Don’t Add IT Resources, Add an IT Partner!

When Your IT Needs Outstrip Your Team, Look for a Partner!

If your business is anything like your competition, your IT team is overwhelmed with ongoing activities, with special projects, reporting, maintenance and other activities that seem to take up every minute of the day. If a business manager or an executive wishes to undertake an application development project to improve business productivity, or a consumer application development project to increase revenue, or a major technology infrastructure project to improve, and enhance performance, scalability, security or other factors within the organization, your IT team is likely too busy to accommodate the need.

Even if they CAN find time to execute these tasks, the projects may require specialized skills that your team does not possess. In that case, the enterprise will have to expand its IT facilities to accommodate the new team members they must recruit, hire and pay. And what is to become of these team members when the project is finished? Will the organization still need their services, or will the enterprise be forced to contract its team again, leaving it with expensive facilities space it does not need?

Such are the challenges of a small or medium sized business owner. The fact is that your vision, your dream may be compromised by the inability to staff your projects. And that isn’t the only risk. If your business is expanding or must meet competitive response, it may be at risk of falling short if it cannot staff those crucial projects.

Not Enough IT Resources or Skills? Don’t Despair! The Right Partner Has What You Need

There is an answer to these challenges and, as with so many other things in life, the answer lies in building a team, in trusting the support of a partner to help you get the job done! According to recent studies 92% of the Global 2000 companies use IT outsourcing.

Build Your Own Software Team Without Hiring Staff

When your business undertakes a software product or software application project, the in-house team can be overwhelmed. Even if your technology team has the skills to complete a project of this scope, it is nearly impossible to handle day-to-day and strategically planned projects at the same time. BUT, if the business decides to hire an IT consultant, that can be a challenging path as well.

Studies estimate that ‘75% of rapidly growing companies are planning to spend on software this year,’ and that ‘64% of outsourced services are related to software application development.’ If your business wishes to create a software product, a mobile app or a business application, and your team is understaffed or under-skilled, you are not alone. Many businesses are considering expert services to complete their project, and sometimes to support, maintain and upgrade the resulting software solution.

 

‘If you select a service provider that takes a Build Your Own Team approach, you will be assured of appropriate resources, skills and availability to guarantee timely delivery, an integrated approach to the development lifecycle and a focus on YOU as a business client.’

 

When a 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.

When your business considers an offshore outsourcing relationship or a partnership with an IT consulting firm, it must ensure that the vendor offers a full suite of services AND that these services are available on a dedicated basis as and when the project demands a certain skillset or technology team focus.

The Build Your Own Software Team Approach Enables Software Development Without Hiring Staff

  • Support, maintenance and upgrades
  • 24/7 customer communication
  • A Build Your Own Team approach to ensure availability of appropriate resources
