IT outsourcing

• You save time. You don't have to find a new specialist, which can be a challenge for a project with a short deadline. You can get professional developers in a few days without spending time on recruitment.
• No delays. You also don't have to worry about situations that inevitably occur with in-house staff, such as holidays or illness. 
• You use the right specialist for your IT projects. Are you thinking about software development, or perhaps you have an urgent need for a mobile app solution? Do you need a project manager but also need the help of a UX designer? You hire the right person for the job, for the time you need.
• You pay for what you need. Whether you need developers for the short term or the long term, you can count on predictable costs. Since you only use the service for temporary needs, it's a more cost-effective solution than developing in-house.
• Greater focus on core activities. Outsourcing allows your company to focus solely on its core business.

• What exactly is IT outsourcing?
  IT outsourcing is the process in which a company outsources IT technology-related tasks to an external service provider, rather than using internal staff for these activities. The outsourcing method varies: it can be local (onshore), regional (nearshore) or remote (offshore).
• How can a company benefit from staff augmentation?
  By IT outsourcing, companies can make significant cost savings by avoiding the cost of salaries and the expense of maintaining an internal IT infrastructure. They can gain access to high-quality expertise and innovative solutions that would take time and investment to develop. IT outsourcing allows a company to focus on its core business activities and optimise its resources. Scalability and flexibility are also among the advantages, as it can adapt more quickly to changes in business needs.
• What are the reasons a company may decide to use IT outsourcing?
  IT outsourcing can be a good choice when the company's internal IT team is no longer able to keep up with technological developments and business needs, when it does not have the right experts for the required technology solutions, or when IT activities are not part of the company's core business. Scalability is also an important consideration: if the company is growing dynamically or has changing IT needs, outsourcing can provide flexibility. In addition, outsourcing can also help a company reduce the risks associated with business and technology innovation.
• What areas can be outsourced within IT?
  IT outsourcing can involve outsourcing several areas such as software development (web development, mobile application development), cloud services, IT support and customer service functions.
  In the context of outsourcing, it is up to the client to decide whether LogiNet will provide a specialist to cover their missing competencies (under IT contracting) or a dedicated development team. But we can also provide end-to-end software development under this arrangement, i.e. we provide for the entire IT project process, from ideation to implementation and ongoing maintenance.
• Is staff augmentation really cheaper than having an in-house IT professional do the work?
  This depends on a number of factors: outsourcing can bring significant cost savings, because while hiring an in-house team of IT professionals means you have to plan for salaries and benefits throughout the year, outsourcing only involves paying fees for the project. There is no need to invest in training and development of internal staff, nor in maintaining infrastructure and technology tools, as these are provided by the partner. Scalability is made easier, as companies can increase or decrease the level of services used as required.
• How is the process of IT outsourcing?
  Once an agreement is reached between the software development company and the client, the handover phase is the start of the collaboration. This involves the parties drawing up a detailed plan for the transfer of information, tools and user rights. Ongoing communication is important throughout the project, as it is a key element in the success of the collaboration.
• What is the role of the client and the development partner in the project?
  A clear and well-defined division of labour is essential for the success of the project. This will avoid overlapping tasks and ensure transparency. Ongoing communication and cooperation between the parties are crucial to the success of the project.
  The development company is responsible for software development, testing and implementation, operation and maintenance, and project management. 
  The client develops the necessary policies for the outsourcing project and manages the organisational changes required by IT outsourcing. Regularly liaises with the developer throughout the project, monitoring and testing solutions.
• What depends on how many people are needed for IT outsourcing?
  The number of professionals required depends on several factors, such as the requirements of the project, the deadline and the budget. Based on the experience of the outsourcing partner, it is possible to anticipate the resources required for projects of similar size and type. As the project progresses, staffing levels are typically reviewed and adjusted as necessary in response to project developments.
• How soon can a project be started under IT outsourcing, i.e. how quickly can the specialists start work?
  The timing of the start of an IT outsourcing project varies and depends on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the availability of the necessary resources and the length of contract negotiations. With IT resource hiring, a simple project can be up and running within a week, but a more complex project can take no longer than 3 weeks.
• Do the "loaned" professionals work remotely or are they present in the office as part of the staff?
  The location depends on the project and the client's preferences. The flexibility of the outsourcing model allows for both remote and on-site working. Remote working is becoming an increasingly popular choice with the development of new technologies and communication tools, reducing costs and increasing flexibility. Conversely, there are some projects where it is preferable to have professionals involved in person.
• How do I know that IT outsourcing will not compromise data security?
  Data security in IT outsourcing is guaranteed by strict contractual agreements and data protection solutions. Non-disclosure agreements are key to maintaining information security.
