Expedien's operating models provide maximum flexibility. Each Offshore Development Center (ODC) option has distinct benefits in terms of cost leverage and tradeoffs in terms of setup time and ownership. Following highlight the three main operating models of Expedien.

Expedien Managed ODC: Perfect for startups or new software product engineering efforts, this option offers minimum setup time with complete responsibility taken by Expedien to deliver your products. The ODC team works closely with your sales, product management and marketing teams to deliver products according to market requirements, on time.

Client Managed ODC: Most common among established companies for their existing products, the ODC in this model serves as an extension to your onshore team. While Expedien manages day-to-day operations of the outsourced product development, you control the team directly and take responsibility for its delivery.

Managed Subsidiary: Suitable for companies thinking of starting their own subsidiary or outsourcing it to India, but are concerned about the initial setup and attracting quality people specializing in outsourced product development. Expedien sets up the subsidiary on your behalf and provides infrastructure services including recruitment, leveraging Expedien’s presence in top academic campuses and key recruitment channels.

BOT Option: The Build-Operate-Transfer option can be added to any of the above three models to convert the ODC into a fully owned subsidiary at any point in time.

BOT Approach: Expedien's Build-Operate-Transfer approach enables customers to rapidly start offshore software product development operations and later transfer the offshore development center as their own subsidiary.

Expedien provides the following value during each phase of the process:

Build: Setup the facility and infrastructure, staff the development center, and establish knowledge transfer.

Operate: Manage the offshore organization: Program Management, Development, QA, Maintenance, Enhancements, and Product support.

Transfer: Register a new offshore subsidiary for the customer, transfer assets, and handover operations.
