At OGMA, we've designed our delivery model to give you the best possible combination of expertise, quality, and value. Our blended local/offshore resource structure means you get hands-on strategic guidance from senior local consultants while benefiting from efficient analytical execution by our offshore team.

The Challenge We Solve

Traditional risk consulting presents a dilemma: hire expensive local consultants for every task, or offshore everything and lose strategic value and client partnership. Organizations need both strategic expertise AND analytical capacity, but budget constraints often force difficult choices.

Our Solution: Strategic Blending

We deploy resources where they deliver the most value:

Onshore (Local) Resources:

• Senior risk management consultants

• Industry subject matter experts

• Client-facing project managers

• Strategic advisors

What they do:

• Develop risk strategies and frameworks

• Lead client meetings and workshops

• Provide regulatory and market expertise

• Oversee implementation and quality

• Make critical judgment calls that require deep market knowledge

Offshore Resources:

• Data scientists and statisticians

• Model developers and validators

• Database architects

• Software Engineers

• Report and dashboard developers

• Documentation specialists

What they do:

• Build and test statistical models

• Process and analyze large datasets

• Develop automated reporting tools

• Create technical documentation

• Execute analytical tasks efficiently

Quality Assurance

You might wonder: "How do you ensure quality with an offshore team?"

Here's our approach:

1. Senior Oversight
Every project has a local senior consultant who owns quality. They review all work products before client delivery and provide technical direction throughout.

2. Proven Team
Our offshore data scientists and statisticians aren't junior resources—they're experienced professionals who've worked on hundreds of risk and analytics projects. Many have advanced degrees in statistics, mathematics, or data science.

3. Standardized Processes
We use documented workflows, code review practices, and quality checklists to ensure consistency across all projects.

4. Direct Communication
While our local consultants are your primary point of contact, our offshore team is available for technical discussions when needed. We use collaborative tools that keep everyone aligned.

5. Continuous Improvement
We track quality metrics and client feedback to continuously refine our processes and delivery standards.

Communication & Workflow

Your Experience:

• Single point of contact: Your local consultant

• Regular status updates and meetings during local business hours

• Quick response times to questions and requests

• Collaborative project planning and prioritization

Behind the Scenes:

• We leverage time zone differences for faster turnaround (work continues while you sleep)

• Daily coordination between local and offshore teams

• Shared project management tools for transparency

• Documented handoffs and quality checkpoints

Security & Compliance

Data Security:

• Encrypted data transmission and storage

• Access controls and audit trails

• Confidentiality agreements with all team members

• Compliance with data protection standards

Regulatory Knowledge:

• local consultants handle all regulatory interpretation

• Offshore team executes technical work under clear guidelines

• All compliance decisions made by onshore experts

Cost Efficiency

This model delivers significant cost savings—typically 30-40% compared to all-local consulting—while maintaining enterprise-grade quality:

What you save on:

• Analytical and technical execution at competitive global rates

• Reduced overhead through our established infrastructure

• Efficient resource utilization (right resource for each task)

What you don't compromise:

• Strategic expertise and senior-level guidance

• local market knowledge and regulatory understanding

• Responsiveness and client partnership

• Work product quality and rigor

Why It Works

This isn't about cheap labor—it's about smart resource allocation. Your projects benefit from:

1. Deep expertise where it matters most (strategy, client collaboration, oversight)

2. Efficient execution where scale and technical skills drive value (modeling, analysis, development)

3. Proven processes that ensure quality regardless of team location

4. Cost structure that makes ongoing advisory relationships sustainable

Who Benefits Most

Our blended model is ideal for:

• Credit unions and community financial institutions that need enterprise-level expertise without enterprise budgets

• FinTech companies building or scaling their risk infrastructure

• Regional and national lenders competing against larger institutions

• Any organization that values both strategic partnership and analytical firepower
