MindSource offers fixed bid project based solutions to meet specific managed services or advanced engagement requirements. Many clients are moving from standard hourly staffing to a mixed mode that offers an hourly staffing solution with discrete project management functions.

Fixed-bid projects are appropriate for larger engagements of twenty five man months or more, where a specific scope of work has been created and the work product is sufficiently separate from the core focus of the business unit. Often, fixed bid projects are appropriate when the service in question is transitory such as upgrades or migrations.

Mixed-mode managed services allows the vendor more flexibility in meeting the final deliverables and is preferred for projects that cannot be thoroughly scoped but which the client has a sufficiently well-developed framework to benchmark progress on an ongoing basis. Our project management team off-loads specific project functions such as reporting, overseeing sub tasks such as quality assurance and team coordination, and management. The flexibility of mixed-mode managed services means that the client manager is relieved of the tedium of management and our team can work closely with the team to add or reshape the resource requirements at at every project milestone.
