Dedicated Team Model is the approach based on bringing together business analysis, project management, and skilled external employees’ absorption. By taking over an entire project, a dedicated team will cover all the needs and risks that can occur on a project: from setups operations to project management and team’s architecture and functionality.
The dedicated team pricing system is simple and allows easy estimation. Based on an hourly rate, the client pays monthly bills according to the team size and structure.
Main costs a client has to take into account for working with dedicated team are:
- Hourly rate according to the team structure
- Travel expenses (if applicable)
- Management & communication for the project
The need to outsource usually comes in 3 main situations:
- lack of resources;
- lack of knowledge;
- lack of time.
and may be generated in the following contexts:
- the new (social and economic) context generates an unpredictable market dynamic. This dynamic directly influences your business evolution by:
- forcing your company to operate in new ways;
- determining you to re-prioritize your business with a digital focus;
- generating urgency in developing a rapid response to the current disruptions;
- managing the transition to new work models (work from home, hiring external teams, etc.).
- the competition became tougher – If you are working for a software development company, you are aware that every project counts. While all your competitors will try to attract new projects through persuasive arguments like costs and extended capabilities, you have to adapt fast to the clients’ specific needs and expectations and be ready to offer them a complete and competitive package of services.
- you need to rely on long-term profit – maintaining a good relationship with clients can guarantee you a long-term profit as long as you are able to respond fast to their contextual needs with a smart price-quality ratio.
