Kosher Softwares delivers IT solutions by leveraging our unique offshore outsourcing model to the benefit of our customers. Through a flexible approach to projects, Kosher allows customers to take advantage of all of our global resources - from application hosting in Kosher's own software labs to complete outsourcing of product development to our Project Management and Development Centers in India, London, UK and California, US or to Advanced Development Center in Central India which is the best place for development considering the fact that most of the IT'ans over the world are Indians. Our commitment to our customers and our obsession with quality ensures your success and your bottom line cost savings.

How We Engage
Kosher Softwares can deliver software development solutions in a number of ways. You can outsource your project onsite at your facility, offsite at one of our development labs, or offshore at Kosher's Advanced Software Development facilities in India and other centers mentioned earlier. For additional flexibility, these options can be used in combination to achieve fast, high quality results.

Onsite Development
In this approach, all the activities are performed at the customer site. The project management and design & development teams are all based at that location. Customer's sponsors work closely with Kosher's project management and design team to establish deliverables, timelines, team composition, etc. Day-to-day supervision of the activities is handled by a combination of the customer's team and Kosher's team. This approach is ideal for engagements where:

* The scope has not been defined in detail

* The scope may undergo a number of changes

* The deliverables or the requirements can change dynamically

* Timelines are aggressive

Offsite Development


In this approach, work is performed at Kosher's own development lab at its offices in the US or UK. Prior to beginning any work, the Kosher team meets with the customer team to work out the details of the engagement. The project scope, deliverables, screen layouts, reporting, functionality issues, timelines, etc. are all defined in detail. A small mockup of the actual application may also be developed during this phase to understand the look and feel of the end product.

After the definition phase, work moves to the Kosher Softwares lab. Deliverables and other progress reports will be made available to the customer at pre-agreed intervals. The customer may choose to receive remote access to the development server via a VPN or some other secure means. By accessing the development server remotely, the customer can monitor progress in real time, and maintain overall control even though work is being carried out offsite. This approach is ideal for engagements where:

* The scope has been defined in detail

* Timelines are aggressive

* There may be a need for the customer to visit with the development team or the team's managers for greater efficiency

Offshore Development

In this approach, work is actually performed at Kosher Softwares's Project Management and Development Center located in UK and US, and at Advanced Software Development Centers in Central India. Prior to the beginning of any work, a US or Europe-based Kosher Software team meets with the customer team to work out details of the engagement. The scope of the project, the deliverables, screen layouts, reporting, functionality, timelines, etc. are all defined in detail. A small mockup of the actual application may also be developed during this phase to understand the look-and-feel of the end product.

After the definition phase, the work activity is performed at one of the Development Centers. Progress reports and deliverables will be made available to the customer at pre-agreed intervals. The customer may choose to receive remote access to the development server via a VPN or some other secure means. By accessing the development server remotely, the customer can monitor progress in real time, and maintain overall control even though work is being carried out offsite. This approach is ideal for engagements where:

* Budget is limited

* The scope and requirements are stable and well-defined

* Timelines are aggressive

Combination Development

By using a combination of onsite, offsite and offshore resources, customers can maximize utilization of time and resources for complex projects. Also, if designed correctly, this arrangement allows retention of control for high-to-medium level issues while eliminating day-to-day involvement in mundane, routine details. The benefits of various combinations include:
