Program Governance & Project Management – Onsite & Offshore
IGT usually recommends that clients begin by using a combination of on-site, regional and offshore resources. This 3-tier approach enables IGT to manage a smooth integration of local requirements, client and IGT design resources.

The first 2 tiers - the On-site team and the Offsite team - develop deep understanding of client's business and deliver rapid response solutions. The 3rd tier, our Offshore development center, provides us the leverage to rapidly scale up to meet client's needs and deliver cost-effective solutions.

Throughout the project, and particularly in the early stages, team members from the 3 tier are rotated into tiers 1 and 2 to facilitate communication, and they serve as strong project liaisons when rotated back to the offshore site. As IGT becomes more familiar with the client's business and applications, most tasks are completed at the Tier 3 Offshore site in Gurgaon, India.
