Benefits for Executives and Managers

Dynamic Outsourcing is format to offer competitive advantage. Your product can stand out with a short cycle and constant delivery to the market. Minimizing bugs, rework and other types of waste, the development costs are controlled. There are researches that associate the IT projects inefficiency with the low profit of the companies. These are the benefits for who is in the role of maximizing the product's ROI.

	Competitive Advantage	Internal development	Other Outsourcings	Dynamic Outsourcing
	Service price	Low	Medium	Medium
		Rarely low assertive factors, bugs, risks, delays and rework are added to the overall value of the investment.	The measurement of the value/time of the outsourcing is rarely done the right way, as low assertive factors, bugs, risks, delays and rework are not added to the overall value of the investment.	OnCast's competitive advantage is the final comparative of the planned project with the accomplished one.
	Project costs	High	High/Medium	Low
		Internal projects are not usually projected with precise deadlines. The scopes are not usually assertive. The cost of rework and maintenance are not often calculated.	Documentation excess, distant communication, delayed tests, bad prioritizing and long delivery cycles, are variables that increase the project costs.	The predictability of costs makes Dynamic Outsourcing the best choice. The best quality has strong influence on the cost reduction.
	Delivery cycles	Long	Long	Short
		The commitment with cycles and deadlines are usually lower than on outsourcing.	Delivery is done just at the end of the overall project.	At the end of each iteration, which usually varies from 2 to 4 weeks, the delivery of a ready software is done.
	Speed	Generally unknown	Low	High and measurable
		The speed is not usually measured. As well as the lack of that information, not being aware of it's speed can make any project unsafer.	Traditionally, the estimate of a project is made as a whole, there isn't therefore, speed distinction for the development of something simple ore more complex.	The Dynamic Outsourcing team knows its production speed, being able to meet deadlines with more precision.
	Delay Risk	Generally high	Generally high	Very low
		The development teams and the project manager are rarely focused in only one project, which usually loads on the deadline.	In general, the visibility on the advance is quite low throughout the project. The lack of information increases the risk of delays.	The project risks are the first to be tackled, visibility is constant and there is attention to the estimates. OnCast fights against the software project delay's reputation.
	Responses to changes	Fast with costs	Slow	Fast
		The changes are attended immediately, although the costs are not usual accounted on the overall project.	The Client has little if not no visibility during the projects execution, there after the necessary changes are only suggested in the end, generating delays and quality loss.	The short and constant cycle of iterations, the freedom of prioritizing and the software engineering techniques, allow the response to the changes quickly and at low cost.
	ROI	Generally postponed	Postponed	Anticipated
		Usually the Delivery cycle and the response time to changes are longer, delaying the investment return.	After a lot of effort on documentation and development, the software can be implanted, with assertiveness and unreliable quality.	Delivery of software working on the iteration deadline. The product is likely to be launched with only 20% of the functionalities that generate 80% of it's value (Pareto Law).

Benefits to Project Managers

Are you looking for a more efficient management to your projects? With clear visibility on the project position, your decisions and priorities will be more assertive. Moreover, the high collaboration and the adoption of the best software engineering techniques allow a more efficient attendance to the changes. Check what having real control of the project's course means:

	Management	Internal Development	Other Outsourcing	Dynamic Outsourcing
	Management	Medium	Low	High
		Difficulties on exclusive dedication to a project and uncertain visibility also decreases the management power.	The management ability without constant and precise visibility is illusory.	Constant and precise visibility, prioritizing power and short cycles increase your project management potential.
	Visibility	Uncertain	Low	High
		Without automated tests and continuous integration it is uncertain to confirm the real position of the project.	Visibility in the beginning and surprises in the end.	At the Dynamic Outsourcing you will have daily and precise visibility of the project. We are 36% away from our goal. On schedule! Functionalities ready: A, B and C; on course: X and Y".
	Priority	Relative	Low	High
		Due to easy access of the development team, it's not unusual to have interferences on the prioritizing process.	Inefficient prioritizing due to the low collaboration, long delivery cycles and adherence to change.	With working software in the end of each iteration and prioritizing power, the product can be launched, for example, with only 20% of functionalities which generates 80% of the value (Pareto Law).
	Communication and Collaboration	Very high	Low	High
		With internal development, contact is direct and faster.	Communication usually occurs on a high degree at hiring and scope definition. After this stage communication is once more effective only in the end of the project, usually, too late.	An open communication channel between the development team and the users, which allows feedbacks, offering a punctual and continuous improvement.
	Bureaucracy	None	High	Low
		Little ceremony to start, conduct and finalize the projects. Changes on the project's scope can be attended straight away by the development team, however with a cost.	A change on the scope means the review the whole documentation effort and contract negotiation.	OnCast limits itself to present the necessary documentation, having its focus on development and constant improvement of the software with high collaboration.
	Agility	Medium	None	High
		Although the complete control of the development team, employing traditional methodologies, no methodology at all, or even incomplete agile methodologies.	Application of traditional methodologies or absence of a methodology.	Many successful cases on the adoption of the main agile technologies: eXtreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Lean Software Development.
	Management tools	-	Usually traditional	Agile under measure
		-	Traditional management tools don't consider the empirical aspects of the software projects, absent on civil construction projects, for example.	The partnership with VersionOne allows OnCast to employ a tool that is market leader. For more information, click here.

Benefits to IT Managers

Keeping legacy codes is one of worries of every IT Manager. Dynamic Outsourcing offers reduced maintenance cost. Less bugs reduce the corrective maintenance needs, although simplicity and automated tests will ease the work when they are needed. Analyze the reasons of hiring OnCast:

	Software Quality	Internal Development	Other Outsourcings	Dynamic Outsourcing
	Assertiveness	Relative	Low	High
		Depending on the employment of techniques as such as automated tests and continuous integration, as well as the team's know-how.	The low visibility of the client over the software development can generate great project deviations.	In the end of each development short cycle a working software is delivered and the feedbacks are gathered. Any adjustment can be programmed at the next iteration.
	Simplicity	Relative	Deficiency	High
		Depending on the attitude and know-how of the developers on the technologies (software architecture and design patterns).	It is usual to have little or no documentation on board, uncompromising architectures and messy programming.	Application of development techniques that complement the agile thinking, as such as domain driven design and agile modeling.
	Maintenance	Cost not measured	High cost	Low cost
		Evaluate the hidden costs. The legacy cost of the big technology companies is equivalent to the stock of industries: fast trade, or you money will be invested badly.	Without automated tests each bug correction requires a new test battery. Complex coding and superfluous documentation, can increase your headache.	Clear code, documentation on board, automated tests and evolving architecture result on easy management software and it encourages its evolution.
	Documentation	Relative	Excessive	Sufficient
		In general, the documentation follows patterns in between projects, although it is not always align to the strategic maintenance needs and visibility over the software.	In some cases, the documentation is the base of communication on a project management originating the famous "wireless phone".	Besides the richness of the documentation on board and accomplishment, the agile documentation employed is much more effective and is always updated with the project’s evolution.
	Know-how	Specialized on the business	-	Technology
		Your internal development team has a know-how specialized on your core-business.	-	OnCast's core business is technology. Keep focused on your core business and leave the technology to our specialists.
	Automated tests	Generally no	Generally no	Yes
		Not many companies have teams employing, effectively, automated tests.	Not many companies have teams employing, effectively, automated tests.	OnCast delivers the test code together with the software code. Your tests can be done with only one click on the key, making the test practice natural and preventing bugs.
	Bugs incidence	High / Not measured	High	Low
		In the internal development the costs with bugs are rarely measured. The bug correction ends up being inserted on the daily activities.	Every software is liable to bugs, without the efficient application of tests (check automated tests), the incidence of bugs increases exponentially.	Minimized bugs consequent of automated tests, continuous integration and sustainable development (Sustainable Pace).
	Continuous integration	No	No	Yes
		Not many companies have integrated continuous processes integrated to automated tests.	Not many companies have integrated continuous processes integrated to automated tests.	The continuous integration with automated tests secures the consistent permanence of codes, being carried out many times a day. More.
