Enable a Future-Ready Global Enterprise with a Core-Flex Model

global-enterprise-corex-model

Business enterprises across the globe are facing common challenges of unpredictability in their business environment, augmented client expectations, technology upgrades. As the business grows, a company’s QA needs do not grow in the same linear fashion. There are peaks and valleys in staffing needs. Businesses that try to manage these needs with internal staffing solutions encounter  challenges such as

– Overstaffing during the valleys – resulting in wasted cost
– Understaffing during the peak – longer time to market, resulting in lost opportunity
– Pulling non-QA resources into to QA – resulting in opportunity cost (i.e. not doing the other work) and a dip in quality as they are not professional testers
– Trying to manage with contractors – resulting in higher training costs and brain drain because as soon as you invest in training someone, the contract ends.  On the next peak, you end up with a different resource, resulting in the need to train a new resource.

Core-Flex Model: The Solution

An independent software testing provider helps clients solve the above challenges with a Core-Flex model. A Core-flex model consists of a dedicated core team that provides business knowledge and process continuity and flex teams that enable rapid scalability to support real-world business dynamics. Implementing a Core-Flex model with an independent QA partner allows companies to maximize productivity of QA and optimize QA expenditures.  In addition, the client can “plug and play” resources with niche skills (performance, big data, API, accessibility, multi-lingual) when needed and roll those resources off when they are not.
