Build Operate Transfer Is The Next Big Thing In Offshoring
Companies looking to get involved in the international markets are embracing the build-operate-transfer (BOT)model. The BOT model is a form of an integrated partnership combining the design and construction responsibilities of design-build acquisitions with operations and maintenance. It lets you build an offshore team in the ‘build’ phase and put them for a preliminary test during the ‘operate’ phase. Once the team has adjusted to your company’s processes, tools, and methodologies, you can take full control of the team in the ‘transfer’ phase. BOT model gives you the leverage of trying before buying. That means you don’t need to invest much in your offshore unit until you are sure of its worth.
Build: It is the initial phase, including activities like defining the qualification requirements to the workforce. It includes everything ranging from distributing personnel recruitment procedure, approval of the reporting process, creation of infrastructure, and core team. This is also the phase where trust rapport between customer and contractor is formed, and the project is started.
Operate: This phase is where project management happens. It includes expanding the team as per the customers’ requirements while developing products or projects. Additionally, there is the implementation of processes to reach an ideal level of business maturity and technical abilities of the team. Also, the ‘operate’ phase encompasses the allocation of lead programmers and team leaders in the unit plus applicable costs are changed on an annual basis.
Transfer: it is the final phase where outsourcing partner transfers project ownership to the client. Although it’s only possible when your client is ready to take control of the project or the contract has ended. This phase includes a transfer of assets and some handover process.

- Cost efficiency:
Running a business is all about saving money, spending it, and gaining profits. That’s why the BOT model often helps in cutting costs in the best way possible. Since the project team is owned, managed, and operated by an offshore group, it saves as much as 60% of the standard cost. The funds saved can be used to help enrich and develop the company’s employees and recruiting more skillful resources.
- No risk in building a team:
There are risks associated with every business since every country faces issues at some point or another. So the BOT model helps in reducing the risks of being in a different country by diversifying investment for the investors. Since the outsourcing partners are already aware of the conditions of the country it’s operating on, they are prepared for possible problems that could arise during the team set up.
- Ability to scale rapidly:
Using the build-operate-transfer model, organizations can scale their operations quickly through a wide array of services, which in turn completes the business model.
- Faster time to market:
Having diverse resources in different locations or time zones help reducing time to market since the process cycle is almost 24/7. Since the development is uninterrupted, it doesn’t waste much time in a day. - Access to booming technologies:
Having an experienced team allows companies to introduce the latest technologies. And having access to these technologies can be an added advantage that often engages and retains members in the organization.
