To meet the diverse requirements of our global clients, 3E offers several distinct project engagement and payment models.  By selecting the right combination of models we are able to ensure that our clients achieve their business needs with at an affordable price, quick delivery time and high profitability.
 
Man-hours & Materials Approach
This model works best for projects that are subject to specification changes midstream.  Due to the continuously evolving nature of market trends and user requirements, clients are given the opportunity to revise or redevelop business plans, by following an Man-hours and Materials Pricing Scheme.  In this model, fees billed to the client are directly associated with the resources and time deployed while working on the project.
 
Fixed Fees Approach
For clients with a definite project agenda and limited time, the Fixed Fees approach works best.  This method allows clients to monitor remote projects by paying in predefined milestones to tangibly track work progress.
 
Dedicated Resources 
Clients in need of continuous offshore support can minimize costs by hiring a Dedicated Resource on a retainer basis.  These dedicated developers will function as an extension of the client’s development centre on our offshore premises. 
 
Strategic Partner Group (SPG)
This model offers clients dedicated resources both on-site and offshore, for all their design and development needs.  This model therefore helps to achieve long term objectives of the client in an integrated work culture environment. 
The SPG is intended to supplement and integrate with the client’s existing infrastructure, to improve productivity and minimize risks.  The SPG is particularly advantageous as the combination of on-site and offshore resources allows for a 24x7 work hour cycle.
 
Off shore Development Centre (ODC)
The ODC model constitutes a long term relationship between the client and 3E towards shared mutually beneficial goals.  Here the client guarantees fixed workflow for a fixed number of resources for a fixed period of time.  The client then defines the skill levels required from its offshore partner and projects resources to retain or procure the same.

  Individuals (Hire a single or multiple resources)
