The GCC model

An embedded capability center, not an agency.

You don’t hire us for a project — you stand up a capability center you own. A dedicated small pod becomes part of your org, lowering cost while keeping security and compliance built in from day one.

What's in a pod

A tight bench. Hands-on builders.

A pod is small on purpose — fewer people who know your stack deeply beats a roster of names you never meet.

Pod

4 – 6 builders

Lead
Builders
SRE
Product
1

Lead engineer

Owns delivery, code review, and the relationship.

2–4

Engineers

Ship the work. Stack-fluent.

1

Embedded SRE

Operates the stack in your cloud. On-call rotation.

0–1

Product engineer

When the surface area touches users directly.

Operating models

Three ways to engage.

Different teams want different levels of ownership and speed. Pick the one that matches your roadmap — switch between them as you grow.

01

Embedded Pod

A tight team plugs into your org from week one. Your roadmap, our payroll, our stack. Best for teams that want capacity without rebuilding HR overseas.

  • Fastest to value
  • You direct the work
  • We carry the operations

Best when you want to ship in 60 days.

02

Build–Operate–Transfer

We stand up your capability center, run it, and hand it over when you’re ready to take ownership. Common path for enterprises planning to in-house long-term.

  • Structured handover
  • IP and talent stay
  • Clear transfer milestone

Best when you want a captive, eventually.

03

Capability-as-a-Service

Outcome-based engagement on specific products — Memory, Voice, Agents, or Trust — without standing up a full center. Useful when the scope is contained.

  • Product-scoped
  • Lower commitment
  • Path to expand later

Best when one product is the bottleneck.

The engagement

From scope to scale.

A linear path from first conversation to a team shipping inside your org — not a six-month diligence cycle.

01

Scope

We map the work, the data, and the compliance surface — then size a tight team and the stack pieces that fit.

02

Embed

A dedicated pod plugs into your workflows from the US and India. Your team, on our payroll and our stack — not a vendor you file tickets with.

03

Build secure

We ship on Vector Trust by default: code-level review, audit trails, and human sign-off baked into every release — not bolted on later.

04

Scale & save

You get engineering capacity at a fraction of onshore cost, with security and compliance posture built in as you grow.

vs. alternatives

Why teams pick a GCC over the other paths.

The choice usually isn’t Vector vs. another GCC — it’s GCC vs. an outsourcing vendor or in-house build. Here’s the honest comparison.

Alternative

Vendor (agency / staff aug)

  • Optimized for billable hours
  • Engineers rotate; context dies
  • IP ambiguity, vendor lock
  • You file tickets to make changes

Alternative

In-house build

  • Months of recruiting, ramp, infra
  • Hidden cost of HR + benefits + tax
  • Hard to flex up or down
  • You’re the first to debug it at 2 AM

Vector Company

Vector Company GCC

  • Optimized for your outcomes
  • Tight team that stays through ownership
  • IP, code, and evidence are yours
  • Engineers carry the pager

Our thesis

Everyone is replacing engineers with AI. We’re doing the opposite.

The pods we run treat AI as leverage for engineers, not a substitute for them. That’s how things stay reliable in production.

01

Humans own the outcome

Engineers design, review, and stand behind every system. Accountability has a name, not a model version.

02

AI is leverage, not labor

We use AI the way great engineers use any tool — to move faster. It never ships to production unreviewed.

03

Secure because humans check

Every agent action runs inside our stack: logged, auditable, and verified by a person before it matters.

Frequently asked

What teams ask before signing.

A vendor optimizes for billable hours. A capability center optimizes for the outcomes of your business. The team is dedicated, the IP is yours, and the engineers stay long enough to know your systems.
