About Business Outcomes
iGATE’s industry-first Business Outcomes-based approach focuses on the realization of tangible and measurable results, unlike traditional models which are driven by work, effort, time and manpower. By integrating technology and processes in a proprietary way and pricing services on results, iGATE exchanges fixed costs for a variable cost structure in an attempt to get clients to ‘pay for results only’ while enabling them to adjust to the peaks and valleys of their demand.
