Build your global extended IT team to meet business needs round the clock

Scalability

Traditional staffing methods are, to put simply, rigid and inflexible. When there are shifts in the company’s performance or within the industry, companies find it difficult to react well, which too often leads to reactions like letting go of much of its workforce. Staff augmentation is a solution that is fundamentally flexible and as such ideal for companies that experience regular shifts in demand. A team that is working on a project may run into certain issues that it feels are out of its depth and so can scale up to meet certain standards.

Highly-skilled short-term

Let’s just say that your current crop of devs are outstanding. They deliver top-class projects. But sometimes, you may take on a project that actually needs very specific skills which your current team may not have. Expanding your capacity to broaden your skills will contribute to a successful project. And because it adds workers to your team, you’re more capable of hitting your deadlines – hell, you can even set up aggressive deadlines and smash them with the help of staff aug.

Higher efficiency

An accumulating issue of businesses is fixed costs, which are something that can partially be suppressed by using short-term remote workers. Without accumulating the costs of full-time employees, businesses can keep costs low while elevating efficiency.

Better management

Staff augmentation benefits businesses because it means that they have greater control over workers. This is because they are directly responsible for the tasks of the augmented staff and their integration with the team. From start to finish the business takes full control.

Cut Costs Without Sacrificing Quality

Staff augs are able to provide a company with quality services on a short-term basis so that there are no long-term commitments to honor. And more specifically, an advantage to smaller businesses is that it reduces the necessity to sustain certain things like insurance and taxes.

Keeping ahead of the curve

In certain cases, businesses that expand their capacity can take advantage and stay ahead of the curve. Take, for example, the following scenario: you have a smallish company that is developing a new product to launch but you know that other competitors may be planning to drop a similar product. So you can expand your capacity by hiring flexible workers on a part-time basis.
