Flexibilty In Staffing Levels And Skill Sets
No one likes to lay off staff, but the unpredictable nature of demand
sometimes requires it. On the other hand, recruiting candidates with the
appropriate skill sets and experience and bringing them up to speed in
your environment can be a daunting and time-consuming proposition - diverting
resources from your core mission.
Outsourcing companies like Brickred have more projects and can thus manage staffing capacity much more
efficiently. If you don't need our developers anymore, we just reassign them to something else. Outsourcing
allows you to transform your IT budget from a fixed to a variable cost.
Experience
There are three broad areas of IT expertise
- Business Analysis (knowing how a business works and how software can improve things);
- Technical Skills (the power cord is connected to the power supply, the power supply is connected to the heat fan, etc); and
- Project Management Skills (what has to happen to get some work done on time and on budget).
Your company may be good at all these things or at none of them. IT outsourcers may also be good at all
three or at none of them. The market is fragmented and it's hard to judge quality unless you already know
somebody who has worked with a company before. One way to find out would be to hire a consultant who can
assess the outsourcer. Another way is to execute a short project with the outsourcer. If you are considering
a long-term relationship, either may be a smart investment.
Flexibility
Offshore Software Development is synonymous with flexibility. When facing a large project but of short
duration, you can use Offshore programming to limit the number of new employees and administrative
support personnel. BrickRed allows you to double the number of programmers you have access to and better
yet, we are just a phone call away.
Cost Benefits
For start-up companies, the benefits of Offshore Software Development can be monumental for the simple
fact that it allows you to go farther on your VC funding. The costs of Offshore software Development are
much lower than hiring programmers to fulfill your design. Our past experience with our international clients
makes us very confident that we will deliver the best possible quality, at significant cost savings to you,
every time! . Offshore outsourcing price-wise is hard to beat.
Independence
Offshore development offers another
major advantage: independence. Most software vendors or investors cannot
conduct independent analyses of their own or their competitors' products.
BrickRed not only performs development work but also can obtain the competition's
software for evaluation purposes for clients. This ability allows us to
ask the questions you want answered and not disclose client identity.
