Within the last two years, more and more companies have opted for a better management of their internal resources. This is done by adding outsourcing to their operations. By opting for this strategy, they benefit from knowledge, expertise and skills that are either not available in-house or in local candidates.<\/p>\n
Not all companies have the capacity to build in-house teams or the budget to hire additional resources, either in the short or long term. This is where outsourcing comes in. While outsourcing has countless benefits, it requires careful preparation and consideration in every aspect.<\/p>\n
In its article \u201cTop Three Mistakes Clients Make When Hiring A Dedicated Software Development Team<\/a>\u201d, Forbes identifies the three most common mistakes companies make when hiring outsourced, dedicated software development teams. But at ProContact, we’ve found that this pattern is perfectly applicable to any outsourcing project. Here’s how to make your project successful.<\/p>\n Outsourcing certain services and tasks allows companies to quickly and easily recruit trained and skilled people to handle specific needs. This solution is sufficiently well-stocked to allow said companies to choose the positions to be delegated, while adapting the number of resources to their real needs. An added benefit is that this comes at controlled costs, often more interesting than traditional recruitment.<\/p>\n No company is spared from budget constraints. Compared to traditional recruitment, outsourcing allows you to rationalize your expenses in several ways:<\/p>\n It’s a given that recruiting outsourced resources is a quick and easy task to implement. But to achieve this result, organization, transparency, communication and caution are required. There are three main mistakes that can quickly muddy the waters and derail the outsourcing project.

As a client, the company needs to know its own objectives to be able to develop a powerful strategy and communicate it to its outsourcing provider. Therefore, it must first define its problem(s) in a concrete way, by analyzing each aspect.<\/p>\n The idea is not to work with the first provider that comes along, but to deal with several in order to narrow down the selection. Make a very thorough comparison, not to find yet another supplier, but to find a real partner who will support the company.<\/p>\n The right questions to ask yourself at this stage of the process are:<\/p>\n Answer these questions in the form of an outline or even a summary to begin refining the project’s details. The goal of this exercise is to effectively pull your ideas together, thus avoiding confusion, miscommunication or misinterpretation.<\/p>\n Today, it is a must to compare everything! This is a very good thing, since this exercise allows you to verify and judge the credibility of a company. Larger investments, such as outsourcing one or more services, warrant such in-depth research. Learn how to evaluate your outsourcing provider!<\/p>\n Her are Forbes’ advice regarding the provider:<\/p>\n As with any type of partnership, a business relationship also requires effective communication.
