Advantages
The advantage of this model is that it provides a business solution for complex business problems focusing on a solution framework using diverse skills. The benefit of this model is tangible and is dependent on the level of expertise that the client chooses from the available resource pool with AMSTECH.
Time & Material Model
Concept
As the name suggests the client will be charged based on he resources utilized and the time spent on the project.Applicability
This is a good model for implementing projects which are longer in duration and where the project specifications evolve as the implementation progresses. Large scale and complex projects are best executed using this model. The objective of any IT project is to find a solution to a business problem. This model allows the service provider and the client to arrive at that solution, together. The best suitable solution possible to resolve the business problem can be delivered to the client. The focus is more on the solution and the specifications evolve to fit the business solution.
Approach
This model has a start point from various stages for eg. post specification, pre-specification, post architectural design etc. A comprehensive scenario will involve problem definition, solution definition, research, business analysis, specifications, visual mapping, architectural design, documentation, coding, change management, testing, roll out and support.
The effort estimation for all the stages at the beginning of the project is usually complex. The client and AMSTECH prioritize and scope each stage. AMSTECH prepares an effort estimate for that stage, defines the promised deliverables for that stage and states the assumptions involved.The implementation of each stage is embarked upon with a provision for change management. The effort is charged at an agreed hourly rate based on the quality of resource engaged. The client and AMSTECH agree on a change management practice and provides room for the same. AMSTECH’s effective project management ensures that effort is estimated and implemented in an effective and controlled fashion to reduce time and cost overruns. This process is repeated for each of the stages until the solution is delivered in its entirety. AMSTECH has considerable exposure and experience in implementing Time & Material projects. The client benefits from the strong business analysis, research and project management experience of AMSTECH in achieving the desired business solution. Managing complex projects needs expertise in various aspects of project management and a symbiotic and close interaction of various skills and tools. AMSTECH has the advantage of having all of them under one roof.
