Outsourcing a dedicated team entails working with a specialized software company and entrusting the project to its group of programmers along with all the related accesses. In most cases, the collaboration encompasses various software-related services besides team augmentation, such as analysis and design, data analytics, UI/UX design, quality assurance, project management, or support and maintenance.
Additionally, because the contracting team is more deeply involved, the client’s expectations are normally higher, just as the dedicated team’s access to the product.
Staff augmentation, on the contrary, is more transparent in terms of the final bill. Choosing this engagement model means you will only pay for the actual hours the specialist spent working on your project, not their average monthly rate. Besides, as augmented professionals do not normally come in teams, keeping connections with each of them should be easier and won’t require a project manager.
