About Us

Engagement Models

One size engagement model does not fit all

Orases has three types of engagement models depending on the project, resources and timeframes

Our team works with three major engagement models depending on the wants and needs of your project:
Fixed Price, Time & Material and Dedicated Team models.

Why Choose Orases

Adjustable and
client-oriented engagement models
3 options to
pick from

one icon

Fixed Price Model

When using the fixed price model, the development process closely follows the time and cost estimates based on the scope of the project, allowing for a clear understanding of the project expectations.

two icon

Time & Material Model

The time & material engagement model allows for the projects to be built first, and then the cost is based on the time, labor and resources invested into the project after full completion and acceptance.

three icon

Dedicated Team Model

If your organization selects the dedicated team model, several developers at Orases will work exclusively on your project and the project cost will be based on hourly utilization rates as opposed to one large bill.

Fixed Price Model

You determine the budget and we begin working

The Orases team will build and develop the project according to the details provided by the client. The scope and budget of the project are defined and fixed during this model. Once they have been determined, the deadlines are set and the development starts.

How does it work?

Orases discusses the project in detail with the primary stakeholders, and we identify the team members who will be best for the project.

Our specialists will report directly to the client, as they will be in charge of managing and controlling the team’s efforts. However, Orases will oversee the project and intervene if the project is behind schedule.

When is it best used?

The details and specifications of the project will not be changed before release.

Project documentation is extensively planned and readily available to all parties.

There are strict deadlines or a limited budget that cannot change mid-development.

What are its benefits?

Software is developed exactly as planned, minimizing risks of delays or mid-sprint changes.

Pricing is transparent and the budget will not be increased as it is defined before development.

Specifications are clearly defined, eliminating any potential misunderstanding or disagreements.

two icon

Time & Material Model

We get started and the track hours along the way

With the time & material engagement model, billing is calculated based on the actual man-hours worked and time invested into development, including the costs of materials and use of equipment. The flexibility of this type of model is ideal for clients whose time and resource needs change.

How does it work?

Once we receive an overview of the project, our team begins on the project without needing to know the exact time and material requirements. Billing is based on man-hours and equipment usage throughout the project.

When is it best used?

When a rough draft of the project has been laid out and specific time requirements have not been established.

The requirements and specifications of the project consistently change and evolve throughout the duration of the project.

Deadlines have not been clearly established

What are its benefits?

As opposed to a fixed time model, the time & material model leads to lower costs.

Increased workflow agility – project feature priorities are easily changed, including the addition of adding new features within the set budget amount.

Flexibility of schedule is increased – project deadlines can easily be moved and adjusted when needed.

Risk of not meeting expectations are reduced – the process of the project is completely clear and transparent and payments are made when certain features and functionality are met and developed.

three icon

Dedicated Team Model

Dedicated team working with you from start to finish

Our team of specialists work hand in hand with your team, dedicated to working and finishing your project. The project is billed based on the individual hourly rates of our specialists tasked to work on your project.

How does it work?

The client provides us with a list of general project requirements, and we assigned individual specialists to work with your team who can complete the project most efficiently and effectively.

The client has complete management and control of the team, including our specialists who are assigned to the projects team. We are responsible for the overall quality of the project and services provided and will step in when necessary.

When is it best used?

When the project is well thought-out and the requirements of the project are well-defined

When the client already has a team of specialists who are able to properly manage the processes of software development

What are its benefits?

The client has full control over the projects budget and the progress of the project

No need to allocate time and resources towards vetting and hiring specialists for the project. Team of proven specialists at the clients’ disposal when working on and completing projects.

Effective Engagement Model Project Organization

Regardless of what type of engagement model is chosen, our dedicated specialists at Orases guarantee your project will be completed more effectively and efficiently than anyone else on the market.

Project Planning & Reporting

At Orases, we believe in complete project transparency. We keep our clients in the loop by providing consistent progress reports and timelines of feature completion dates.

This transparency assists both Orases and our clients with the ability to provide continuous feedback and an open line of communication when certain features or functionality requires additional information or clarification.

Our client relationships go beyond technology.
