The business technology landscape has always been highly competitive. However, organisations today must keep up with the pace in the face of a dwindling talent pool, ever-rising customer expectations and industry-changing technologies. The demand for innovation is high, yet the supply of expertise is low.
The pressure is on, and business leaders are faced with the challenge of striking a balance between recruitment lead times and finding the right fit technology expertise to meet both customer and business expectations. In other words, they need to be agile when it comes to their talent strategy – able to meet both the technological needs of today while keeping a watchful eye on future advancements.
Rethinking resourcing
Adapting to market shifts is crucial and organisations may need to consider alternative solutions. In this case, that means looking beyond traditional recruitment models. That’s where team augmentation comes in.
At its core, team augmentation allows businesses to gain access to highly skilled professionals, enhancing the existing skills and capacity within their IT teams. Additionally, partnering with an external company with expertise and experience across other technology solutions, industries and business areas enables your team to stay one step ahead of technology trends, while simultaneously expanding understanding of the practical applications of new and existing technologies.
With improved talent optimisation, including already vetted and trained professionals, team augmentation can accelerate project success. Selecting technologists with a proven track record delivers business value through digital transformation, be it the rollout of a new system, analysis to help streamline existing processes, or a multi-resource team to rapidly grow in-house expertise and resources.
A way forward
Whatever the goal, there are talent solutions and providers aligned with your business objectives, culture and operational requirements. Through team augmentation, organisations can maximise value for their team and customers by leveraging expertise, driving innovation and supporting agility. In turn, they can unlock new skills and achieve success in a rapidly changing and highly competitive world.
