Tools and Management
Many of our very large customers are completely handled by our off shore teams – and the majority of these customers have stayed with us since day one. We have the full range of outstanding talent and resource types at our offshore facilities and our attrition rate is extremely low. We have a very selective hiring process in addition to excellent training and on boarding processes. We utilize a time-tested transition process to handoff a project to the offshore team.
Teklead also has well established processes for handling projects in multiple states and cities. We utilize tools that are available and used by all team members in all locations. In each location the team leads are specially trained to handle the required communications, transition, and work with the various teams across timezones. Since we have employees and consultants in several cities and states, we are able to dispatch them to remote locations as required with short notice.
The tools and processes we have in place reduce some of the challenges related to teams working in different geographies and timezones. We utilize web based conferencing tools and choose a mutually well suited time for the daily standups so that all resources in all timezones can participate.
