Shore10's processes are designed precisely to alleviate any apprehension you may have to a successful and enjoyable experience. In addition, Shore10 offers many benefits that aims to make take considerations of many of your concerns.

Legal and Financial Considerations

• Non Disclosure AgreementMany of Shore10's clients are companies with big ideas that rely on Shore10 to help realize the grand vision. Shore10 ensures that your secret is safely guarded. Shore10 signs a Non Disclosure Agreemnt (NDA) for each project. Additionally, all of Shore10's employees also sign a confidentiality agreement when joining the company.

• Contractual AgreementJust as Shore10 is involved in clearly defining the scope and specifications for each project, Shore10 also ensures the details are agreed upon by you and a contract is signed with all of the deliverables, pricing, and schedule clearly documented.
• Payment MilestonesShore10 makes it easy to trust by dividing payments into milestones. Besides a small deposit before project commencement, all payments are requested only after the milestone is completed and approved by you.

Communication Methodology

One of the prime reasons for failures in software outsourcing projects is communication failure. Differences in time zones, cultural differences, and lack of easily accessible real-time communication methods like the telephone make communication especially challenging. As a result, misunderstandings between the vendor and the client due to poor communication have caused many project failures.

Shore10's hybrid delivery model is especially designed to close this gap. Shore10's US-based engagement managers are highly skilled to communicate your exact requirements to the offshore teams. For each project, Shore10 ensure that you have

• Point of Contacts:For each phase of the project, Shore10 ensures you will always have a clear source of contact as your account executive where you can ask or find out any information needed about the project. In addition, Shore10 always ensures a back-up contact is available, in-case of emergencies or when the main contact is out of office.
• Regular Status Updates:The engagement manager or project manager for your project will frequently give you status updates or product demos regarding the progress of the project, and let you know of any potential issues early so that there are plenty of time to resolve them.

Besides having transparency of the project development process and opening a clear communication channel for you, Shore10 also ensures effective communication and information flow through the entire project team by utilizing several important management tools:

• Project Management Tool - Redmine: Shore10 utilizes the open source tool for project management that allows complete transparency of the progress of the project and exact accountability of each personnel involved in the project. Because Redmine is open source, Shore10 has extended it with many internal tools that allows even more granular tracking of progress
• Real-time Communication Tool - SkypeShore10 utilizes Skype to make conference calls with you or with the offshore teams to ensure the communication flows through instantly.
• Code Collaboration and Version Control - Subversion (SVN):To allow multiple software developers collaborate on the same codebase without conflicts, SVN is used as the central repository for all the project code and each software engineer is required to utilize its functions.
