There is still a tendency in the IT industry to reduce costs and improve the operational efficiency of projects. Because of this, staffing and project outsourcing are great solutions for companies that are trying to fulfill their technology needs.

The main dissimilarity between IT staff augmentation and project outsourcing is that in the final one, the provider has the project’s control and the responsibility of the management of the project and shows the final product. On the other side, with staff augmentation you will have in-house software developers. They will work next to your company’s group to get different outcomes.

Evaluation for choosing IT Outsourcing

1. If you don't have engineering staff and experience to develop software and features you want.
2. If the desired value of the product is important for business and building engineers can't give it.

Evaluation for choosing IT Staff Augmentation

1. For jobs that require specific skills you do not have in your team.
2. When you want to increase your response time.
3. If you do not want long-term contracts with software engineers.

Hybrid approach

With a hybrid approach, engineering teams can be divided according to requirements and responsibilities, since a project can be handled through outsourcing and another part of the project can be developed internally. This approach requires remote team customization.
