Building a Software Team That Suits Your Needs
Imagine having the resources you need to satisfy your software development, support and maintenance needs? Imagine a universe where you don’t have to recruit, interview and house a software development team to fulfill your vision for a consumer or business application? What if you could have the right resources available at the right time without having to wait for your team (or an IT partner) to find the time to address your needs or ideas?
‘A Build Your Own Team approach assures that the business has the skills, knowledge, resources and access it needs to complete its project on a timely basis. This personalized approach is not simply a staffing, recruitment or shared workspace approach.’
CIO.com recently published research that outlines the primary reasons for project failure. Among the top reasons for failure, they list two primary factors relating to resources:
Not Enough Resources
Underestimating the resources and talent required to do the work and the amount of work required to complete the project.
Inexperienced Teams
Failure to provide experienced project managers and specific skills and talents required to complete the project.
Even if your business has a skilled in-house IT team, it is likely that they are already overwhelmed by existing projects, support, and maintenance of the existing infrastructure. Add to that the fact that new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), and new platforms, frameworks, coding techniques, and other factors can make it nearly impossible to keep your staff trained and sustain the skills you need to address every requirements.
But when your business needs software and application development help, it is often difficult to find a service provider that will satisfy all business needs and do so in a timely, skilled fashion. If a business chooses the wrong service provider, it is likely to face one or more of the following issues:
- Cookie-cutter solutions and teams that provide some, but not all, of the skills required to support business needs.
- Delays in achieving milestones because the right resources are not available at the right time.
- Inflexible team and resource availability to address changing or evolving requirements leads to uncertain results.
- Out-of-date or incomplete skillsets.
- The need to find, interview and select a vendor, sign contracts and establish relationships for each new project.
- Resource instability. Changes and disruption in the team demand re-training, and result in lost resource skills and project knowledge.
- Failure to protect Intellectual Property (IP), Data and User Privacy.
And even if you CAN find a vendor or partner with the right skills, many businesses report delays and gaps in the actual delivery of completed projects. A skilled developer may be pulled from your project to satisfy another client and, when it is time for that developer to work on your project, they may not be available. You may find that the vendor is unavailable on certain days or during certain hours because of time zone differences or project overload.

By combining experience in software development and project management, and a unique understanding of the software lifecycle, training and skills requirements, with a deep and broad network from which the partner can draw you are assured of the right skills, experience and talent – without delays or default.
