Choose a Flexible, Scalable Collaboration Approach That Aligns with Your Goals

At TechAbbot, we understand that every project is unique. That’s why we offer three proven software development engagement models designed to match the scale, complexity, and nature of your business requirements. Whether you're launching an MVP, scaling operations, or building a long-term digital product—our engagement models offer transparency, cost-efficiency, and flexibility.

1. Dedicated Development Team

Best For : Long-term, large-scale projects with evolving requirements

A Dedicated Team offers full-time, handpicked software experts assigned solely to your project. This model gives you complete control over the process while leveraging TechAbbot’s infrastructure, support, and technical management.

Benefits:

Full control over the team & processes

Lower hourly rates for long-term commitment

Seamless integration with your in-house team

Deep understanding of your project and goals

Transparent monthly pricing

2. Time & Material (T&M)

In this model, you only pay for the time and resources used. It offers the agility to scale efforts based on changing requirements and real-time market demands.

Benefits:

Quick project kickoff with minimal risk

Flexible resource allocation

Cost-effective for MVPs and iterative testing

Transparent billing based on hours or milestones

Adaptive to market shifts and feedback

3. Fixed Price

Perfect for POCs and well-defined software requirements

Scheduled delivery with predictable results

No hidden charges or surprises

4. Offshore Development Center (ODC)

Best For : Businesses looking to build long-term, cost-effective global teams

An Offshore Development Center is a dedicated extension of your in-house team, located at our overseas facilities. This model is ideal for companies aiming to scale quickly, reduce development costs, and gain 24/7 productivity across time zones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Engagment Models

1. Which engagement model is right for my project?

It depends on your project scope, budget, and timeline. If your requirements are well-defined, go for Fixed Price. If your project is dynamic or long-term, Dedicated Team or Time & Material may be a better fit. For enterprise-level needs, the Offshore Development Centre is ideal.

2. Can I switch from one engagement model to another during the project?

Yes, absolutely. TechAbbot offers flexible engagement models, and we can shift from one model to another based on your evolving needs — without disrupting your workflow.

3. Do I need to be technically involved when working with TechAbbot?

Not necessarily. While we encourage collaboration, our project managers and team leads can handle end-to-end development, reporting, and decision-making, so you can stay focused on your business priorities.

4. Is there a minimum duration or budget to start a project?

There’s no strict minimum, but depending on the engagement model, we recommend a discovery call to align expectations, timelines, and resource planning. We accommodate both short-term tasks and long-term partnerships.

5. What if my project scope is not yet clear?

If your requirements are still evolving, we recommend starting with the Time & Material model. It offers flexibility in planning, designing, and iterating without being locked into a fixed scope or timeline.

6. How secure is my data when working with offshore or remote teams?

At TechAbbot, we prioritize data security and IP protection. We sign NDAs, follow secure coding practices, and use encrypted channels for communication to ensure your data is safe and confidential.
