Frequently Asked Questions

It may be worth exploring if projects are being delayed because of capacity, your team needs additional expertise, or you want greater flexibility around your technology resources. The first step is understanding the gap between the capability you currently have and what the business needs. You can book a call here and talk to our team about your IT requirements.

The skills required will depend on your technology, projects and existing team. IT outsourcing can give businesses access to additional technical capability without needing every specialist skill permanently within the local team.

No. SMEs can also use IT outsourcing to access additional skills and capacity without needing to build a large internal technology function. The level of support can be shaped around the requirements of the business.

Outsourcing does not have to mean handing over control of your IT. With an Extended Team model, your business continues to set priorities and oversee the work while additional technical professionals provide support around your existing operation. Our blog goes into more detail.

Yes. An Extended Team is designed to provide ongoing support rather than necessarily being limited to a single piece of work. The appropriate arrangement will depend on your business and technology requirements.

Additional technical capacity can help reduce bottlenecks when existing teams are balancing day-to-day requirements with new projects. An Extended IT Team can provide extra support around agreed priorities, helping your internal people focus their time more effectively.

Yes. An Extended IT Team can complement your existing team rather than replace it. Additional professionals can support agreed areas of work while your internal team retains oversight of priorities and the wider technology strategy.
