companies turn to augmenting their it
[22]
staff when they have more work to do
[23]
than they have internal staff to
[25]
complete it
[27]
instead of facing the tight recruiting
[29]
market in their home countries and
[30]
hiring more internal staff
[32]
they instead turn to it consulting
[34]
vendors who can provide the staff
[36]
members for them
[38]
the consulting company finds and vets
[40]
incoming candidates based on a client's
[42]

[63]
full-stack developers what does staff
[66]
augmentation mean to the day-to-day
[68]
functioning of your it department
[70]
that very much depends on the type of
[72]
consulting company you choose
[74]
and how they work at procoders
[78]
for instance we select clients who wish
[80]
to work with engineering talents
[82]
directly
[83]
staff is hired for your business are
[85]
dedicated to you
[87]
you can direct your hire as if they're
[89]
your own employee
[90]
plugging them in completely into your
[92]
own project management systems
[94]
the staff augmentation meaning comes
[96]
from how you define it
[98]
here's how our system works we match
[101]
coders to your job based on your needs
[103]
and your budget
[105]
we show you a selection of viable
[107]
options usually within a day
[110]
you interview the choices and select the
[112]
team of developers
[113]
or just one engineer for you you work
[116]
directly with the coders
[118]
as if they're your off-campus staff
[120]
handling daily direction
[122]
reporting and project management
[125]
clients are sent a monthly bill for the
[127]
time used
[129]
this amount is negotiated beforehand so
[131]
there's never any unpleasant surprises
[134]
here's where things can get a little
[136]
confusing
[137]
when it comes to what staff augmentation
[140]
means
[140]
it's not necessarily an umbrella term
[142]
for every kind of i t
[144]
consulting relationship yes
[147]
most kinds of i t consulting all augment
[150]
your staff if that's how you take your
[153]
meaning of the definition
[155]
but the true staff augmentation
[157]
definition is when you hire outsourced
[159]
staff for the long term
[161]
more than five months for companies that
[164]
are looking for those long-term
[165]
consulting relationships
[167]
there are a few ways to go about it
[169]
namely
[170]
hiring consultants nearby many companies
[173]
prefer to work with it consulting firms
[175]
that are nearby
[177]
so the developers they hire can work at
[179]
their offices
[180]
alongside their i.t employees near
[182]
nearshoring
[184]
if you're hiring your it outsourcing
[186]
company from within a one-hour time zone
[188]
difference radius of your home offices
[190]
you can define your staff augmentation
[192]
strategy as near short
[195]
offshoring when you fully open yourself
[197]
up to the option of offshoring
[199]
you'll find a huge variety of available
[201]
development resources
[203]
often at a fraction of what you'd expect
[205]
to pay in major european
[207]
north american or canadian cities and
[210]
don't assume your developers won't be
[211]
able to speak english
[213]
or work for you within business hours
[216]
many consulting organizations
[218]
procoders included require english to be
[221]
spoken by their staff
[224]
benefits of staff augmentation strategy
[229]
available high quality talent fluent
[232]
english and the certifications you need
[234]
from your staff
[236]
that's what you can expect in the
[237]
outsourcing market
[240]
scalability staff up staff down
[244]
flex your outsourced team around big new
[246]
development projects or redirect them to
[248]
maintenance jobs
[250]
customization when you have legacy hires
[253]
in your it
[254]
department you have to work around their
[256]
skills and abilities
[258]
cost this is one of the key areas where
[260]
clients can benefit the most
[263]
round-the-clock teamwork if you choose a
[265]
far-away development team for your next
[267]
staff augmentation project
[269]
you may actually improve productivity
[272]
its staff augmentation model
[274]
disadvantages
[278]
time zone differences as we mentioned
[281]
before this can be an advantage or a
[283]
disadvantage
[284]
depending on how your outsourced firm
[286]
handles the situation
[288]
lost in translation agreeing on
[291]
languages spoken is key to the
[292]
definition of your staff augmentation
[294]
project
[296]
poor connection to the team a bad team
[298]
connection can be a management nightmare
[301]
ensure you've talked air through all the
[303]
angles before you start
[306]
in general we define staff augmentation
[309]
is an arrangement between client and
[311]
outsourcing company to provide it
[313]
services over the long term
[315]
and a build in open-ended monthly
[317]
retainers
[318]
the differences in how the work is
[320]
administered
[322]
classic outsourcing the perfect choice
[324]
for a client who wants to be more
[326]
hands-off
[327]
outsourcing means you'll work directly
[329]
with the project manager
[331]
not the developers staff
[334]
augmentation the more precise definition
[337]
this long-term arrangement features your
[339]
outstaffed members reporting directly to
[342]
you
[342]
and operating much like your internal
[344]
staff does
[346]
we recommend a staff augmentation
[348]
definition to your employees that is
[350]
clear and reassuring
[352]
explain exactly what the role of the
[354]
additional staff will be
[356]
and how that will impact day-to-day
[358]
operations project reporting
[360]
a chain of command and more emphasize
[363]
that you don't plan on downsizing the
[365]
number of people you employ on the
[367]
company's direct payroll
[369]
so what does staff augmentation mean to
[372]
your organization
[373]
the answer isn't so simple and varies
[376]
depends on the type and scale of project
[378]
help needed at your company
[380]
if you do your homework before you begin
[382]
your interviews
[384]
and give your staff augmentation firm a
[386]
clear definition of the projects and
[387]
their meaning for your business goals
[389]
you'll get your consulting arrangement
[391]
up and running fast
[393]

[395]
