Consulting
Siri provides various consulting services to its clients to meet their
varying needs. Our services cater to both IT end users as well
as software makers.
Consulting
for IT End Users
Our
extensive experience in the field of software
engineering allows us to help you understand,
articulate, plan and execute your information
technology projects optimally.
Our
consulting teams typically consist of domain
experts, senior system architects, system
integration specialists and testing engineers,
all coordinated by thoroughbred business
analysts who align your IT initiatives with
your business goals.
Consulting
jobs are usually executed using the Onsite
Services business model, though projects
that also involve any software development
are executed on the Hybrid business model.
Consulting
Services for Software Makers
Being
a services company and having worked with
numerous product companies’ core technologies,
we have good expertise in working our clients’ customers
to understand their customization needs,
and carry out the required work offshore.
Since
consulting on products, platforms and technologies
typically can happen on either side of a
sale, we offer different kinds of services
for pre- and post-sales consulting.
Pre-Sales
Consulting
If
we are handling any of the client’s
core applications or technology, then senior
members of the technical team (from the client’s
offshore setup at Siri) are in the best position
to help the client’s sales team in
working with customers, to understand the
latter’s requirements, estimate efforts,
and handle all technical issues.
Teams
sent for pre-sales consulting typically also
have excellent business exposure to help
ensure that the sales opportunity is fully
explored and the maximum business derived
from it. Hence, these teams usually consist
of business analysts with good sales/pre-sales
experience.
Though
this service is usually offered on an Onsite
Services business model, we have also worked
on a revenue-sharing model with some clients,
wherein we share the costs of pursuing the
sales opportunity as well as the upsides.
Post-Sales
Consulting
One
of the most technical resource-draining activities
for a products company is post-sales consulting.
Since a solid knowledge of both the application,
or platform, and the underlying technology
is essential, it is usually the senior architects
who have to work with customers to ensure
that the best, and the right, solution is
being provided.
When
we work with software product makers on long
term engagements, they can capitalize on
our acquired knowledge of their products,
and our inherent technology strengths, to
supplement, or completely outsource, their
post-sales consulting needs.
This
not helps the client cut down on the costs
involved with maintaining a large in-house
technical team, but also allows its architects
and other senior employees to concentrate
on improving the core application or platform.
This service is especially valuable if Siri
is also handling the customization projects
for the client.
Post-sales
consulting is typically offered on an Onsite
Services business model.
