Milestones
We will go over the project requirements with you and help define a list of milestones and a timeline for your project, as we co-manage how to get there together.
Delivery model
Team-as-a- Service
A full team, milestone-billed and co-managed: accountability you can quote, flexibility you can use.
If you already have a well-defined project scope and clear goals in terms of final deliverables, but wish to retain flexibility in how to get there, then the Team-as-a-Service delivery model is the right choice for you (also formally known as Quoted Time & Means). We put together a team for your project based on your needs, and help you decide together how to prioritise and organise the timeline to reach the goals you have set. The key difference with regular Time & Means is that we are committed by the quotes we make for milestones: billing is done by milestone, to ensure that Thaleria is accountable for the results of the team and that your goals are met.
What you get
What this model offers.
Team-as-a-Service
Finding the perfect team of professionals can be a difficult task, which is why we will take care of putting together and at your disposal a full team that covers all areas of your project, while already trying to anticipate some of your future needs.
Flexibility
We understand that parts of your project may change or get better defined as time passes and goals are reached. By working with an assigned project team and with milestones as we go, you keep at all times the flexibility that you need without compromising the accountability of Thaleria.
Case study
Team-as-a-Service at Thaleria
Thaleria has substantial experience providing the TaaS delivery model, particularly in the public sector and for the European Institutions, covering mainly IT security and large-scale IT infrastructure and development.
eu-LISA, an agency of the European Union with a focus on asylum, border management and migration, is an excellent example. Thaleria has done major work in QTM / TaaS mode under eu-LISA's framework contract TEF: the Transversal Engineering Framework. TEF concerns the "transversal" services related to engineering aspects for the large-scale IT systems that eu-LISA manages, and addresses the operational needs in relation to the setup, development and evolutions of the European Travel Information Authorisation System (ETIAS), possible future large-scale IT systems (e.g. ECRIS-TCN), interoperability elements and evolutions of existing large-scale IT systems.
TEF is then divided into different Lots, each with a particular focus. Thaleria's work is done under Lot 1: Design, Quality and Integration Support across all systems. The two biggest engagements, and where we have contributed the most, are the VIS (Visa Information System) for the exchange of visa data between Schengen states, and the EES (Entry/Exit System) for the automatic monitoring of borders.
