Team completion and extension

One of DataArt's key offerings is completion of in-house IT teams on demand, providing top personnel to complement your own.

Below we outlined a common situation which leads a client to employ DataArt’s services:

Situation:

Our existing IT team is good, but it lacks certain skills and can't be expanded quickly enough without ruining the budget. We'd like to have the department completed by an outsourcing team; however we don't want to change our style and processes.

Concerns:

A client is often concerned with these common issues:

• Will our people work well with 'the other' guys?
• Will we loose much time and information in the constant email correspondence? It seems much easier to explain the task to a person at the next desk vs. overseas!
• We know our processes might not be perfect, however we don't want to be blamed every time something is missing in the documentation... we want consultants to help us.

It's natural that companies don't want to loose their existing best teams and practices, and of course they shouldn't sacrifice them in favor of an outsourcing relationship. Most buyers of outsourcing services say that finding the right chemistry between their internal staff and their off-site consultants is the number one issue. It is a problem with many faces – you have to count in cultural differences, software process maturity levels, communication skills, intra-team styles and many other factors.
