Our delivery capabilities are strongly augmented by our global presence, international affiliations and robust communication strategies backed by state-of-the-art delivery and support infrastructure.

Agile Applications for the Disruptive Age
In this disruptive age, businesses either act fast and survive, or react late and die. Within the current ‘cut-throat’ global economic scenario, the agenda is clear: Re-imagine, Re-engineer and Respond! Today, the key to success lies in agile processes and applications, aligned strongly to meet business objectives. Agility ensures flexibility, thereby allowing your business to assimilate, adapt and evolve with change, avail opportunities and avoid threats.

To respond to the fiercely changing winds of globalization, business processes need to be regularly re-engineered, kept oiled up, and stay highly responsive. Technology has to be engrained within the business at all levels: core philosophy, business plans, strategies and processes.

Ephlux offers ‘Power Team’ - a simple, yet effective ideology, further enhanced by agile development philosophies and unique human resource management methods.

The Method
Ephlux dedicates a fully managed team to its client; fully empowered, motivated, equipped and technologically driven to success. This extended team can deliver multiple simultaneous projects for you, while being dedicated for you for a pre-agreed duration.

Using this model, Ephlux provides you complete insight and control over the team utilization and project delivery. You are charged a monthly invoice with a fixed amount for a certain team-size and composition. Team size and composition can be altered based on your requirements along with adjustments to the monthly cost.

Time & Material (Ongoing Maintenance)
Ephlux is proud to present ‘Time & Material’ (T&M), an ongoing maintenance and support service package designed explicitly for valued clients and prospects.

Ephlux T&M contracts are usually employed for Maintenance projects.

We offer real-time reporting to keep you on top of the T&M based tasks along with live status updates via our online project portals.

Benefits
Time & Material is best for you if:

1. Your need for resource utilization is varied and unpredictable, as is usually the case with maintenance projects.
2. You wish to be charged for quality time put in on specific tasks and issues (hour to hour)
3. You wish to tightly control your budget on a task-to-task basis
4. You wish to maintain a variable budgeting mechanism which allows you to add/remove tasks and alter costs accordingly

Agile Framework & Project Management

Agile Applications for the Disruptive Age!

Is your Business Fit and Fast?
Today your business is not the same as it was yesterday – tomorrow it won’t be what you are planning for right now.

In many industries, making a reliable multi-year business plan has become impractical, while an annual one is getting harder and harder to draw. Things are changing at the speed of imagination – and the survival is now only for the fastest (not the fattest, or the fittest) - No longer can you survive ‘fit & fat’, but staying ‘fit & fast’ is the key to your existence.

Now the very definition of “CHANGE” has changed. No more does it mean a change of a business process here and there, but increasingly, even the business model in order to survive. The rules of the marketplace has slowly transited to an economic warzone, where survival depends solely on your capability to adapt with change.
