Still debating between outsourcing and in-house production? To help you decide, we’ve outlined the key advantages of IT outsourcing and how it can benefit your business.
When Is It Beneficial to Outsource?
A project is out of your expertise
Imagine your company specializes in enterprise accounting software and serves several key clients in the industry. Now, one of those clients requests a mobile app, which falls outside your expertise. Taking on the project yourself could be time-consuming, costly, and risky—especially if the final product doesn't meet expectations, potentially damaging your reputation. By choosing to outsource, you can ensure high-quality results while maintaining client satisfaction and safeguarding your business relationships.
Lack of qualified management
When your team lacks the qualified management resources to oversee a large group of QA engineers and developers needed to deliver your product, poor IT management can lead to inflated production costs. To prevent this, it's wiser to outsource production, ensuring predefined costs and a controlled level of risk.
Want to bring innovation
IT outsourcing agencies usually have an impressive project portfolio. If the contactor works with a number of clients, the only way to retain and satisfy them all is to use cutting-edge technologies. This means that such people are qualified and can bring the latest approaches and technologies to your employees, thus increasing overall innovation level in your company.
You need a one-time job
Imagine you need to deploy new server software but don't want to hire an expensive full-time specialist for a one-off task. After completing the job, you'd either need to assign them unrelated tasks or let them go, wasting time and resources on recruitment, onboarding, and training. In this case, outsourcing is the more efficient and cost-effective solution.
You urgently need a particular specialist
For example, if the scope of a project unexpectedly expands or a key employee leaves, you may urgently need a highly skilled specialist to meet the deadline. Recruiting top talent can be time-consuming and challenging. In such cases, a virtual software development team is the perfect solution. You can request a developer with proven expertise and use them as much or as long as needed, ensuring the project stays on track without the delays of hiring in-house.
Face an issue of quickly-rotating staff
For instance, if your support engineers tend to leave after just a year, but it takes three months for them to learn internal processes, outsourcing becomes a smarter option. Your outsourcing partner will handle personnel training and onboarding, ensuring continuity and zero downtime in operations, without the hassle of frequent turnover.
