Outsourced Product Development (OPD) is one of the key services of BlastAsia. Over the years, we have worked extensively with global product companies, providing them with innovative solutions and assisting them in achieving their strategic goals in launching highly competitive commercial products to market.

BlastAsia is not only technologically equipped to undertake the challenges of Product Development, but its team of experts is flexible enough to handle the constant evolvement of a software product due to market demands and technological advances. We have instilled as part of our core values the Research and Development mindset that prepares our technical team in keeping up with the challenges of product development.

With years of experience in product development, BlastAsia has already differentiated it from business applications development and has developed proven processes that are specific to this area, such as version and release management, security, and application maintenance.

Major Stake Involved Developer Client Stake involved as much as the developer for ensuring product quality
Highest need of Client Interaction Requirement gathering and implementation Through out the process with all team members thus importance of communication apart from technology skills.
    Talented developer pool - Huge portfolio of Microsoft Certified developers ensures highest quality of development work.

  Flexibility and Scalability - As we follow the Scrum methodology for project management and development, it makes it possible to review the project at each iterative stage and revise it accordingly.

  Technology Management Group Consultancy - In house consultancy from our heavily R&D oriented group of experts, who provide consultancy to groups requiring assistance and alternative approaches to problem solving.

  Cultural proximity - Philippines is more culturally aligned to western culture than any other Asian country. This makes it easier for the client team to start interacting with our team faster and more effectively and produce results in shorter time.

  Seamless Communication - We at BlastAsia believe in having open communication, which maintains transparency between us and our clients about the progress of the project and other relevant details when required. Also we make it possible for the team to communicate with the client over VOIP whenever there is a need from both sides.

  Location Advantage - As we are located in the Philippines, apart from the savings on cost of development, it is far more accessible and located in a very prime business district of the country. You can visit us without having to go through the hardships and difficulties of a third world country.

  Time and Material Engagement
This is a preferred approach for projects whose nature is more of
  • research and development oriented
  • application maintenance service oriented, where the duration of the project cannot be determined at the initial stage of the engagement. Projects of this type may require constant upgrades and changes.
  Dedicated Developer Service
The models allow completion of projects on predictable, low-risk path with high quality results. Manage Mode
  • Developers fully managed by BlastAsia Project Managers.
  • The deliverables and system specifications will be fully defined by the client.
  • At the start of the engagement the Project Manager will be developing a detailed product backlog specifying the major feature list for the project.
  • Project Server is setup for the client for status tracking.
  Self Manage Mode
  • Full control over the offshore developers and technical resources are given to the customer.
  • The dedicated developers can be an extension of their IT resources or office.
  • A project coordinator is usually assigned to oversee and coordinates with the client with regard to attendance and other minor logistic concerns.
  • The deliverables and assignment of the developers will be the full responsibility of the client.
  On-site and Off-Site Dedicated Developer Deployment
  • The project might require deployment of some of the members of the development team on-site.
  • This may be at the start of engagement and during the deployment stage.

  Protecting your asset
Years of experience in working with international clients have made us an expert in anticipating the client’s need for protection of their intellectual property. We understand, respect and have actively participated in helping our client even with the patenting process.

  Strict Control
To avoid leaks of clients’ confidential information and IP, we not only educate our developers, project managers and other managers on what is IP and why it is essential to closely guard all client information. It is followed with clear guidelines, practices and rules that are specific to securing and protecting intellectual property assets of our clients. It covers network security, HR practices, employee conduct, corporate conduct, and the legal structure of our company.

  Secure Infrastructure
At BlastAsia we completely own the infrastructure which is used for storing the client’s code and other assets. We closely and securely monitor the access to the servers which only authorized personnel can access; we have an authorized manager completely accountable for the security concerns for each client.
