IT Outstaffing Services

IT outstaffing is a cooperation model in which skilled professionals—such as software developers, UI/UX designers, quality assurance engineers, and more—are contracted through an outstaffing provider but work under the direct management of your client company. In other words, they become part of your in house team virtually, though they remain officially employed by the outstaffing company.

This structure offers many of the benefits of expanding your own development team—like full oversight of daily tasks and the development process—without requiring you to handle HR, payroll, and compliance obligations. You retain the decision-making control, from assigning job duties to choosing the technology stack. Meanwhile, the outstaffing modelabsolves you from certain operational costs and paperwork traditionally associated with hiring in house employees.

      Outsourcing vs. Outstaffing

      When discussing outsourcing and outstaffing, it’s important to clarify the nuances.

        Software Outsourcing

        • Outsourcing refers to contracting an outsourcing agency to handle your whole project or significant parts of it.
        • The vendor organizes project managers, designs the team composition, and decides on the technology stack—often with minimal input from your side, beyond initial project requirements.
        • This approach removes the burden of daily project monitoring but also reduces direct control over development stages and even design decisions.
        Software Outsourcing

        IT Outstaffing

        • In IT outstaffing services, the client company recruits individual experts (or an entire team) through an outstaffing company.
        • These experts remain under your management as if they’re part of your in house team, participating in regular updates, stand-up meetings, code reviews, and more.
        • The difference is that they’re officially employed elsewhere, freeing you from direct HR responsibilities such as tax compliance, benefits, insurance, etc.
        IT Outstaffing

        Key Distinction: While software outsourcing delegates most responsibilities to the vendor, IT outstaffing keeps the authority over daily tasks and project scope firmly in your hands.

          Why Choose the Outstaffing Model?

          The outstaffing model stands as a middle ground between staff augmentation—which is often short-term—and a dedicated team, which typically implies a comprehensive, longer-term engagement for software development. Here’s why IT outstaffing services might be the right choice for your business:

            • Enhanced Control

              Because outstaffed professionals work under your guidance, you maintain direct oversight of their daily tasks, deliverables, and deadlines. Unlike software outsourcing, where control can be limited, you can adapt your methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, etc.) as you see fit.

            • Flexibility & Scalability

              Staffing services offer the flexibility to add or remove skilled professionals based on real-time market demands. This helps you keep your overhead low while mobilizing resources exactly when you need them.

            • Faster Project Delivery

              By leveraging our extensive talent pool and fast hiring process, Softwarium enables you to reduce the time spent on recruitment. You can then focus on the project demands, roadmap, and development process, ultimately resulting in faster project delivery.

            • Reduced Costs

              Hiring in house staff comes with added costs: recruiting, training, benefits, and office space, to name a few. Under the outstaffing model, these expenses are minimized. We handle the official employment of each professional, including administrative tasks like payroll and taxation.

            • Broad Access to Expertise

              Since outstaffing organizations often have a diverse technology stack at their disposal, you can bring on highly specialized roles—for example, blockchain engineers or machine learning experts—without having to build those teams from scratch.

                Comparing IT Outstaffing with Other Collaboration Models

                Often, businesses aren’t sure which model suits their unique challenges and project lifecycle. Here’s how IT outstaffing services line up against other main cooperation models in the industry:

                  Staff Augmentation

                  • Typically focuses on short-term, gap-filling engagements.
                  • Outstaffing can overlap with staff augmentation but often implies more formal contracts and potentially longer-term involvement.
                  Staff Augmentation

                  Software Development Outsourcing

                  • The vendor handles almost all the tasks, from planning to implementation.
                  • You have limited day-to-day involvement, which can be beneficial if you want to offload management but less ideal if you desire high project control.
                  Software Development Outsourcing

                  Dedicated Team

                  • Involves setting up a permanent or semi-permanent cohesive team that works exclusively on your projects.
                  • Closer to the outstaffing approach but usually includes more integrated project oversight, possibly with the vendor supplying project managers, BAs, and more under a single, longer contract.

                        Best Practices for Managing Remote Teams

                        Even with a solid outstaffing provider, managing teams effectively requires thoughtful strategies:

                        • Clear Communication

                          • Use platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom to keep everyone aligned.

                          • Adopt standardized meeting cadences: daily stand-ups, weekly sprint reviews, and monthly strategy sessions.

                        • Define Project Scope & Milestones

                          • Provide thorough project demands and target deliverables at the outset.

                          • Use Agile or Scrum methodologies to break down tasks and maintain consistent project monitoring.

                        • Collaborative Tools

                          • Employ tools like Jira or Trello for task assignment and progress tracking.

                          • Version control systems (GitHub, GitLab) and code review practices ensure code quality.

                        • Time Zone Considerations

                          • If your company operates in a different time zone, schedule overlapping hours to enable real-time collaboration.

                          • Use asynchronous communication for tasks that do not require immediate feedback.

                        • Foster Team Culture

                          • Encourage a sense of camaraderie through virtual events or collaborative Slack channels.

                          • Recognize achievements publicly and celebrate milestones to keep morale high.

                        • Project Management Software

                          • Tools to coordinate sprints, tasks, and deliverables efficiently.

                          • Integrate these with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for an automated, well-orchestrated development.

                        By adopting these best practices, you enhance alignment, boost productivity, and maintain a cohesive team despite geographical distances.
