Hire Dedicated Resources

IT departments and development teams are frequently faced with unpredictable workloads. Because of this, at any given time, there might not be adequate in house staffing to complete new development projects, or to maintain or customize existing software. On the other hand, there may be times when the existing staff simply cannot be kept sufficiently busy, due to a shortage of projects. Still other situations have arisen in which an employer made a decision to hire dedicated PHP developers and then discovered that the solutions would require some additional programming languages expertise. He is faced with outsourcing some of his IT work or adding to existing staff. Clearly, the solution is not in hiring and firing employees every time there is a fluctuation in workload. Instead, it would be wise to consider using dedicated resources. These are non-staff members who have well developed skill sets and high levels of experience, and they can be utilized in both short and long term situations where extra staffing is needed.

When companies hire dedicated resources from SoftGroup, they can be assured of the following:

• Developers are matched to each project based on skill sets and business area familiarity and experience
• Short and long term projects are both treated with the same sense of importance and urgency
• SoftGroup has developers who possess modern skill sets such as PHP, .NET, Java, and C# along with the ability to work on legacy systems
• SoftGroup has reasonable billing rates

Another reason to hire dedicated workers from SoftGroup is the lack of overhead. In this economy, employee benefits can be a major expense. Sadly, this can mean a reduction in work force. This can also mean an inability to complete projects on time. This can result in a multitude of negative consequences that can include loss of future business, further reduction in staff, and the limited ability to hire developers in the future, as either dedicated resources or as permanent employees.

Almost every business is affected by regulatory measures, such as Sarbanes Oxley. In many cases, it means that projects must be completed even when financial resources are limited.
