Faichi Solutions proposes setting up an offshore development center (ODC) in India for a California-based client that develops interactive whiteboard technology. The client faces challenges around team expansion, engagement models, and technical expertise. Faichi recommends a cost-plus ODC model where the client has full control and flexibility over hiring, resources, culture and more. This model provides transparency into costs with no hidden fees. The outcome was a cohesive team using Agile methods to develop modules aligned with the client's business needs.
