The company has a strong customer focus. Employees are incentive to maximize customer satisfaction. '''* Operational Flexibility''' Along with the stability that comes with a large company, we bring to the table the flexibility and cost competitiveness of a medium sized enterprise. We have served clients ranging from small businesses employing a few dozen people to large corporations with tens of thousands of employees – domestic and international. We have the flexibility to remain committed to every kind of project, large or small, without ever having to compromise on the competitive billing rates that we offer. * Long term relations With clients Elcosoft track record of delivering mission-critical solutions, extensive product development experience, and demonstrated industry and technology expertise has helped in forging strong relationships with our major customers and gaining increased business from them. We have a history of high customer retention and derive a significant proportion of our revenue from repeat business. Confidentiality and Non Disclosure Agreements ElcoSoft believes in ethical conduct of business and considers protecting the vital classified information received from client and built in to the project sacrosanct ''' Service Level Agreements''' Service level agreements are put in place to define the minimum level of service that must be provided. They are, therefore, the basis for measuring our performance. SLA's will typically be included in the contract schedules and cover a number of areas of service including. * System availability and response times * Quality standards Measuring and monitoring service levels can be achieved through user satisfaction surveys and analysis of performance data such as system response and job turn around times. It is not always easy to identify performance measures that accurately reflect the standard of service required by the client's users. SLA's can be ineffective documents unless the client has practical and realistic remedies in the event of non-performance. Such remedies might include the withholding or deduction of agreed rebates from fees otherwise payable to us, if the agreed level of performance is not maintained. The client needs to be aware that SLA's are not inflexible and there should be a review period in the SLA to cover changing client requirements and new technology. '''Property Rights for Produced Materials''' All materials, created by ElcoSoft in the course of project execution, e.g. software, source code, data structures, documentation, design options, etc., fully belong to the client unless agreed to separately. After project completion all materials are transferred to the client, and after he/she confirms the successful receipt, all electronic copies of this data will be purged unless instructed otherwise by the client. ElcoSoft is flexible and ready to consider additional conditions pertinent to rights of ownership for produced materials. '''Warranty and Product Maintenance''' ElcoSoft takes care in delivering a high quality product that fully adheres to the specifications defined and approved by the client. Though the deliverables are tested at multiple levels by ElcoSoft and also accepted and approved by the client, there can be times when bugs occur after the final delivery is made. ElcoSoft offers to its clients 60 days (after the final delivery) testing and trial period under which all bugs found by the Customer are fixed free of charge. Even after expiration of this period, we might provide the clients short cost-free consultations on the project concerning source code, implementation etc. '''Product support''' ElcoSoft can offer paid support services for created products, like modification of the product and creation of successive versions, product setup, customization, and administration at the Customer's servers, end user support. '''Support team''' ElcoSoft can provide a dedicated support team to support the product/software developed by us. The same developers who participated in the project development group carry out bug fixing and product support; therefore, such tasks are fulfilled with maximum speed and quality. The support can also be extended to providing the email and chat support to your customers. We can train our people to provide the back office support required to run the projects developed by us for you. '''Payment Schedule ''' The payment terms are as per mutual agreement between ElcoSoft and the Client. '''Payment Mode''' ElcoSoft requires that client make the requisite payments by wire transfer to our bank account in India. The wire transfer details are different for various currencies in which the payment is being made and is made available to the client on project initiation. The wire transfer sender charges, if any, will have to be borne by the client. We, at ElcoSoft , look at ourselves as a partner to our clients and not just another vendor. In the new economy, we realize that customers are increasingly demanding the flexibility that best serves their unique business requirements. We provide the option of selecting a combination of business models to suit various phases of a project cycle. We leverage our global delivery capability to offer services “on-site” at the client’s very own premises or “off-shore” at our world-class software development facilities in India. Offshore Strategic Sourcing with ElcoSoft is very different from traditional outsourcing models. With ElcoSoft, you don't give up control and you can dramatically reduce your costs and IT headaches. ElcoSoft's approach to outsourcing can also substantially improve IT effectiveness and help organizations achieve strategic business goals. '''Fixed-Price Model''' ---- Our fixed time, fixed price model offers customers a low-risk option and can be employed when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear. This model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects. Deliverables, Costs and Timelines are clearly defined in the Fixed Time/Fixed Price model. In fixed time, fixed-price engagements. ElcoSoft follows a phased approach that includes scoping, development, implementation and business support. Combining the fixed time, fixed price model with our solutions center, we can offer customers a tremendous advantage on the cost front. This model works best for - Customers with well-defined requirements and project schedules. Under this option, the customer pays a pre-negotiated fixed price for the complete project, which in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables. For any change in scope a predefined fixed hourly rate agreed at the initial stage of start of project is paid. For any changes there is a standard change request procedure that is followed for which we have structured processes in place. '''Time and Material Model''' ---- When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project are not easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model becomes an attractive option. Under this model, you pay as per use of the hourly development efforts. Under this mode we define the business model and work hand in hand with our client for execution of end-to-end project. At times once the scope is frozen the time and material project also gets converted to the fixed price model. We have very strict project management and reporting practices whereby task sheets are generated on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project. In this business model, ElcoSoft forms project teams with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on project requirements. Customers pay a monthly charge based on the size and composition of the team. This model offers the flexibility to balance team size and project workloads. Most of our onsite services (unless it is part of a fixed time, fixed price project) are delivered using this business model. ElcoSoft could bid for partial phases of a project on a fixed time, fixed price basis and the remaining parts on a time and material basis. In such engagements, the Client has complete flexibility in using our associates in tasks that match their area of expertise. ElcoSoft provides knowledgeable, skilled, motivated, energetic and competent consultants who work seamlessly as part of client teams to provide quality solutions. Our consultants are handpicked after assessing their technical, communication and interpersonal skills. We keep our consultants on the cutting edge of information technology by providing them with ongoing advanced training and skill-building workshops. '''Hybrid Model''' ---- very often it becomes necessary to undertake a major portion of a project on a Fixed Price basis and at the same time deploy resources on a Time and Materials Pricing basis. We call this the hybrid model. Adopting such a model enables the client to maximize their budgets without compromising any aspect of the project itself. Needless to mention here that this model too can be Onsite, Offsite, Offshore or any combination of the same. This model is used when client wishes to work on fixed price model and when the project scope is not detailed enough to enable us to estimate the effort with accuracy. Based on the initial concept note we define a short initial. '''Dedicated Development Center Model''' ---- A Dedicated development center, which is an extension of the customer's software engineering facility, is popular among customers, who are looking at long-term gains from offshore outsourcing. In this model ElcoSoft reserves resources, equipment and infrastructure, exclusively for the customer. While such a model is normally for a pre-determined minimal period of time, it allows the client to leverage the talent pool of ElcoSoft , the cost effectiveness of such an offering and superiority of our Project Management. We jointly identify and define the team along with our customer and have full transparency, access and control on the team along with our customer whereby the dedicated team works as extension of the customers' development team. We have successfully implemented this concept for more than 70 software product companies across the globe thereby enabling them to obtain a sustainable advantage over their competition and providing them possibilities of supernormal savings in their development costs. We partner with our clients to invest in replicating their IT environments, training our teams, setting up communication & security systems and integrating our development processes with theirs to ensure that the offshore team is an efficient and seamless extension of the client's development facilities. We also invest in creating a pool of additional resources who can be used to augment the team at any time. In addition this system optimizes employee productivity and charges Clients with attractive long-term rates and you can realize what we offer to our clients on a long-term basis. In India, we can establish and manage dedicated offshore development centers to develop IT solutions, maintain legacy systems, and provide 24-hour, on-call support. This model works best for Software Product Development Usually this model works best for software product companies for whom we setup end-to-end development and support facility working as extension of client’s team. '''Existing Overseas Software Development Houses''' ---- We setup extension of client teams in India for IT companies globally. In this model also we work with a dedicated team. '''Dynamically Changing Scope Requirements''' ---- For clients who are in dynamic industries and scope of work keeps on changing even while we develop the application this model works best as we don’t go back and forth for every change request that gets specified. For clients who wish to associate with us for long term this is the best model where savings ranging upto 70% on costs can be achieved. '''Geospatial Intelligence''' ---- * Geospatial data Intelligence applications * Desktop GIS Applications * Web based GIS Applications * Maps on Demand applications * Map editing Applications * Cartography * Geospatial database design & development * GIS Photogrammetry * Terrestrial Laser scanning * Digital Surveying * Remote Sensing * GIS data Conversion * Aerial Image Processing * Thematic Mapping * Asset Mapping for Petrochemical Plants * Topographic Mapping * Utility Mapping * Parcel Mapping * Contour Mapping * Automated Mapping (AM) /Facilities Mapping (FM) * Spatial Analysis and 3D Modeling * Polygonal mesh modeling * NURBS surfacing * Digitization/ Vectorization '''Enterprise Business Intelligence''' ---- * Business Intelligence Virtualization * Enterprise Project Management Solution developed around your organization’s Project Management practices and processes, tailor made * Enterprise level solutions like CRM, Business Process and Document Management Systems, etc. * Web based Enterprise Content Management System * Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) * Inventory Tracking Solutions * Wireless Order Entry Solution '''Solutions Intelligence''' ---- * Control System and Automation * Embedded Programming * Systems Engineering * DirectX applications using VC++ Embedded applications * Systems Software Programming like hardware simulation software, operating systems, device drivers, firmware, etc * Mobile and GPS based applications * Systems for rapid network recovery after failure * Spam Filtering applications * Data-centre applications '''New/Outsource Product Development''' ---- '''The Elcosoft Edge''' Elcosoft Pvt Ltd is an Outsourced Product Development firm committed to helping our customers build software products better and faster.

That’s as true for the applications your customers see as for those that power your company’s financials or facilities. Today on average 40% of IT project budgets are allocated to testing. While the benefits of testing are well-understood, IT organizations still struggle to test software efficiently and effectively. Yet few enterprises ever dedicate enough to software testing and quality assurance. As many as 44% of companies approach major software testing as an afterthought — once all the coding is done.
