		Operate
		Manage the offshore organization: Program Management, Development, QA, maintenance, enhancements, and product support.
		Transfer
		Register a new offshore subsidiary for the customer, transfer assets, and handover operations.



	Applicability
	This model is perfectly suitable to organizations that are planning to setup an offshore development facility in India and would like to leverage the strengths of existing software organizations in helping them in the process. This model obviates the need for organizations to get acclimatized with local issues in setting up an offshore development facility.



	Process
	SPI acquires information regarding the size, complexity, technology and infrastructural needs of the operation. This information is evaluated and analyzed to decide the composition of the team and assets. SPI will also identify the physical assets needed in setting up the facility. SPI will source the needed personnel required to initiate the operations. SPI and the joint offshore facility will work together to establish processes, methodologies and quality standards to enable a quick transition and faster turnaround times. SPI is the lead in bringing the facility online and ramp up.



	Benefits
	The greatest advantage with this model is that it helps organizations setup offshore development centers in India in a quick and structured fashion while minimizing the risks associated with such initiatives. This model allows organizations to stay focused on their core activities and a fully operational development center that suits its needs is built in the background with all the attended legal & statutory needs.
