Common questions
What is the difference between an ODC and a GCC?
An Offshore Development Center owns engineering work for your products. A Global Capability Center has a broader, longer-term mandate that can span engineering, data and other functions, with its own leadership.
Who employs the team and owns its work?
For Team Extension and Dedicated Teams, Vento Systems Pvt Ltd employs the engineers and you direct their work. For larger centers the employer depends on the model you choose, and Build–Operate–Transfer moves the team to your own entity. The work belongs to you: ownership, repository access and confidentiality are set out in the engagement terms before anyone starts.
Can we start with one team and expand later?
Yes. Start with a defined first assignment and review it together. That review tells you whether to add roles, a second squad or another function.
What affects timing and cost?
Role mix and seniority set most of the cost. Timing depends on the roles and on notice periods, which in India are often one to three months for experienced engineers. You get a hiring plan covering both before anyone is recruited.
