Engagement Models

Delivery Structured Around How You Actually Buy

Four ways to work with eData Advisory — from a single specialist deployed in 48 hours to a fully managed offshore delivery pod.

Offshore Delivery Center (ODC) / Dedicated Pods

A fixed team — Lead Architect, senior developers, and QA — managed end-to-end by an offshore delivery lead and dedicated entirely to your program.

Best For

  • Multi-phase OneStream or Oracle EPM programs
  • Firms that need predictable, ring-fenced delivery capacity
  • Programs requiring consistent team continuity across releases

Staff Augmentation / Resource-as-a-Service

FTE monthly retainers, time-and-materials engagements, or part-time senior SME advisory — deployable in under 48 hours to fill a specific skills gap.

Best For

  • Filling a single certified role on an existing project
  • Short-notice capacity during a critical delivery window
  • System integrators subcontracting specialist skill sets

Fixed-Scope Turnkey Implementations

Full ownership of a defined scope — blueprinting, sprint execution, UAT, cutover, and post-go-live hypercare — delivered against a fixed statement of work.

Best For

  • Greenfield OneStream or Oracle EPM implementations
  • Legacy Hyperion to OneStream migrations
  • Programs that need one accountable delivery owner

24/7 Managed Services & Month-End Close Support

SLA-driven L1–L4 support with dedicated coverage across critical month-end and quarter-end close windows.

Best For

  • Post-go-live administration and patch management
  • Organizations needing guaranteed close-window coverage
  • Teams without in-house platform administrators
