Trianz has pioneered a paradigm in software product engineering that emphasizes a “core versus context” view of product engineering. While clients focus on core R&D, deep market knowledge, requirements definition, architectures and technology selection, Trianz takes ownership of the engineering life cycle. This is the Trianz Virtual Engineering Model (VEM).

The Trianz VEM has evolved based on a careful analysis of several hundred firm-wide engagements, evolving client needs and emerging trends in technology developments. The development of this model has involved leaders and engineers from Trianz and clients.

Trianz provides the following range of services to clients under the Virtual Engineering Model:

• R & D Support - Research services by exceptional talent to enhance the reach and size of your R&D teams.
• Product Strategy - Software product internationalization, technology strategy and product life cycle planning.
• Product Development - Architecture, design, development, version and release management of software products.
• Quality Assurance Services - Full range of verification and validation model-based quality assurance services such as functionality, usability, scalability, installation, security, etc., leveraging state-of-the-art testing platforms.
• Life Cycle Management - Interrelease services such as engineering support, enhancements, patch or fix developments

Our Product Engineering Services are aimed at exponentially increasing the global competitiveness of engineering organizations. The basic premise of VEM is to go far beyond labor cost reductions or replacements of workforces that have been established under outdated outsourcing models.

As such, the overall effects of the entire model go far beyond simply reducing per-unit or project-level costs by linear movement of projects to an offshore provider. Relying on sophisticated program management (PMO) techniques, Trianz has developed a uniquely collaborative model that combines our R&D and engineering execution capabilities with client engineering teams and their institutionalized knowledge. The business impact created by Trianz VEM covers the following areas:

• Reduction in global engineering cycle times at the project or product level
• One-time design for global markets and reduction in global time to market across a single or multiple products
• Sharing of domain specific R&D and engineering innovations developed by Trianz for client benefit.
• Dynamic scaling, loading and movement of engineering teams between products at a very large scale.
• Total cost optimization across engineering cycles, shared engineering and R&D, capital expenditures and time to market, as opposed to per-unit or per-head cost reductions.
• Shared risk and reward model with Trianz, where Trianz takes responsibility for improvements across these dimensions and metrics and is rewarded accordingly.
