Overview
Global Development Center (GDC) is a dedicated pool of specialized resources that acts as a virtual extension of your own software development centers.

GDC, with its pool of specially trained resources, well designed infrastructure, proven and time-tested processes, is the most beneficial outsourcing delivery model with a compelling value proposition for your businesses looking at IT services outsourcing.

These centers enhance your comfort and expand our engagement capabilities to provide a wider range of services such as business consulting and technology architecture that involve high levels of client interaction over shorter engagement spans.

Birlasoft's Capability and Maturity
At the onset, Birlasoft’s senior consultants work with you to set up the policies and draw a guideline for the proposed Global Development Center. Birlasoft has a strong pool of consultants, having domain expertise in – Banking and Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Telecom, Travel, e-Governence, Utility, and Retail.

Birlasoft’s HR wing will extend its arms to set up a HR section in the GDC, which will work only for you under your instruction. Birlasoft will facilitate this section with its expertise of local market and culture. This HR section will have a strong global talent search wing and experienced policy makers, who will be responsible for employee satisfaction and reducing attrition rate.

The GDC is responsible for resolving all technical and business issues that come up and may impact the parent company's worldwide functioning and workflows. Birlasoft is well-equipped with established processes, standards and templates to handle any issues or requirements. Birlasoft has established Centers of Excellence(COE) for all its service offerings. The COE enables development of solution framework templates, preservation of valuable knowledge assets, sharing of best practices and delivering cost effective results. All GDCs are able to share this huge knowledge base and best practices, providing you with reduced time and costs. Birlasoft follows time-tested foolproof project management methodology to minimize your risk. This Six Sigma-based DFSS Methodology provides a high rate of success. Birlasoft also uses Digital Project Management Office (PMO) through which you may track and check the status of your project remotely from any location. Birlasoft will set up a Quality Department in the GDC that will take care of all the quality-related issues and keep you updated. Birlasoft’s own Quality Council will constantly monitor and measure quality of the GDC as a whole.

Security is always a concern when outsourcing. Birlasoft will equip the Offshore Development Center with commercial strength firewalls and VPNs (site-to-site/remote access) for e-security, physical security, including identity cards using contactless readers for verification and a virus-protected and hack-resistant network at multiple levels. Being a BS7799 and SAS70 certified organization, Birlasoft follows a strict audit schedule and maintains audit trails to keep data/information secured. As an extension of your organization, Birlasoft will establish a separate data security group for the GDC, who will manage security audits per your requirements.

Birlasoft follows a number of typical global delivery models and will establish one that meets your requirements and choice of software development center. A core group will coordinate the global delivery.
