Developement
Goggery is a custom software development company, the only software outsourcing
firm with math, technology & subject matter expertise combined. We offer a fixed-scope
fixed-price project, a monthly retainer or flexible time & materials option, as
well as any combination of the three. Regardless, the basic principle of accountability
is the same: we firmly believe that a vendor should deliver quality on time and
pay the price if they don't, whether they are paid by the hour or based on milestones.
We support a wide range of process and commercial engagement models to ensure that
project flow fits our client’s operational and financial objectives:
Fixed Price Fixed Scope
A classic delivery model which guarantees delivery of a pre-defined
set of functionality in a specific time frame
Requires significant effort upfront for requirement definition
and a rigid change management protocol
Can be done in Agile model (contrary to popular vision)
Less suitable for projects where requirements are likely to
change
Dedicated team
A team of engineers is assigned to work exclusively on a series of client's projects
Management and reporting duties are shared between client and DataArt
Ideal for Agile model
Allows for easy integration between DataArt's and client's in-house development team and infrastructure
Allows for a full scope control by the client and provides flexibility to change course as needed
Hybrid
A dedicated core team focuses on the on-going development and maintenance tasks; demand spikes (one-off projects) use additional staff on either Fixed Price or T&M basis
Time and Budget Cap
The engagement is split into fixed-time phases (e.g. three-month long) with a fixed not-to-be-exceeded budget; the team works off the task backlog in an Agile manner
This option limits the client’s exposure for each phase and provides a natural accountability mechanism – the vendor only gets next phase's budget allocation if the client is satisfied with current deliverables
