On/Offsite Packaging Model
To further reduce costs in software management Raynet offers different models of packaging, since packaging can be done at your premises (onsite) or at a Raynet packaging center (offsite or nearsite).
Related to the packaging process evaluation and quality assurance will always be done onsite, but you have multiple options for the packaging step itself.
Depending on the number of packages the most advantageous method for your long-term packaging needs will probably be offsite packaging. Once the application software leave the evaluation steps the packages get build in one of Raynet’s packaging factories (offsite), whereas so called “images” (copies of your standard clients) will be used for packaging tests.
The packagers will concentrate on packaging only, since all preparation has been performed in the evaluation phase. No interruptions will disturb the packaging and significant learning effects and a higher experience level are the results. Packagers are faster and deliver a higher quality since they can use the learning curve of all their colleagues as well.
Exchanging information with clients is done via phone or internet.
This way Raynet achieves a high level on effectiveness and conformity with its clients.
Onsite packaging is done on customer premises and becomes interesting, when smaller numbers of packages are to be processed, or if the applications in question have strong dependencies to related environments and can be tested at that place only, or also if special security or other requirements apply.
Raynet uses the term Nearsite packaging when the onsite packaging is not performed on customer premises but in a Raynet office nearby.
Raynet recommends and prefers a hybrid model of these three types in all larger projects. A small crew (minimum one person) will be present at your premises and will function like a bridge head and as your communication partner. This person will also hold the connection to the offsite packaging factory.
That broadens the advantage of cost effective packages by the advantage of short ways in cases of comments or questions or if supporting measures are necessary at your place. Raynet views this hybrid model as the optimal solution.
