In this scenario we are granted rights to a remote server. Level of permission depends on security policies and engagement of our partner. Strict security policies require more work from local server administrator. The implementation and administration can be processed according to requirements created by partner. We also offer our help during the creation of project – we are experienced in functional and technical analysis. In this model we charge on monthly or hourly basis, as it is an ongoing process. The implementation could be charged separately as for a one-time service. - Second model is a programming outsource/product development – in this model we receive a full functional (or functional and technical) specifications for web part, site definition or some part of larger project. We create technical specifications (if not included) and develop required software which is then sent to partner as a ready product/component. Depending on the agreement we would also provide the partner with the source codes and technical documentation. - Thirdly we help our partners in defining customers’ needs and help our partners in finding the best ways to solve their client’s problem. We have a good know-how about various SPS functionalities and third-party solutions. Of course we can also prepare analysis for a custom, tailored solutions which would be then developed by our programmers. Communication and contact Intensity of communication during remote cooperation varies depending on the project – in case of programming outsource/product development and portal administration everything can be done by e-mails – our developers have worked this way and it runs smoothly. If we are to work together on a project as a part of programming team then we require our partners to provide a platform for collaboration. We also can help set up such platform – details would have to be specified. We have experience in working through VPN and give great amount of attention to security of transmission and sensitive data. Our products are always equipped with complete setup programs which make the implementation a seamless process. If we are to help with defining customer needs, then we understand that personal meetings are crucial. Our analytics and IT pros are ready to share their knowledge personally in your local office.
