Improved overall quality of IT service planning :
With over 20 years of experience we have a clear view of the processes and operations involved in transforming your business, regardless of the domain you are in. The following phases are included in our framework as we deliver application maintenance services:
Planning and diagnostics: Through this, we help you choose the right applications and functions to outsource. The analysis considers a number of factors for assessment and results in identification of the applications to outsource and the risk mitigation strategy for the same. This phase also includes planning the offshore/near shore development centre infrastructure, communication, knowledge acquisition, reporting during the steady state phase.
Knowledge acquisition and transition: We have a very robust knowledge acquisition process with defined deliverables and check points which ensure smooth transfer. It results in a parallel performance activity where the InfoElite team works on simulated cases thus giving you the confidence in the ability to take over your application maintenance.
Steady state: Once the application is taken over for complete support, we implement standard maintenance/development models as prescribed in our leading-edge quality system – VelociQ. The status of work in each of the applications is reported as part of the pre-defined weekly status reports and appropriate communication/escalation is carried as defined in the communication/governance plans. SLAs are continuously monitored and adhered to in this phase.
Transformation: Once the applications are stabilised, the engagement transcends to the continuous improvement phase wherein our expertise in Six Sigma, Factory model optimisation and other productivity improvement tools are leveraged to deliver YoY productivity, enhanced application functionality and increased ease of maintenance.
