Interested in Business Transformation? We're hosting a GO Live Event, a dynamic exchange of experiences, strategies, and insights that can shape your transformation roadmap.
Whether you are a global enterprise, a technology start-up, an investor or IT reseller, we have a partnership option and commercial model that’s right for you.
Results-based partnership approach
The traditional outsourcing business model is based on a day rate; yet this places all of the risk on the customer, who has no guarantee of a successful outcome. We think you deserve an outsourced software partner who is willing to be invested in your success.
We don’t work or think like ‘work for hire’ software developers. Rather than charging on a day rate basis, or for the amount of code we develop, our commercial model is based on the successful delivery of your system.
Our contract reads more like a partnership agreement with a focus on the project outcome. It keeps us focused and motivated by the same things as you – faster project delivery and realisable commercial value.
We will only agree the cost of the project once we’ve captured all of your business requirements in a comprehensive UAT document. In this way we are incentivised to agree a fixed budget and to deliver the project on time, minimising the risk of costly delays.
We will ensure the project stays on track with weekly calls to track progress. By reducing the volume of source code by up to 40% we speed up every element of the development process. And should you want to make changes to the UAT, we can deliver these on the fly and still go live on time!
However large your project, we typically deliver within weeks or months rather than years, with full payment on completion and no extra costs incurred.
Working with SCAD Software removes the angst of being locked into a single provider. We offer a guaranteed optional exit strategy, should you want to change direction.
