Software General Contractors

Because TGA's analysts have a broad grasp of project requirements, TGA is in an excellent position to serve as the general contractor for enterprise application software projects of any size. In doing so, TGA assumes full responsibility for all deliverables in a project.

TGA finds the right person for the task. TGA has found that remote developers, such as those who work for our affiliates in India, deliver exceptional quality at considerable savings to our clients. But TGA will not compromise quality just to lower the initial cost. If the right expert is in St Louis, San Francisco, Chicago, London, or Paris, TGA finds the one who will get the job done.

TGA has become highly proficient in remote development. We manage the computer and human communications so that developers in India or other countries function as efficiently as a team working in the same city as our clients. Remote development requires diligent controls. We have found that, as all instructions must be in writing, specifications are clearer and more precise, resulting in better quality in the final product.

TGA account technologists are experts at managing remote development, but for a project that requires careful and extensive analysis -- where direct communication with the client is necessary -- TGA sends analysts directly to the client's location. Some projects require frequent onsite monitoring of progress during the development phases. In these cases, the account technologist visits or stays at your site to be sure that the stages of progress are clearly communicated. The account technologist also makes sure that the project(s) TGA is managing co-ordinate with your other development efforts. TGA's experience and method of approach minimize the face-time required, and we are conscientious about keeping travel expenses as low as possible.
