Engagement Models Being a partner of yours

Damco offers a number of flexible commercial models, which refer to the contractual agreement between you and Damco, based on the type of service we engage in.

We ensure our commercial models are successful for any particular engagement by striking the right balance between your expectations of quality, timeliness and price, and our cost and operational efficiency.

Depending on the needs of our clients, we offer customized solutions. We have the following customer engagement models:

Fixed Price Model

The fixed bid model is best suited for small and medium size projects where the scope of work is clearly defined and agreed upon between the customer and Damco. This model allows customers to pay a fixed price for all milestones deliverables for the entire project. The project plan in such scenarios clearly specifies the scope, costs, deliverables and schedule, and any scope changes during project execution would result in the change of price.


Time and Material Model

The T&M model works best for customers who want a flexible and agile project execution. This model is ideal for projects where the requirements are flexible and change frequently based on customers’ needs and intended business goals. The customer is billed on the actual efforts spent by the team per month and provides flexibility to the customer to utilize the team for different requirements and also to ramp up and down the team.


SLA/Milestone Based Model

SLA/Milestone based projects aim to deliver specified milestones/SLAs in a project. Damco and the customer both work towards a common goal. This model is suited for an iterative and process-oriented approach where the internal and external milestones of the project can be clearly defined, and also ownership and accountability can be clearly defined.
