Build-operate-transfer (BOT) is a contractual agreement that offers a strategic solution for organizations seeking to optimize their software development or business process service delivery operations. By engaging in a BOT arrangement, organizations can collaborate with a service provider to set up, enhance, and oversee these operations, aiming to eventually transfer them to the organization as a captive center. This innovative approach has demonstrated significant effectiveness and cost-efficiency, making it a popular choice among organizations across various industries globally.

Many companies and startups utilize the build-operate-transfer concept to hire a more cost-effective workforce. This approach is especially useful for those who are expanding overseas and do not have the time or resources to build an office and hire staff. As a result, this technique can help fill the skills gap in various sectors without the added cost and effort of traditional hiring methods.
Build-operate-transfer offers the advantage of access to a vast talent pool and can extend an organization's reach beyond its current audience. Additionally, partnering with a well-established consulting company can ensure that the organization has the necessary expertise to navigate the local immigration laws, making it easier to relocate essential workers. This is a unique opportunity to expand business and achieve greater success.
When considering outsourcing, one of the primary rationales is cost savings. BOT is considered to be an effective form of outsourcing that offers a unique advantage. The team is established specifically for organizations from the outset and works in accordance with its processes. Additionally, the results of their work are fully owned by the organization.
A build-operate-transfer model provides a structured framework for partnerships between vendors and client companies. While adhering to the standard structure, vendors often offer customized BOT models that can better align with the needs of the client. The BOT model also allows for a straightforward process of scaling the local team up or down and adjusting the length of the Operate phase. This flexibility can be beneficial in meeting the changing demands of the business.
In the traditional outsourcing model, once your partnership ends, there isn’t a way to access the resources you’ve used in the past, including the expertise you’ve gathered and the people who have worked on your team. This isn’t the case with our Build-Operate-Transfer services, where you keep the knowledge team even after you and your business partner are no longer working together, and the team is transferred into your company.
The entire BOT process typically spans 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the setup and your specific requirements. The Build stage usually takes about 3 months, during which we establish your team and infrastructure. The Operate phase timeline lasts around 9 to 12 months, during which we manage the team and optimize processes. Finally, during the Transfer phase, which takes about 1 to 3 months, we smoothly hand over full control to your organization, ensuring you’re ready to manage the operations on your own.
Our BOT model is a strategic approach where we help you establish and manage a dedicated nearshore development team or IT operation in Latin America. First, we build the team and set up the necessary infrastructure tailored to your business needs. Then, we operate the team, ensuring seamless day-to-day management and optimization. Finally, we transfer full ownership of the team and operations to you. This model benefits your company by reducing risks, accelerating market entry, and allowing you to tap into high-quality talent while maintaining full control over the operation.
After the process lifecycle is complete, we continue to offer post-transfer support to ensure a smooth transition and long-term success of your BOT IT operations. We provide guidance on managing the team, troubleshooting any operational issues, and optimizing processes as needed. As your nearshore partner, our goal is to ensure that you are fully equipped to run the operation independently while still having access to our expertise and assistance if needed.
