FAQ

What are IT staff augmentation services?

Staff augmentation involves hiring temporary staff for your team to achieve specific business goals. In the IT sector, this practice is especially valuable due to the diverse and specialized expertise required. IT staff augmentation services enable businesses to hire talented technical developers and engineers on-demand, adapting to evolving project needs and challenges.

What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed IT services?

With managed IT services, you’re outsourcing the full or partial management of your IT assets to a managed services company like Startechup. Therefore, managed services typically have a goal or objective. In contrast, staff augmentation often doesn’t have a specific goal or objective because they are augmenting - adding to - fill skill gaps in your in-house team. With IT staff augmentation, you can hire on-demand technical talent, getting the skills you need without committing to a long-term contract.

What are the benefits of staff augmentation?

There are so many benefits to staff augmentation for your IT project.

- Tech talent: Staff augmentation enables you to access highly specialized skills that allow you to build innovative features or solve complex challenges. When you partner with a team augmentation company, you can get immediate access to a vast talent pool and experienced team, with access to ongoing training.

- Wider team: Staff augmentation doesn't just give you access to top technical talent. You also get access to a wider dedicated team, including an account manager, project manager, and business analyst.

- Cost-effective: Sometimes, you need tech talent for short-term job positions. Hiring a local team and expanding your office space for short-term or part-time software development capabilities can be cost-ineffective. Staff augmentation allows you to keep your costs low by accessing expertise on-demand whenever you need it. This allows you to lower your software development operational costs.

- Productivity: The staff augmentation model can also help your in-house developers and engineers manage their workload. This gives your in-house dev team the freedom and time they need to drive project progress and ensure the project's success.

- Flexibility: Staff augmentation services come with flexible cooperation models, meaning you can get a dedicated team in minimal time and scale quickly with a service designed for flexibility. We are a world-class SaaS development partner, with an experienced team in software development ready to join your internal development teams. Whether you have a specific outcome or you want to realize the general benefits of IT staff augmentation, reach out to us today.

What is outstaffing?

Outstaffing is when you hire individuals or a team through a vendor, like Startechup. You directly manage these developers, engineers, and project managers, but they are officially full-time employees of our company.

What staff augmentation resources should I hire for my digital transformation?

Organizations may need to augment their existing staff with specialized skills and expertise when embarking on a digital transformation initiative. Here are a few staff augmentation resources that organizations may consider hiring for their digital transformation efforts:

Data scientists and analysts: These professionals are skilled in using data to inform business decisions and can help organizations make sense of the large amounts of data they collect.
Cloud architects and engineers: These professionals can help organizations design and implement cloud-based infrastructure and platforms to support digital transformation initiatives.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning engineers: These professionals can help organizations incorporate AI and machine learning capabilities into their digital solutions. They can help develop and implement AI models, select the appropriate AI techniques and technologies, and optimize performance.
Digital experience designers and user researchers: These professionals can help organizations design and deliver better digital experiences for customers and employees.
Agile coaches and Scrum masters: These professionals can help organizations adopt Agile development methodologies, which can be critical for digital transformation initiatives.
Quality Assurance (QA) developers: They verify that the software conforms to all quality standards and identify and troubleshoot any issues before deployment, to ensure a high-quality product for the end-users.
Project managers: These professionals can help organizations manage digital transformation initiatives. They can administer, plan and execute projects, manage risks and issues, and track progress.

Overall, staff augmentation resources can provide organizations with the specialized skills and expertise they need to implement digital transformation initiatives.

What is the difference between team augmentation services and outsourcing services?

When you outsource an IT project, all the work is handled by an IT services company like Startechup. That’s different from staff augmentation, which is when you just outsource some of the technical talent to support your in-house team in managing workload. An augmented staff member will have more interaction with your in-house development team and existing team, forming an extended team on either an ongoing or temporary basis.

What is staff augmentation consulting?

We provide staff augmentation consulting services designed to reduce your IT and development costs. Our expertise guides you through key decisions, such as determining the number of engineers needed, identifying required skill sets, and integrating temporary workers. By assembling an augmented team tailored to your specific needs, you can manage your project budget more effectively and acquire specialized skills for the precise duration required.

For example, if you need AR and VR technologies in your project, our team can help you assess the requirements and determine the best course of action. This allows you to manage your project budget effectively by bringing in exactly the specialized skills you need for a short period of time.

What is an augmentation company?

An IT staff augmentation company, like Startechup, offers technical IT staff to support your in-house team. We have developers, engineers, and project managers ready to integrate virtually into your team.

If you're looking for the right partner for your development project or IT project, you should look for an IT staff augmentation company with a proven track record of project delivery and client satisfaction. It's also important to investigate the expertise within the company, assessing if they have remote developers and top talent with the skills needed to work on your initiatives.

Startechup is a custom software development company, with dedicated teams for IT staff augmentation services. Our remote development team includes a wide range of experienced project managers, remote developers, software engineers, QA engineers, DevOps administrators, and product managers. Get in touch today to discover why our clients are always extremely satisfied.

How is outstaffing different from outsourcing?

We recommend outstaffing to clients who want to feel like they’re really expanding their team without having to deal with all the hassle of official employment. With outstaffing, you manage the staff and their workloads, and the same team will stay with you on an ongoing basis.

In contrast, outsourcing is when you offload a specific project or asset to an outsourcing vendor like Startechup. In this case, we manage the project, project workload, and project quality and deliver project work back to you at fixed project deadlines.

That’s why outsourcing is a better option for companies that need more support through the IT development process.

What specialized developers are accessible through our staff augmentation services?

To supplement your in-house development team, staff augmentation services typically provide the following types of developers:

Front-end developers: As experts in the client-side of web development, we are masters of crafting a captivating user interface and an enjoyable user experience. Consequently, our team is well versed with languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create remarkable applications for our clients.
Back-end developers: Highly knowledgeable in server-side web development, skilled developers are responsible for constructing the business logic and internal database interactions of a website application. Expertise in programming languages like Python, Ruby, and Java is essential.
Full-stack developers: Knowledgeable in both the front-end and back-end of web development, our Fullstack developers are capable of operating on the client-side as well as server-side of an application.
DevOps engineers: Expertly knowledgeable in crafting automated software development processes, they are familiar with cutting-edge tools like Git, Jenkins, and Ansible.
Mobile application developers: Our team specializes in developing applications for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets using languages like Swift and Java. We are experts in creating user-friendly interfaces that will provide the best experience to your customers. With our knowledge, you can ensure that your app is fast, reliable, secure and optimized for all types of mobile device platforms.

Startechup procurement process flow

The Startechup procurement process flow can be summarized into four key steps. First, an Introduction call is conducted in order to get to know the potential client and assess their needs. Second, a project assessment is carried out in order to determine the scope of work and what resources will be required. Third, a project execution proposal is drafted and presented to the client for approval. Fourth, once the proposal is accepted, an agreement is drawn up and both parties sign it. This marks the beginning of the project and Startechup’s commitment to seeing it through to completion. While this process may seem long and tedious, it is essential in ensuring that both parties are on the same page and that Startechup has a clear understanding of the client’s expectations

Most common project execution framework

We mostly use the most popular project execution frameworks: Agile project management. This tool is designed to provide real-time communication between project managers and team members in order to efficiently execute tasks and deliverables. The Agile framework is based on a set of principles that emphasize iterative development, customer collaboration, and continuous improvement. One of the key features of Agile project management is the daily and weekly standup meetings. These meetings help to ensure that everyone on the team is aware of the project’s progress and obstacles. As a result, all project stakeholders are up to date on every step of the project.

Powerful project tracker tool developed by Startechup

Startechup has developed a powerful project tracker tool that can help organizations keep track of time, budget and resources spent on projects. Through the tool our team members send weekly project plan and weekly wrap-up by email. We integrated data from common 3rd party in software development, like Bitbucket (similar to GitHub or Gitlab), communications on the project Slack channel. It helps clients, managers, employees to see the time they have left to complete a project, estimate the time required to complete each tasks, and make sure we stay compliant with budget and project timeframe. Startechup project tracker is a powerful tool, for clients and project managers, to monitor the progress of a project and ensure that it is on track. Startechup project tracker tool is a valuable resource for any organization that wants to improve its project management capabilities on software development projects.
