Ikas Engagement Model

Ikas global delivery engagement model is based on our years of experience in delivering high technology and complex Software Solutions & Services to mid-market enterprises and Independent Software vendors (ISVs). Our engagement model provides distributed, collaborative and seamless teams integrated with the client’s organization.

Ikas 5th Dimension Methodology

Ikas understands that formal processes form a critical component of the global delivery engagement model and places great emphasis on this aspect. Our proprietary methodology is designed to deliver predictable and quality software solutions and services.

Collaboration

On-site/Offshore collaboration is of paramount importance in our engagement and delivery model. Following are some of the mechanisms we use for an effective collaboration.

Use of multiple communication mechanisms: email, audio conferencing, mobile phones and collaborative communication tools
Access to project trackers and records of offshore team for review of project status at any time
Ikas' offshore team works flexible hours to ensure their availability during working hours of the on-site team
A brief end-of-day status call (as required) to clients to update the status of activities for the day and any open issues

High Performance Team

With our deep experience working with global mid-market enterprises and ISVs, we create ‘right sized’ dedicated teams optimized for different services needs. As the success of the engagement is determined by the quality of the team, we therefore take special care as a part of our HR Practices to assemble the dedicated team with the following features.

Assemble the best fit resources for the specific skill (technical, domain and soft) requirements.
Create and deploy them with well defined roles and responsibilities
People who can engage directly with on-site teams and can work independently
Team that is well versed in incremental features addition, phased/iterative development and frequent releases (agile methodology)
A team that functions with clearly defined handover across distributed members
A team that delivers to meet the quality and cost objectives of the clients
