Extended Development Center

Leverage Symphony's Global Delivery Model to achieve your goals with a partner that acts as an extension of your team

 

What is an Extended Development Center?

In the Extended Development Center (EDC) model Symphony onboards and manages a group of talented technology professionals handpicked to meet its clients specific business objectives. Symphony orients and trains the team for the client and its various initiatives, and manages the facility, hardware, software, network support, and benefits so that clients can focus solely on the business objectives while only paying a low, fully loaded monthly cost. This turnkey extension of a client’s engineering team often lowers costs by offloading specific tasks that would otherwise tie up key company resources and shift focus away from other core duties.

The EDC model works for any step in the product life cycle

  • New Product Development

  • New Features & Functionality

  • Technology Platform Modernization

  • Verification & Validation

  • Debugging

  • Levels 0-3 Help Desk Support

Benefits to Symphony’s EDC Model

Mature Processes

Symphony has been assessed at CMMi Level 4 for process maturity, and its clients benefit from a high degree of predictability in outcomes.

Lower Costs

Symphony’s global delivery model often saves clients 40% on resource costs, and potentially much more due to improved speed to market and more appropriate allocation of a client’s own development resources.

Specialization → Efficiency

Symphony’s clients have found that using a trusted partner for key tasks like verification and validation save time and money versus completing those tasks on their own.

Turnkey But Flexible Solution

Perhaps the most important aspect to the EDC model is how easy it is to manage. Clients can be hands-off, or they can step in as desired to influence staffing decisions to meet their needs.
