Staff Augmentation Models

IT Staff Augmentation

The IT staff augmentation outsourcing model is essentially an extended team model. The outsourcing company brings in vetted professionals to work alongside the in-house team. This is ideal for teams that need additional talent or specialized skill sets to complete projects. It is also a highly flexible model that can be applied to a wide range of projects and can be scaled up or down depending on the needs and requirements of the in-house team. In this model, the outsourced team members do everything the in-house team members do, including reporting to your own managers and attending meetings and check-ins regularly.

When to Choose IT Staff Augmentation?

Staff augmentation is an ideal solution for short-term projects where you need specific expertise and specialized skill sets. It is also a helpful model for when your project demands flexibility in terms of team size and scalability.
