Benefits of Team Augmentation for companies

Team Augmentation is a type of outsourcing strategy in which an external supplier is used on a contract basis to supplement the knowledge and skills of an existing internal team.

The advantages of leveraging team augmentation:

  • Flexibility and Scalability. Increasing your staff gives you the ability to increase or decrease the size of your team depending on the requirements of the project.
  • Access to a vast talent pool. Increasing the workforce allows organisations to access a huge pool of specialised skills and experience that may not be available to their existing workforce.
  • Cost-Effectiveness. By replenishing existing staff, you can temporarily attract external specialists, thereby reducing overhead costs.
  • Increased efficiency. By filling in the gaps in your team, team augmentation can help increase efficiency, speed up work, and make it much easier to resolve potential project problems.
  • Faster Time-to-Market. By leveraging external expertise, you can optimise processes, improve efficiency and overcome bottlenecks.
  • Mitigating Risks. Team augmentation reduces this risk by offering more flexibility and reducing the burden of long-term liabilities.
