Radicle offers
Advisory and
Implementation services in the following areas:
IT services. Radicle’s staff has extensive experience with software development
using Microsoft and Java based technologies. Consistent with our philosophy, we have a
flexible approach to software projects. Based on client needs, Radicle’s team will work
as part of a larger client team. Alternatively, Radicle also has experience in delivering
projects “soup to nuts”. That is, our teams work independently with Radicle committing
to specified project deliverables.
Business Process Outsourcing. With the ever increasing pressure to
increase the bottom line, business process outsourcing is fast catching up
in the health care industry. Other industries like finance and travel have
already taken the lead and moved their business processes offshore. Now is
the turn of the health care industry and accounting services industry. With the industry expertise and
offshore facilities, Radicle is very well positioned to help the healthcare
industry and accounting services industry to take the step to offshore business process outsourcing.
Global Development Approach. In keeping with industry trends, Radicle offers clients
the opportunity to leverage low-cost offshore development resources located at its
New Delhi, India offices. However, unlike other competitors, Radicle is a US centric
firm. That is, we do not propose offshore development as a panacea for all ills.
Rather, our approach is to propose a development approach that is consistent with the
client’s view of risk-reward and specific project needs. As an example, a client
embarked on a fast track project where completion date was at significant risk. Radicle
recommended that the complete project be implemented by its on shore teams. Similarly,
for other projects where the client was more concerned about budget and project
deliverables were better defined, Radicle has successfully performed development
offshore.
In our experience, even where development is performed offshore, a critical ingredient
for success is to ensure that the Define phase and the Technical Architecture component
of the Design phase are performed onshore, as is the Project Management task. Thus,
rather than throw a project across the ocean, Radicle’s approach is to leverage offshore
resources judiciously, using its methodology and senior, onshore project managers to
tightly control project progress and deliverables.
