What is Staff Augmentation and when do you need to extend your software development team?

Staff augmentation is the way to improve your workforce by adding qualified technical talent from abroad. This can be both long-term and short-term collaboration, in which all legal and paperwork is handled by the service provider. 

 

Staff augmentation is a sought after type of outsourcing, when your team gets quick access to the right specialists with the right technology. As a result, your business goals and objectives are quickly achieved in a cost-effective manner.

What is the next step after the project is completed? Collaboration with an extended team also ends. This is one of the advantages of team augmentation: in case of an urgent task, you receive highly qualified experts only to solve it without the obligation to prolong this cooperation. 

What other benefits does staff augmentation bring? Let’s discuss this in a nutshell.

Instead of listing all its features, we’ll highlight the key points:

  • If you lack qualified staff, your internal team can be expanded by experienced technicians from another company or even a country;
  • All paperwork and legal issues of such cooperation are handled by the service provider;
  • Cooperation with an extended team can be both short-term and long-term;
  • The cost of such services is lower compared to the cost of services provided in-house.
