| The Technology |
| |
| The Virtual Team Configurator: This is the lifeline of the Delta Platform. This Configurator allows Netlink to set-up and manage a project based on the input constraints and parameters of the project. |
| |
|
 |
Input constraints are 'size of the project', 'complexity of the project', 'previous similar project experience', 'time to delivery' resource availability', 'technology', 'workflow needs' etc. |
 |
This Configurator then configures the make-up of the virtual team (Local and offshore), their roles and their relationships within the development process. |
| |
|
This setting of the project uses virtual team principles of efficiency factors, time difference and cultural alignment with a role focus. This configuration usually results in a higher local content for resources that is then balanced by efficiency gain and pre-built technology reuse. The Configurator also proposes the optimum mix of pre-built technology reuse from the Enablers. |
