What are the risks involved in offshore dedicated development, and how do you answer them?

Prima facie, we see four types of risks involved during the remote software development

  • Firstly, there are likely risks of incompleteness of requirements, improper planning, improper managing and development processes. At PearlArc, all these risk issues are eliminated with utter alertness so that there are no chances of failure.
  • Secondly, the other risk factor is of improper communication between our teams and clients. We have learned to create a framework with high response mechanism between PearlArc team members and client project coordinators ensuring all requests from client's side are responded and none is left unanswered.
  • One of the most important risks that we manage well is on agreement and contract terms. Responsibilities, payments and other arrangements have to be well made-up, safeguarding both sides.
  • Finally, it boils down to managing the expectations well and hence PearlArc follows the strategy of setting up the right expectations with its clients. If we say we will deliver, then we ensure we deliver as per plan.

What standard terms and conditions related to payments are followed?

PearlArc Systems has flexible payment terms for its customers. Once a contract is signed, we issue an invoice made according to the Payment Schedule, which is a part of the Project Plan approved by you. Usually invoices are paid by wire transfer in US Dollars or Euro or GBP to our bank accounts in India. The Payment terms in the first month usually start with an advance of 50% of the first month billing and the remainder of the amount at the end of the billing cycle, which would be on a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly basis depending on the scope and longevity of the resources. Thereafter, billing will be done on a regular schedule.
