SMART Resourcing

 

Quindell SMART Resourcing

In today’s highly competitive and highly dynamic environment, there is a critical need for resourcing that is cost effective, flexible and expert. Quindell Enterprise Solutions SMART resourcing division was founded on the expertise and experience of our management team who have been delivering IT professional services to Fortune 1000 global companies for over 20 years. 

Best Practice Human Resource Management and Service Delivery Methodology have been combined with a strong understanding of the global market place to provide a resource management service that is SMART:

 

Specific * Measurable * Achievable * Relevance * Timely

 

Specific: Domain specific experts that have been professionally vetted by our resource consultants and background references undertaken.  A full reference profile is provided.

 

Measurable: Our resources can be provided on a day basis or as a team delivery basis whereby performance criteria can be agreed and contracted.

 

Achievable: A detailed scope of work is required for all of our engagements.  It is important for us to maintain high standards of client feedback and therefore it is critical that we correctly match resource capability to the scope of work.

 

Relevance: In addition to domain expertise matching, we also consider other important factors to ensure a successful delivery outcome.  These include industry familiarity, language and soft skills such as presentation/speaking, report writing and problem solving skills. Another key factor we consider proactively is the current and future demands of the placement in respect of travelling requirements and longevity of the placement.

 

Timely: Ideally, we like to work with our clients many months in advance of a resourcing requirement.  However, we also recognize the realities of a dynamic world where resources are required at very short notice.  Our SMART-R resource management system therefore tracks the availability of not only our own internal global consulting resources, but also the availability of a wide base of approved and vetted resources.

Off-shore Resourcing

Off-shore resourcing strategic can provide further scope to increase cost efficiencies whilst at the same time providing access to a growing number of high quality CMM level 5 delivery centers.  However, the path to cost efficiency can be problematic for those organizations that do not have the experience and expertise of the offshore model.

SMI Technologies’ SMART Resourcing division benefits from over twelve years experience of working with off-shore companies to provide global resourcing and off-shore delivery center capability to Fortune 1000 companies.  It is fair to say that during that time, the delivery methods have steadily improved and the cultural barriers eroded so that off-shore cost efficiency goals and quality of service can truly co-exist.

Partnership reformed in the mid-nineties with a number of companies in India form the backbone of SMI Technologies’ offshore resourcing capabilities. From these, we are able to augment our on-shore resourcing capability with off-shore cost efficient resourcing and delivery centre options.

SMART principals still apply and in some respects are more critical given the specific nature of the off-shore delivery model.
