Staff Augmentation
Extend your team's capacity today
Do you sometimes need resource augmentation to help you complete projects on time, on budget and to spec?
Also known as flexible resourcing, team augmentation or team extension, staff augmentation is a flexible way of building your dream project team. It provides the skilled people you need without tying you into a long-term contract. With the ability to scale up and down, this is a truly flexible way of working.
Using staff augmentation enables you to access the right skills at the right time without any HR obligations. We take on all the hiring so that you benefit from our team’s expertise without the hassle of recruitment.
If you need extra hands on deck, simply discuss your requirements with us and we’ll match them to our pool of:
● Business analysts
● Developers
● Project managers
● Testers
Let our team of experts, become an extension of yours.
Popular staff augmentation scenarios include:
No HR obligations
Hiring a whole development team
Maintain a level of control
Hiring developers but keeping the project-management in-house
Lower risk
Hiring all of our resources to deliver a project from end to end
Flex up or down
Hiring Business Analysts to scope out a project to be developed in-house
How can we help you minimise frustrations, risks and issues?
Preventing recruitment delays
We will match you with the perfect person in far less time than it would take to place a job ad, sift through applications and schedule interviews.
Reducing Scope Creep
Our detailed specifications, based on business and user needs, will be clearly communicated to the project team and stakeholders.
Reducing conflict
Preventing slippage
Realistic schedules will be implemented and monitored.
We can provide additional resource to ensure you stay on track if deadlines are brought forward or you experience staffing issues.
Minimising post-launch disruption
We will help you identify, discuss and resolve any issues at an early stage. This will reduce rework costs and minimise any potential embarrassment and damage to your reputation.
Minimising overspending
We will create accurate budget predictions and control your costs throughout the project lifecycle.
We will also take responsibility for any recruitment, holiday, sickness and training costs associated with our team.
Facilitating problem solving
We will share knowledge and examples of best practice gained from working on hundreds of projects.
Keeping legacy systems going
We will provide the expertise you need to maintain legacy systems, as and when you need it.
"Staff augmentation gives you the flexibility of increasing or decreasing headcount or switching one skillset for another... with no hard feelings or recruitment costs!"
