Understanding staff augmentation 2.0: Full-time equivalent model & beyond
Top 5 challenges of IT staffing & how TechAhead is solving them for global businesses
Top 10 IT outsourcing companies in 2022
Staff augmentation refers to outsourcing workers to meet project demands aligned with the organization’s staffing objectives. If your team lacks the required number of developers for a particular project, staff augmentation allows you to hire additional talent quickly, accelerating project completion and launch without the need for long-term employment commitments of full-time employees.
The main distinction between staff augmentation and outsourcing lies in the level of control and risk sharing. Staff augmentation involves hiring additional IT resources directly, granting greater control over the team and mitigating risks associated with negative outcomes. Conversely, outsourcing entails assigning developers to a specific outcome, sharing risks with the vendor, and offering lower control over the process.
The difference between Team Augmentation and Managed Services lies in control and involvement. The managed service contractor independently oversees all aspects of the software development lifecycle, requiring minimal in-house tech expertise or time investment from the client. However, it often results in less transparency regarding the assigned team, ongoing project development, and decision-making processes. In contrast, staff augmentation allows clients to retain direct control and visibility over their augmented team’s activities.
Choosing staff augmentation over hiring independent contractors offers several advantages. Businesses get to access a broader talent pool without committing to full-time employment, providing flexibility to engage tech professionals on a project basis. Additionally, it enables access to fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and industry best practices gained from contractors’ diverse experiences, contributing to project success.
Ease of hiring is the primary factor for the popularity of staff augmentation in the tech industry. The model allows quick access to a vast pool of software specialists, supporting the agile distribution of IT workforce across businesses, thus efficiently meeting increased hiring needs and project timelines. Unlike in-house team hiring, staff augmentation streamlines the process, enabling swift onboarding of an external team or talent for urgent or complex projects, ultimately ensuring market competitiveness and timely project delivery without long-drawn administrative procedures.
Staff augmentation and outsourcing to dedicated teams may seem similar, but there’s a crucial distinction: the outsourcing vendor assumes more responsibility for the latter. With staff augmentation, you directly manage remote developers, while with a dedicated team, the entire outsourced team operates under the vendor’s supervision. Dedicated teams typically work with multiple clients, and the vendor handles salary reviews, whereas clients manage these aspects in staff augmentation.
Staff augmentation is a viable option in several scenarios. It can bolster your in-house team’s capabilities when launching a new product or project, ensuring you have the necessary expertise without a lengthy ramp-up time. Additionally, it helps bridge tech skill gaps for concurrent projects that require experienced developers with particular skills. Moreover, if you need to expand your team or meet tight deadlines quickly, the right staff augmentation model offers a swift solution, allowing you to build an extended team accessing a global talent pool without the lengthy hiring process. It is also a solution when other outsourcing models don’t align with your needs for control and seamless integration.
