DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS:

For Icreon a project is considered to be successful not only when it is built to spec and delivered but when the client has adopted the new software and started deriving value out of the same. It is for this reason that we often go over and beyond what is expected of a typical software company and help our clients with change management and software adoption.

We help our clients build technology road maps that are in sync with their business goals and enable them to leverage technology to gain a competitive advantage in the market place.

Our global deliverymodelwhich typically includes members from both our onshore and offshore offices helps us in getting involved at the early stages of solution design while enabling our clients to gain a cost advantage by leveraging the hybrid delivery model.

Client Centric:

• Maintaining highest standards of service at every phase of the client relationship
• Staying on top of the current trends and new technologies
• Continuously striving to create and sustain long-term customer relationship
• E.g.: At the very beginning of an application/ website development project,we build a clickable "prototype" to make sure that the client and the team, are all on the same page.

Team Centric:

• Constantly investing in workforce development and encouraging cross-team learning based on client engagements
• Providing a free environment to the team members to think and create better and more effective solutions, while ensuring that they remain motivated, mapping their career goals to the career path that we create for them at Icreon
