�Clients are increasingly interested in looking to create a hybrid outsourcing model that incorporates a combination of off-shore, on-shore and multiple-tier partners that can be counted on,� said Dan O�Connor President and CEO.

�We�ve seen an increase in the requests for solutions that incorporate Paragon�s US-based project management team and the Bangalore, India development team. We anticipate continued growth for our outsourcing competency, as companies continue to respond to competitive cost pressures and look for delivery alternatives.� 

Outsourcing - A Flexible Delivery Model

Paragon�s Flexible Delivery Model balances business risk and low-cost resources utilization to deliver on-time, cost competitive solutions. The next generation of outsourcing has emerged as a priority for businesses looking for better options in managing their application portfolios. The first wave offered low-cost, off-shore development labor, but today firms are demanding new, less risky options for applications that are strategic, complex, or mission-critical, while still taking cost into consideration. By offering our clients a dual-shore integrated delivery model with US-based management teams, Paragon can reduce a client's overall project cost and risk. Supported by a fully-owned facility in Bangalore, India, Paragon can deliver the cost-competitive quality that is demanded by the marketplace.

Three-Tiered Support

Paragon�s three-tiered support structure delivers resources onsite, off-site at a Paragon location and off-shore. The composition of these resources includes strategic specialists (such as engagement managers and architects), subject matter experts (such as wealth management), and delivery (such as developers, QA). The distribution of these resources is flexible and dependent upon the client�s needs, which means that Paragon will put the most critical business and project knowledge and expertise where most needed.

Client Relationship Manager

Part of the strategic resources team at the client�s site includes a dedicated Relationship Manager to serve as a liaison between the client and Paragon resources. The Relationship Manager facilitates communication and collaboration between the teams and serves as a pivotal function during knowledge transfer.

On-Call Industry, Business and Service Line Resources

Paragon has invested in growing practices in financial services, insurance, telecommunications and pharmaceutical as well as service lines in content management, data management, and Web services. These practices and service lines are staffed by senior industry and technology professionals, many of whom have worked for industry-leading firms. These resources can be made available for milestones or deliverables.
