RUSSIA OUTSOURCING COMPANY

DESCRIPTION
Russian company Intelligence-Soft, Ltd was created in 1994 and since that time it successfully operates in the international offshore software development market providing customers from Denmark, Germany, UK, France, Italy, USA and Canada with reasonably priced high quality software products and services. Company is located in St. Petersburg, main scientific and educational center and the second biggest city in Russia.
At an early period of company’s history Intelligence-Soft engineers became one of the most proficient groups in Prolog programming and Artificial intelligence technologies due to the close collaboration with Danish software house Prolog Development Center - the developer of world famous PDC Prolog, Turbo Prolog and Visual Prolog. Later Intelligence-Soft expanded its area of interests and involved software professionals and web-designers having significant experience in various technologies from low-level Assembler programming to the development of corporate information systems and web-portals.

Main distinctions between Intelligence-Soft and other vendors are:
• high-educated English-speaking personnel specially trained for the collaboration with foreign customers. Each of the developers has from 3 to 12 years of working experience in offshore software development companies and upgrades his professional skills regularly visiting training courses and reading contemporary technical literature.
• well-established development procedures based upon the proprietary quality assurance system and the requirements of international standards
• web-based Project Management System providing developers and clients with comprehensive and easy-to-use environment for day-to-day project management, monitoring and communication. The system arms client’s personnel and Intelligence-Soft developers with advanced methodological approach and planning discipline. It supports full project lifecycle from preliminary negotiations and concept to post-delivery maintenance and support.

TERMS
Fixed price contracting model:
Our fixed time, fixed price model offers customers a low-risk option and can be employed when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear.
Fixed price model assumes that the client agrees to pay a fixed amount of money for the delivery of fixed software functionality. The positive thing about a fixed price contract is that a client knows the price in advance and it puts pressure on the vendor to be efficient.

Time and material contracting model:
Time and materials model assumes that the client agrees to pay by the hour for the effort put into the project. With this kind of project, the client will not have to worry about the issues of what is included and what is not, like it has to do with a fixed price projects. The client and the vendor can make decisions and press ahead with the project. It will also be easier for the client to have a say in how things are done since it will have to pay the price if the least expensive route is not chosen. A time and materials contract also puts pressure on the client to do everything possible to assist the vendor in doing a good job. This usually leads to better results.

Remote staffing:
This model (also known as Dedicated Offshore development centers - ODCs) is similar to the Time & Materials relationships and fits best of all for long-term collaboration with the client companies who needs a team of high educated skilled developers to complement its own IT personnel.
In this case Intelligence-Soft hires necessary number of developers having required education and skills, provides them with infrastructure and assigns them for the work exclusively with the certain customer. Customer pays for the work of these developers on monthly basis and has an opportunity to manage their work as if they were its own employees.
