Q: How do I get the right professionals for the assignment?
A: Our client service executives work closely with
you to gain a thorough understanding of the skills your project requires.
Staff selection begins with a review of the technical skills
and experience levels required by your project, but it doesn't end there. We also
look at your organization's development style, and the domain of your project to
help ensure a successful staff placement.
This information, along with our experience, allows us to
pick the right staff for your assignment.
We have found that spending the time to get the full picture
before making a staffing decision leads to better selections and a more satisfying
experience for both clients and staff members - but the final choice lies with you.
If you decide that your staff placement just isn't working out, we'll revise your
staff until you're satisfied.
Q: Who supervises my remote staff?
A: Your outsourced professionals function as remotely-based
employees who report to you for technical direction. They receive day-to-day supervision
and workload management by you. Each client, however, is assigned a client services
executive who is there to support you for any issues that may arise.
Q: How do I communicate with my remote professionals?
A: While your professionals are remotely located
in our facilities, they are readily accessible by you. A key step in initiating
your service is designing a communication plan the suits your preferences.
Typically our clients use one or more of the following methods
for communication:
Voice over IP (VoIP Phone)
Email
Instant Messaging (AIM,
MSN, Yahoo)
Standard telephone
As part of your communication plan, we will help you establish
your preferences and priorities for communication methods and create guidelines
for whom to contact in your organization for particular issues.
Q: How quickly can I get started?
A: We can get the process started Today!!
The length of time to get your professionals assigned and
working for you largely depends upon the particular skills and level of experience
you are seeking. Contact US NOW! and we can quickly provide you an estimate tailored
to your requirements.
Q: Is there a minimum staff size or duration of engagement?
A: Nope!
There is no minimum required number of professionals for an engagement. Whether
you need just one or one hundred, we will diligently work to get you the right staff
for your needs.
Our professionals are outsourced on a month-to-month basis
so there is no long-term commitment you need to make. One month is the minimum engagement
period for individual staff members. Three months is the minimum engagement period
for a managed team.
Q: What about news reports that say I'm hurting the economy
by moving jobs overseas?
A: This is certainly not the case. The choice to
use offshore labor is no different than any other business decision that lowers
the cost of production.
Whether it is buying from the supplier with the best price
or finding a better way to get work done, every business decision that improves
the efficiency of production benefits the economy as a whole, though it may not
benefit a specific individual.
We all know the sting of being on the wrong side of such
business decisions, whether it is losing a bid to a competitor or losing a job to
downsizing.
But as unpleasant as it might be, there is no escaping the
laws of economics - improvements in the efficiency of production conveys a benefit
to the economy as a whole through less expensive goods and services.
