We specialize in software product development for ISV’s and we have relationship models that are customized to the requirements of our customers, which range from start-ups to established companies.

Customer-Managed DDU Model
This model works for established ISVs. CTE provides an India-based unit that operates as a physical extension of the client’s information services department. The client directly controls the offshore team and takes full responsibility for product delivery. The offshore team works with the client’s development team to provide support for product development on a long-term basis.

The benefits of the Customer-Managed DDU Model include:

This model works for start up ISVs. Even established ISVs, however, can opt for this model, depending on their requirements. CTE helps the start-up companies that might have dynamically-evolving requirements and those that need testing across multiple platforms. CTE takes responsibility for managing infrastructure, facilities, resources, communication, and any other prerequisites of the offshore engagement. We deliver the product with minimum setup time and optimum resource usage, at the most advantageous cost.

Through this model, CTE works closely with clients and takes on responsibilities ranging from product design, development, and testing to product release and ongoing support.

The benefits of the CTE-Managed DDU Model include:
• Reduced cost of product development
• Flexible, on-demand model
• End-to-end solution

Build/Operate/Transfer (BOT) Model
CTE’s clients can convert the offshore development center into a wholly-owned subsidiary by exercising the BOT option. CTE has successfully leveraged its experience and expertise in outsourced software product development by evolving a successful BOT model that has emerged as a perfect business solution for many of our clients. After a certain period of time, our team becomes highly proficient in our customers’ business, which enables a smooth integration into the clients’ projects through common tools and frameworks.

The benefits of the BOT Model include:
• Dedicated development team with domain experts
• Access to our tried and tested development tools and frameworks
• Flexible, on-demand model

Managed Subsidiary Model
The Managed Subsidiary model is ideal for companies that want to start their own subsidiary in India. CTE takes on the responsibility of setting up the Indian subsidiary with the required infrastructure, facilities, and talent. CTE also provides the necessary legal and secretarial support for setting up the new subsidiary.

The benefits of the Managed Subsidiary Model include:
• Dramatic cost savings
• Faster time to market
• Excellent productivity
• Hassle-free setup
