Benefits of PRS Consulting Services's Delivery Methodology
 Reduced overall cost and lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
PRS Consulting Services’s blended delivery cost model allows for duplication of the application environment, initial training, knowledge transfer, the transition process, and steady state phase. Typical first-year savings are approximately 40% of current costs; ongoing years average about 50%. These numbers are based on industry average rates of $750K for a sustenance engineering team, with PRS Consulting Services's dual-shore cost model reducing this figure to about $445K.
On average, one or two onsite project leads work with our India Development Center staff to provide a lower blended rate. Outsourcing software development requirements can result an overall faster ROI by providing:
- 50% cost savings over current staffing, on average
- 30% productivity improvement, on average
- 80% reduction in management overhead, on average
PRS Consulting Services guarantees a 30% increase in productivity with equal or better product quality through our blended delivery model. The India Development Center teams have solid experience and follow established consistent processes. Current productivity levels are determined at the outset of each program, and they target the achievement of higher levels within a six-month period.
More efficient use of management resources
PRS Consulting Services's onsite project lead handles all day-to-day interactions, escalating when necessary. This approach eliminates an average of four days per week of direct management by a key IT director or manager, who is then free to focus on other critical IT activities.
Proficient resource management
PRS Consulting Services's dual-shore methodology incorporates the practice of effectively managing our resources upon a lull or a ramp-up in client activity. This ensures that the client does not incur any unnecessary costs or carry unnecessary overhead.
Dedicated Development Centers (DDC)
Dedicated Development Centers are a distinguishing element of our blended delivery model, targeted to those clients seeking a preferred business model and a long-term relationship with PRS Consulting Services. The DDC is a fully-furnished virtual development center with separate staff and resources dedicated to meeting the unique IT and business requirements of the client— a virtual extension of the client’s own organization, fully managed by the PRS Consulting Services’s India Development Center.
The DDC environment simulates the client environment to the greatest extent possible, with software engineers, team leaders, and project managers assigned per the client's skill-matrix requirements. Clients have the option of customizing the center to meet their specific needs regarding security levels, isolation levels, and management oversight. In addition, DDC clients can monitor detailed status and other reporting tools online via PRS Consulting Services’s customer portal, which offers unmatched control and decision-making capabilities.
PRS Consulting Services’s DDC services apply to various IT and business requirements:
- Custom application development
- Product implementation and support
- End-to-end application development and maintenance outsourcing
- Application reengineering services
- Application migration and porting services
DDCs can be allocated for fixed or variable time periods, depending upon the scope of work. In addition, the India Development Center assumes complete responsibility for infrastructure management, recruitment, personnel training, hardware/software procurement and maintenance, the communication network, HR management, primary project management and quality control. In short, customers enjoy the benefits of improved communication, higher productivity, and better synergy.
