Communication Model
Model 1:
In this model we have a Project Coordinator (PC) onsite who keeps in
constant touch with the client. PC attends client meetings; gathers requirements
or change requests and forwards the same to offshore development team. PC also
coordinates with the offshore development for successful completion of the
project.
Model 2:
In this model offshore Project Manager (PM) acts as the single point contact for
the client. He keeps regular updates with client through chat, mail and VOIP. PM
interacts with the client to gather requirements, change request etc and
implements the same in the project. The project status is directly updated to
the client through the offshore project manager.

Quality Assurance has been given a formal shape at the Atlantic Crossing ADC by
Atlantic Crossing's SQA Department (SQAD) with the following commitment:
Delivering highest quality products and services to customers, ensuring total customer satisfaction.
Continuously improve quality processes.
Projects are monitored on a daily basis. The Quality testing is based on
documented standards, which are in the form of checklists.
Peer reviews are conducted by SQAD personnel not working on the project for
unbiased quality checks on the project.
Rigorous quality checks are performed throughout the life cycle of the project
prior to customer delivery:
Quality Assurance Check lists are utilized
Discrepancies are reported to Project Manager responsible for the project
Projects with discrepancies re-enter project lifecycle phases
Evaluation/investigation of discrepancies to determine root cause and next steps
