How ScienceSoft’s Approach Works to Your Benefit

Optimal pricing models

We recommend a fixed-price model if you have well-defined requirements and the scope of work is clear at the start. T&M or T&M with a cap (with an upper budget limit) models will be more suitable for long-term engagements with fluctuating workloads.

Flexibility in cooperation duration

We support both short-term and long-term team augmentation. You can hire our experts for a specific time-bound task or to do ongoing work with no firm time boundaries.

Smooth integration into your team

To collaborate effectively, we establish frequent and direct communication with your team members and ensure timely exchange of the latest project knowledge.

Work transparency

We use a tailored suite of KPI metrics (e.g., lead time, cycle time, deployment frequency) that meet your unique requirements and adjust the reporting format and schedule to your preferences.

Dedication to quality

ScienceSoft’s engineers stick to our ISO-certified quality management principles to ensure that our contributions meet the highest standards of technology excellence.

Attention to documentation

Even if we are temporarily involved in your project, we accurately document our work and fully comply with your requirements for documentation.

Complement Your Project Team with Extra Skills

Temporarily augmenting your team with ScienceSoft’s experts, you will manage to start and advance your project faster without committing to long-term staff employment.

Outsourcing Cooperation Models We Support

IT team augmentation

ScienceSoft’s employees temporarily join your technical team managed by your project manager. Fully staffed with the required skills, your project can move faster 1.5–2 times.

Best for: Businesses that need to augment established development teams with extra resources to face a tight project deadline or skill deficiency.

ScienceSoft assembles a development team responsible for specified project tasks to collaborate with your in-house development team or other vendors. We provide skilled project managers to oversee our part of work and coordinate project activity via diverse communication tools (like Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Teams).

Best for: Multi-team projects where you need to control an overall project progress.

You entrust end-to-end software development project to ScienceSoft. This way, you can save up to 30% in development costs as you don’t hire, onboard, and train full-time tech staff.

Best for: Businesses with overloaded/absent tech teams that want to minimize involvement in project management.

ScienceSoft ensures the stability of your IT infrastructure through routine monitoring and manages IT operations (help desk, security) of your company.

Best for: Businesses with no in-house IT team who need a vendor to guarantee stable work of their IT environment.

Benefits Making IT Staff Augmentation a Dream Cooperation Model

Over the last years, a share of team augmentation services has grown from 4.3% to 6.3% in global IT services sales. The growth is not lightning-fast, but it’s evident that businesses take more interest in augmenting rather than growing their in-house IT teams. Let’s overview the benefits they see in software development staff augmentation.

Hourly payment and no more expenses

You and a vendor agree on an hourly rate of IT experts you want to hire, and you pay only for the actual amount of work performed. No social benefits, paid time off, corporate activities or trainings, and other extra expenses.

On-demand IT expertise

Your IT needs will surely vary, and you can’t have enough team members to meet them all. By employing a staff augmentation model, you can temporarily hire people with the exact expertise you need right now.

Quick cooperation start

The pressure is off when you don’t look for a full-time employee and commit to long-term cooperation. The hiring process is typically fast – at ScienceSoft, we need 2-4 days to organize interviews with candidates and 1-2 weeks to start.

Unbiased fresh perspective on your IT arrangement

An experienced specialist coming from the outside of your company can spot inefficiencies in your IT processes or offer improvements to your software.
