Asia ODC's services

We begin each project with understanding the client's business, so we can offer the best solution and technology. We make sure working with us develops the business of our client. We invite you to get to know the details of our approach to software development!

Pilot Project

Every new relationship needs time to fine tune communications, ramp up on technology, establish process and determine if the relationship is the right fit. At Asia ODC, we recognize that this initial phase of the relationship requires investment from both parties. During what we call the Pilot phase of the project, which typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks, we assume 50% of the development fees while we focus on the following key deliverables:

» Establishing common, effective communication patterns.

» Create local dev environments and ramp up on the preferred technology platform with respect to the client code, their best
practices, and coding standards.

» Apply knowledge learned through years of experience as processes that mitigate common outsourcing issues.

» Pair a US-based Program Manager with a client representative to understand client needs, define project goals, capture
requirements, and relay to development team.

» Create a production deployment plan and work through new or unforeseen issues that may occur.

» Deliver a defined set of features as agreed upon by the client and the Asia ODC Program Manager.

Towards the end of this cycle, we sit down together and perform an honest assessment of the relationship and confirm that we do, indeed, make a great fit for an ongoing partnership.

Partner Phase

Upon delivery of a successful Pilot project, we move into the Partner phase of the relationship. Our goal in the Partner phase is to help the client truly achieve their long-term business vision. We focus on the mission of the client and work together to produce a “living” product that drives that mission. Here’s how we do it:

At this point in the relationship, the development team is fully trained and is ready to rock. We follow an agile development approach based on the SCRUM methodology. This enables us to deliver weekly iterations that have tangible review points for the client. A typical iteration cycle goes like this:

» Client and US-based Program Manager work together to define the high-level feature set and requirements.

» Project Manager creates a detailed requirements document.

» Client (or a partner) deliver graphics to the develop team.

» Develop Lead or Architecture creates a detailed design document for feature development.

» Developers turn focus to writing code (50% of the iteration), and testing and stabilizing code (50%).

» At the end of the iteration, the new feature(s) are released to a staging server for client review.

» Production releases can be as often as weekly (usually in maintenance mode) but more likely contain a set of iterations with a 1-2 week beta/stabilization period.

Communication is central to our operations, and our team emphasizes close, frequent communications with the client for maximum transparency and efficiency. We use shared project management tools such as Basecamp and Redmine/Jira to collaborate and record progress; clients receive weekly status reports and monthly value reports to ensure goals are being met; and our senior level managers are always available to discuss satisfaction or future resourcing needs.
