Scale Up Faster With IT Staff Augmentation Services

The IT staff augmentation model means hiring outsourced specialists as an additional workforce on a temporary or permanent basis. By utilizing this model, you can easily fill a talent gap to complete tasks or take on roles that may be beyond the capabilities of your current staff. 

Interested in a team extension? Upsilon boasts an extensive talent pool that can perfectly fit your software development needs.

Here are the signs when team augmentation services can be the best fit for your startup:

• Your in-house team lacks specialized skills and expertise, and you want quickly fill this “void”;
• You develop and release within a tight schedule: with team augmentation, you can ramp up your technical capacity while chasing stringent deadlines;
• You want to free your company from the hassle of searching and recruiting vetted development talent;
• You want to retain 100% control over the project.

Does all of this describe your current needs on the project? We are ready to help.

Under a staff augmentation model, you maintain direct and complete control over all processes. When tapping into a managed services model, your tech partner assumes external control of your non-core systems, managing all aspects of their functioning. A managed team operates independently of your in-house team, with an outsourced Project Manager overseeing daily operations and workflows.

Which method works best for a startup?

• If you work under deadline pressure and need to fill specific gaps “here and now,” - you should consider staff augmentation as the number one choice. This model provides maximum flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
• The managed services option can be more efficient if you want to outsource the project from start to finish. You will have a dedicated team that takes full responsibility for the project. Since this makes your IT outsourcing costs predictable, you can save money over the long term.

Both models are viable alternatives to an in-house team, but which model to choose depends on your project type and size.
