Build Your Own Software Team and Enjoy Outsourcing Excellence
There are many kinds of software and technology projects. A business might have a great idea for a mobile app to serve the market, or it may require a new business solution or integration of existing solutions to better serve the needs of the team and the management. Perhaps the enterprise has an ongoing need for support, development, integration or other tasks and activities, but the internal IT team is too busy to satisfy that need. Maybe the internal IT team does not have the necessary skills to work on a project that incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) or other new frameworks, platforms or technologies.
According to WiFiTalents Research Report, the trend toward businesses embracing IT outsourcing in the U.S. cites a 59% cost reduction in development, and a 20% time-to-market reduction for tech startups, with 52% using outsourcing to accelerate digital transformation. But, there is a downside. According to this research report, 53% flag “lack of control” as the biggest risk.
‘The traditional outsourcing model presents risks as team members assigned to your project rotate out to serve other clients.’
But, don’t dismiss the concept of outsourcing too quickly! If your single project, or ongoing technology support needs prompt you to consider outsourcing, there is better way to satisfy your needs, ensure enterprise control, and build a foundation for success. Your organization can enjoy the benefits of outsourcing without the risk, by using the Build Your Own Team concept.
When you select an outsourcing IT partner using this concept, you can bring a team with specific skills online quickly – one that aligns with your goals, environment and requirements. The team applies standards for review, documentation, and QA, and can work with your internal team to act as an extension of your staff.
The traditional outsourcing model presents risks as team members assigned to your project rotate out to serve other clients. When that happens, your organization loses precious time and knowledge and must invest in training new team members to support the work. In a dedicated ‘build your own team’ environment, you can depend on continuity across features, architecture and project milestones, etc. This approach ensures stability and collaboration and allows the business to set priorities and stay on schedule.
If your priorities change, or your enterprise must pivot, you can add roles to support front end, or backend needs or escalate a timeline. There is no need to recruit, hire or train internal IT to support your needs, and you avoid the costs of benefits and, in many cases, the cost of facilities to support the staff.
In the build your own team model, the IT partner works with you to assess your needs, and provides the appropriate team member, with the right knowledge, experience and training, so you can reduce manual overhead and improve delivery schedules.
The Build Your Own Software Team model engages the IT partner and client to define roles and establish the criteria for success, assembling a dedicated software development team to suit your technical standards, workflow and project or ongoing support roadmap.
This approach allows your organization to complete the onboarding process quickly and easily, and align team skills and experience with your needs so you can scale your software development as your priorities change.
