Our Approach
In order to carry through your outsourcing process, Pentalog offers an approach centered on the respect of quality procedures which contributes to the respect of the legislation in force in the field.
Pivot mission: one or several business consultants take over the functional and technical component of the project. This step is essential for preparing the collaboration between your local teams and our outsourced teams. It consists in setting up through a service quality plan the deployment of development, maintenance, configuration, assistance or support activities.
Operations are carried out either on your site or in our centers: by strictly observing the rules defined in the service quality plan, we develop our projects in complete transparency (presentation of KPIs in each steering committee) and by observing the commitments taken through the definition of SLAs (also presented in the steering committees).
Reversibility: at the end of maintenance, the project manager defines an end of maintenance plan which includes among others the training of your teams and a precise planning for reinternalizing your software.
For developments or software reengineering, we follow all the steps of a V cycle. Our consultants adapt the same approach that allows the traceability of the process from start to finish: from expressing the needs to assistance and validation. All our fixed-price services are provided with a guarantee that is proportional to the size of the project.
