Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) is an outsourcing asset-building strategy that helps companies better manage their growing operations, and is ideal for companies that ultimately want to own an offshore development center.

In this model, VISTADOS shifts clients outsourcing dollars into an investment and asset-building strategy and allows them to have the option to own their dedicated offshore operations over time.

The traditional outsourcing option is to engage a vendor who offers offshore services, or set up one's own facility. VISTADOS offers another alternative to off-shoring.

VISTADOS's approach is to understand the client's business model and then build the BOT program around this. The BOT model enables the transfer of ownership of people, product and infrastructure over time to the client. This enables the client to protect its intellectual property by retaining the individuals with systems knowledge and the proven processes that made them successful. In this way, the client builds valuable strategic assets for the company.

BOT vs Traditional Outsourcing

Coupled with additional benefits, traditional outsourcing has numerous advantages in terms of lowering costs. Improving service time and accelerating time to market. However, traditional outsourcing does come with its own set of disadvantages. VISTADOS's BOT model offers clients all the benefits of outsourcing as well as the option to retain total control of operations. The cost, combined with a transparent model, helps clients to have total control over expenses.
