scalability. All infrastructure and personnel are at your dedicated service as long as you need them for a fixed monthly fee. DTM is a good choice if you need a team of highly-qualified professionals that will exactly match your IT and business needs. This makes the development process more explicit and manageable and ensures a higher resources efficiency.

Dedicated teams operates as an extension of the customer's development centre. In this model, Manusis forms project teams with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on client requirements. For such dedicated relationships, we may offer implement customer specific quality/process frameworks trained for the specific needs of a client.

Hourly Rate Model

Manusis gives customers greater flexibility to alter the project specification on an ongoing basis based upon upcoming market trends. The client pays a fixed hourly rate which is agreed at the time of contract signing. This model best works with regular & ongoing maintenance and support services.
