What Is the Difference Between Outsourcing and Outstaffing?
What is the difference between outsourcing and outstaffing? Although both models share many similarities, they shouldn’t be confused, as they are used in different situations and serve different purposes. We’ve compared these models for you so you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Learn more
Outsourcing
- The vendor is responsible for code quality
- Minimal management efforts
- No hiring effort required
- Significant cost savings
When to Use?
If a company needs a tech solution but is not technology-focused, or it is a startup, the outsourcing model can be a good choice. It’s a great fit for small or one-time projects where project requirements, specifications and schedules are clearly defined and the development process strictly follows the time and cost estimates.
Outstaffing
- The client is responsible for code quality
- The client has full control over development
- A flexible hiring model with access to all team members
- Significant cost savings
When to Use?
If you already have a team of well-managed IT developers but you need extra hands for a project, then the outstaffing model will suit you best. It’s suitable for large or ongoing projects where resources and time can’t be estimated upfront.
How to Outsource Software Development?
At SCAND, we take an individual approach to each customer as project scopes and requirements may vary. Some clients turn to us with a brief project description, while others provide comprehensive information, such as documentation, designs, mockups, or wireframes. No matter what requirements you have, we are always ready to help you find an optimal option. Learn how to start working with us:
1. Requirements Analysis
We thoroughly review your requirements and business objectives and select the right outsourcing model. We create a strategic roadmap that will serve as the foundation for the software development project.
2. SLA Preparation
Before we start working on your project, we need to evaluate project complexity and define all the work to be done to identify unforeseen risks and avoid costly delays. The software development team takes the compiled goals and requirements and creates a set of deliverables and deadlines.
3. Delivery and Reporting
Software developers start writing code and building the most important features first. We test your system and ensure that it works as intended, is free of bugs, and that sensitive data is protected from cyber threats. We also report back on the progress at each stage of your project development.
4. Post-Release Support
Once the development process is complete we create a strategy for deployment and further software optimization. This strategy ensures that any unidentified bugs and errors are fixed when users report issues to developers. In addition, we add new features and improve the product based on collected user feedback.
How to Hire a Dedicated Team?
We offer a variety of engagement models for our customers to choose from. For long-term partnerships, we recommend hiring a dedicated team of software developers, which ensures knowledge retention, IP security, quick team scalability, and a smooth communication process.
