EBET Methodology


In a detailed study conducted by NASSCOM of 249 midsize ISVs with less than $100M in annual revenues, the net margin was found to be (-26%). Software companies need to review their entire value chain to maximize the leverage provided by use of global resources, and they need to identify opportunities to improve their business processes and the quality of the services they provide their clients. Our integrated value chain approach is designed to provide a comprehensive global sourcing strategy which specifically addresses the individual functional areas, but most importantly addresses the incremental value provided by leveraging resources across business processes.

We offer a 4 week strategy service using Panache's EBET methodology:

  Educate on the impact of global sourcing - the risks and the opportunities.
  Assess current state, benchmark with leading practices.
  Define the future vision, business case and prioritized execution plan to maximize the strategic benefits of global sourcing.
