For every work a contract is signed. The
contract will include general terms and
conditions, such as:
-Confidentiality agreement;
-Transfer of all intellectual property rights
to the customer;
-General liabilities of the parties;
Besides, for every type of the contract
additional documents can be incorporated.
Fixed-Price Contracts
This type of contract means that the software
project in question is described in the
available documentation in sufficient detail,
thus enabling Intellect to estimate the scope and
complexity of the project and to provide a
fixed price. In this case, the technical
documentation, the project delivery schedule
and the final price are stipulated in the
contract.
When the project scope cannot be precisely
envisioned at the moment (e.g. when a project
lasts several years), another model is used:
Time & Material-based Contracts
For projects, in which the scope of work can
vary during the project implementation, a time
& material contract is signed.
Offshore Staffing
This type of contract is used only for
projects that require offshore staffing. Under
this contract Intellect is only responsible for
providing the customer with team of profiled
specialists and the required
infrastructure/equipment. These employees are
then under complete supervision and management
of the customer, and can be considered as
customer's team working offshore, in India.
The customer is paying a flat rate for the
employees, which covers all overheads and
operating costs, while retaining exclusive
responsibility for the management of the team
and making effective use of the provided
specialists. |
