How an ODC engagement runs

From first conversation to a team delivering under your direction — and what governs the work once it is running.

The process

  1. 01

    Scope

    We agree the disciplines, deliverable formats, review gates, reporting cadence and tooling. Data handling and IP terms are settled here, before any work or any access is granted.

  2. 02

    Assemble

    Engineers are selected from our bench or recruited to your profile. Licences, workstations and secure access are established in Pune. Lead roles are filled before production roles.

  3. 03

    Establish

    Standards, templates, drawing configuration and the review workflow are set up and tested on a pilot deliverable before volume production begins.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    The team works in your systems and to your standards. Every deliverable passes IDAC internal review before it reaches you.

  5. 05

    Scale

    Headcount moves with your programme on agreed notice. Knowledge is documented throughout so the team is never a single point of failure.

Governance while it runs

The failure mode of offshore engineering is not incompetence. It is drift — small divergences from your intent that accumulate unnoticed until a deliverable arrives that is technically correct and practically unusable.

Governance exists to catch drift early. That means internal review before issue, a named person accountable on our side, and a reporting cadence frequent enough that a misunderstanding surfaces in days rather than at the end of a phase.

Governance mechanisms

Standing arrangements on every engagement:

  • Internal technical review before any deliverable is issued
  • A named IDAC delivery contact, not a rotating account manager
  • Agreed reporting cadence with a written progress position
  • Escalation route defined before it is needed
  • Periodic review of whether the team shape still fits the programme

Security and IP

Your drawings, specifications and process data are commercially sensitive, and in some sectors export-controlled. Access control, data segregation and confidentiality obligations are agreed at scoping rather than assumed.
