How did we help a geospatial software company set up a GCC at Covrize?
Our Journey
One of the earliest projects we took was for a client in the rapidly evolving GIS sector – A GIS-based software company.
With changing needs, constant innovation, and the demand for skilled talent, managing everything can become complicated – sometimes even impossible!
When our client faced these challenges, they reached out to us, and together, we found a solution – forming a GCC for their client-side customization and development needs.
The trouble our partner had (in 30 Seconds)
Our Partner had a product development & maintenance team but lacked
An extended team for product enhancements
A team for client-side customizations
Diverse tech talent that was often needed
Budget to hire a dev for every small need
What made them partner with us?
They needed a multi-tech team!
We had full-stack developers for 4 different technologies.
They required flexibility
As clients demanded changes often, we adapted quickly.
They needed GCC expertise
We knew the legalities and how to set up inside out.
They sought GIS & Industry expertise
We have experience in delivering similar projects.
They required customization experience
We specialize in delivering bespoke software solutions.
They wanted a seamless shift
We ensured a smooth transition from GCC to a fully owned captive.
How we have offered them a complete GCC Solution?
We formed 2 dedicated tech teams for 2 different projects.
Team 1 – .NET Core
A team of 12 .NET Core engineers and one Manager at Covrize was assembled to work on the client’s ongoing and upcoming Smart City projects.
They leveraged the client’s existing GIS software while closely coordinating with a Client’s Manager and Product Development Team.
Team 2 – PHP
For a new project, we assembled a team of 7 PHP developers and one manager at Covrize. Our manager worked directly with the client’s VP of Technology, who oversaw the project requirements while also collaborating with the GIS product development team to ensure smooth execution.
How did our GCC setup for the GIS Software Company work seamlessly for 3 years?
- Clear management from day one.
- No authority issues - roles were well-defined.
- Strong technical alignment on both sides.
- Full transparency ensured trust and efficiency.
- Close collaboration between both managers.
- Teams stayed in sync, delivering without friction.
