Global Delivery
Model
SAI Systems' Global Delivery Model is the engine that allows us to provide
reliable, scalable and cost effective delivery of services and solutions. SAI
Systems' Global Delivery Model enables our clients to choose a sourcing
strategy that is best suited to their business considerations, e.g., cost
optimization, cultural alignment, location proximity, language capabilities and
risk-mitigation.
All of SAI Systems' processes and infrastructure have been developed from the
ground up, and are modular to allow flexibility in the management of each
engagement. Our Global Delivery Model consists of 3 integrated components:
- Global Workforce
- Integrated Processes
- Multi-Tiered
Infrastructure
Resource Team
Having the right team with the right mix of skills and experience is crucial
for any successful project delivery. SAI Systems, with over 23 years of service
experience, has a rich pool of global talent; which is not only experienced,
but highly proactive and customer-focused. We thoroughly screen our resources
and insist on the passing of a well-defined interview processes, prior to
hiring. Our team members strive to deliver quality solutions meeting or
exceeding customer expectations.
Shadow Resources
To ensure business continuity and retain knowledge, SAI Systems provides
"Shadow Resources" as a part of our Best Practices. "Shadow Resources" are
contributing members of the team, allowing flexibility in team size, without
the investment of ramp-up time. In most cases, they are non-billable client
resources. However, they can also be available to back fill core team members
when needed.
Knowledge Base /
Wikis
Documenting and sharing
knowledge is a best
practice followed and
strongly recommended by
SAI Systems. At all stages of the
project SAI Systems resources will
document their findings and
have it reviewed by the
Client. The process or
system documentation is
updated and stored in the
SAI Systems "SystemDocWiki".
The SystemDocWiki is an
online source of System
Documentation, which
preserves the life of the
documentation. As an online
repository, the information
is easily searchable,
updated frequently,
and is easily dissected.
Governance
Governance Meetings are
regularly scheduled,
high-level project overview
meetings, with management
from both SAI Systems and Client participating.
Governance meetings are at
their most effective when
the information presented
is metric-based. This
allows management to track
trends over time, measure
performance, and keep the
discussion at a
project-wide level.
Governance meetings are
also a forum for raising
and discussing project-wide
issues. SAI Systems prefers to
present Governance monthly,
and the SAI Systems Vice
President, Engagement
Manager, Account Manager,
and Offshore Delivery
Manager will participate.
It is recommended that any
Executive Sponsors and
Department Managers
participate from the
Client. SAI Systems has found that
these meeting are critical
in order to keep the lines
of communication open on
the project, and
participation from the
right individuals from the
Client is integral to its
success. |
