Pre-Project Assessment
Experience tells us that successful outsourcing demands great amount of customer insight. That is why at the outset, our management team makes it a point to discuss your project requirements during the exploratory stages to properly advice you of the appropriate service you need.
After agreeing on how the project should be carried out, we offer a deal structure that carefully aligns the service to your budget along with the closest possible simulation of your infrastructure, management culture, work environment and methodologies you want done during the course of the project implementation.
Project Management
Despite our considerable management experience in virtual staffing, we leave very little room for human error. Many outsourced projects fail not because they lack the management expertise nor they fail from the lack of reports, statistics or charts. Projects fail from the clear lack of communication.
Global Smartsourcing, Inc. solves this commonly-overlooked problem by providing the platform to serve as the “nerve-center” to improve communication between and among people working together on a project.
Our web-based Project Management Tool streamlines collaboration across borders significantly reducing the difficulty of managing tasks or projects to allow you, your staff and management to work laterally and intelligently.
Our Project Management Tool allows you to:
- Get a “birds-eye-view” of the project – what’s current,
upcoming or pending;
- Centralized and threaded communication for faster feedback;
- Receive alerts by email to view recent milestones;
- Create lists, add task items and assign responsible persons;
- Upload files, categorize, sort, track versions, share deliverables;
- Get updated of what's due, when it's due, and who's responsible;
- Keep track of the hours spent on a task or a complete project.
Agile Methodologies
Blending Agile Methodologies and offshoring poses difficult and unique challenges between distinct organizations. In reality, it is by far the strongest issue why many outsourcing endeavors today falter and eventually fail.
Global Smartsourcing, Inc. is among the very few in the offshore community which believes that the Agile model can, over the long haul, provide significant, quantifiable and value-based outcomes for outsourced IT or business processes contrary to popular notion.
The urgency and painstaking decision to adopt Agile by the Management Team wasn’t only a matter of value proposition for the company but was aimed to help customers succeed. A glimpse of the valuable lessons gained from using Agile Methodologies in many projects that were outsourced to us is that for it to thrive in an offshore environment both camps must relentlessly:
- Innovate the level of interaction to better recognize and adjust
the differences;
- Pursue ways to improve processes and achieve perfection
iteratively and;
- Device effective feedback cycles to diagnose gaps and make
course corrections easily in-between tasks across locations.
And in a global economy stashed by unpredictable and hypercompetitive landscape, firms cannot survive by just being proactive alone. It takes Agile to be more responsive and adaptive to rapid market evolution. And to be Agile, it also takes to be proactively reactive to changes in order to win.
