GCC as a Service — dedicated offshore engineering pods and delivery governance

GCC / ODC

GCC as a Service

Set up and scale an offshore Global Capability Centre with Nectar — hand-picked engineering pods, your tools and ceremonies, our infrastructure, HR and delivery governance.

Overview

What this service delivers

GCC as a Service gives you a captive-style team without the years of setup. We recruit to your bar, run the facilities, compliance and people operations, and embed the squad directly into your backlog, standups and definition of done.

Teams typically ramp in four to six weeks and can flex up or down as your roadmap changes, with an option to transition the centre into your own entity later.

Our Offerings

Where we plug in

Pick a single capability or combine them into one accountable engagement — scope, team shape and commercials adapt to your roadmap.

GCC as a Service offerings

Dedicated engineering pods

Screened engineers, QA, DevOps and design working exclusively on your product.

Talent acquisition

Sourcing, technical screening and onboarding against your role profiles and interview loops.

Infrastructure & security

Secured seats, VDI, network segmentation and access controls that satisfy your audit requirements.

Delivery governance

Named delivery lead, velocity and quality metrics, and escalation paths into Nectar leadership.

People operations

Payroll, statutory compliance, retention programmes and career paths managed on your behalf.

Build-operate-transfer

An agreed path to transferring the team, assets and processes into your own entity when ready.

Concept & Ideation

Concept & Ideation

A GCC engagement is designed around the roadmap you cannot staff. We translate that roadmap into a team shape — seniority mix, skills, overlap hours and ramp sequence — and set the quality bar we will hire against.

  • Capability gap analysis mapped to your 12-month delivery roadmap
  • Team blueprint: roles, seniority mix, ramp curve and overlap hours
  • Governance model naming decision rights on both sides

Our Expertise

Technology depth behind the service

Certified engineers, architects and QA specialists working across the stack — with reusable accelerators from 15+ years of enterprise delivery.

Research

Research

Before recruiting we calibrate on your standards: we run your interview loop, review your codebase and ceremonies, and confirm the security and compliance controls your auditors will expect from an offshore team.

  • Interview calibration against your hiring bar and technical loop
  • Codebase, tooling and ways-of-working assessment for onboarding design
  • Security, IP and compliance controls agreed with your risk function

Design & Development

Design & Development

The centre is stood up in parallel tracks — recruitment, secured infrastructure, and onboarding — so the first pod is contributing to your sprints within four to six weeks and scaling behind a planned ramp.

  • Sourcing, screening and offer management against your role profiles
  • Secured seats, VDI, segmented network and audited access provisioning
  • Structured onboarding: codebase, domain, ceremonies and definition of done

Test Engineering

Test Engineering

Quality is measured, not asserted. From the first sprint we track velocity, escaped defects, review turnaround and coverage, and share them with you in the same dashboard your internal teams use.

  • Shared delivery dashboard: velocity, escaped defects, cycle time, coverage
  • Embedded QA and automation engineers inside each pod
  • Independent code review and quality gates against your standards

Re-Engineering

Re-Engineering

As the centre matures, its scope should deepen from execution to ownership. We deliberately move pods up the value chain — taking on architecture, platform and product ownership — while keeping bus-factor risk low through rotation and pairing.

  • Progression from feature delivery to architecture and product ownership
  • Cross-training and rotation to remove single points of knowledge
  • Team reshaping as the roadmap shifts, without restarting the ramp

Support & Reliability

Support & Reliability

We own the things that quietly break offshore teams: attrition, engagement and continuity. Retention programmes, career paths and a named delivery lead keep the same people on your product year after year.

  • Retention and career-path programmes with published attrition reporting
  • Named delivery lead accountable for output, quality and escalations
  • Backfill commitments with overlap so departures do not stall sprints

Documentation & Training

Documentation & Training

The centre documents your domain as it learns it, which is what makes a later build-operate-transfer realistic: process assets, onboarding material and knowledge bases that transfer with the team.

  • Domain knowledge base and onboarding curriculum maintained by the pod
  • Process assets, coding standards and runbooks owned jointly with you
  • Build-operate-transfer pack covering people, assets and processes

Why Nectar?

Why enterprises choose Nectar Infotel

Appraised process, senior ownership and long-run accountability — the reasons clients stay with us for years, not projects.

Why Nectar for GCC as a Service

Productive in four to six weeks

Recruitment, secured infrastructure and onboarding run in parallel, so the first pod joins your sprints fast.

Attrition is our problem

Retention programmes, career paths and overlapping backfills keep the same engineers on your product year after year.

A real transfer option

Documented processes, assets and knowledge make build-operate-transfer into your own entity a genuine path, not a slogan.

CMMI-DEV V2.0 ML5 process

Appraised engineering discipline backed by ISO 9001, TL 9000, ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 14001 certified operations.

Senior engineering ownership

Named architects and delivery leads stay on the account, so domain knowledge compounds instead of resetting every quarter.

Transparent governance

Weekly demos, live delivery dashboards and monthly business reviews — no surprises between kick-off and go-live.
