Competency Center

Advantages

HiTech competency centers are the perfect way to take advantage of lower cost offshore resources and cross-group synergies. A HiTechcompetency center is a multi-discipline, dedicated team that works side–by–side to support each other. These teams are most effective as long-term investments so you can maintain institutional knowledge and leverage high productivity through entire product cycles.

Effectiveness

The most effective competency center will have a research & development team, a managed services team, and a customer facing support group. The competency center will also have a reporting practice and a deployment project management team for enterprise software.

Typically the first group into the competency center will the Quality Assurance Team (QA) which touches all other disciplines. The QA team learns all aspects of the software and in turn helps hire and train the other groups.

Team

The recommend minimum team size is 8 people, however, they can expand as needed to support your business. All members of a competency are hand-picked and take 90 days to get minimally staffed. We believe it’s more important to get the right person in the right spot than just putting resources on the project so we can start bill.

Productivity & Stability

Our customer realize the best value from a full competency center both in productivity and stability. Investing in maintaining institutional knowledge in a remote, lower cost team will increase the quality and speed of your deliveries without breaking your budget.
