PREFERRED ENGAGEMENT MODEL “We deliver value for money” Pricing for our outsourcing services depend upon various factors like complexity, verticals, volume, duration, etc. We offer a flexible, customized, transparent & cost effective value based pricing model to our clients.
INPUT- BASED SCHEMES OUTPUT- BASED SCHEMES
INPUT- BASED SCHEMES Per hour basis The LPO vendor company offers the services, quoting rates on hourly bases for all kinds of work outsourced. For example, charging fee of USD 40 per hour for legal research made online for the clients for X number of hours.
Manpower basis (FTE) This is the pricing model whereby the vendor company deploys the equivalent number of legal experts as the client would have/had in his country to suit the project needs of the client company/firm. The vendor charges the client on the basis of number of people deployed for that particular client.
Virtual Captive Center This is a model that Aeren LPO has transformed with years of experience to its credit. This model offers ultimate control to the client over the resources deployed by the vendor. It offers all advantages of Captive Service Center and Third Party Vendor. The price is charged on the basis of number of work station used by the client.
OUTPUT- BASED SCHEMES Transaction Fees A Transaction based pricing model for outsourcing is one where payments to the vendor are based on the number of transactions executed. This model is emerging quite a popular especially in a scenario when the process to be outsourced is a standardized process, repeatable transactions, clearly defined beginning & end. This model makes it easier to alien the incentives of the client & vendor. This model can be used with various variations.
Pay per Unit In this method the vendor offers a unit-based set rate and the client company pays depending on the amount of usage. An example would be maintenance services, where the client pays for the number of units that avail the maintenance service.
Project Based/Flat fee The service provider charges one lump sum fee for the case, at the beginning or end of the project outsourced. For example, charging USD 5000 for the entire project of researc h/survey irrespective of the number of hours involved.
Retainer ship fee In this case, the client company pays a monthly or yearly fixed sum of money to the LPO vendor. This way, it can gain access to legal services when the need arises. Big corporat ions who are highly vulnerable to legal issues and risks predominantly opt for this model.
ENGAGEMENT MODEL THAT WE TRANSFORMED
“ Virtual Offshore Captive Centre”
What is “ Virtual Offshore Captive Centre ” - engagement model “VOCC is our unique client engagement model that places the client into the shoes of the owner(1) of an ‘Offshore Captive Centre’ without actually having established / owning the same in the Offshore Jurisdictions. It builds up collaborative partnership rather than vendor relationship. This model encapsulates all the benefits of an ‘Owned Captive Centre’ and ‘Third Party Outsourcing Vendor’ while eliminating their disadvantages.”
Note 1: Owner implies owner like controls over facility, resources, manpower, project management, delivery etc.
