Scaling Your SaaS or Platform Faster: How Augmented Teams Accelerate Product Roadmaps
Imagine having a small team that is trying to build a big software product. You have lots of features to add, but few hands to get it done fast. This is a common problem among SaaS startup founders and CTOs. The good news is, there is a way to solve it. It is called a SaaS staff augmentation strategy. That is a fancy term for bringing in extra expert developers to help your team. In simple words, you get outside talent to join your project so you can move faster.

How to Choose a Digital Product Development Partner (Without Slowing Down Your Team)
The choice of a partner in the development of your digital product is among the most critical decisions that you'll ever make regarding your product. It will either make or break your project's success. A good partner does not feel like an outsider but works as an extension of your team and helps to move your product faster with fewer mistakes. On the other hand, the wrong partner may weigh your team down and push your timelines back, which in turn causes frustration and delay. And of course, a real partner-not just some other vendor-is on the same team as you, keeping your project at full speed rather than holding it back. For instance, a digital product development partner will work closely with you, act as part of your own in-house team, instead of being an obstacle.

Bridging the Gap in Tech Talent: How IT Staff Augmentation Accelerates Software Projects Across the US & Europe
Many companies in Europe and the United States face the problem of needing more technology workers than they are able to find. This shortage of skilled software developers and IT is sometimes referred to as the "tech talent gap."

It simply denotes that there is a gap between demand-the requirement for tech talent-and supply-people available with appropriate skills. Closing this gap is paramount to ensuring businesses can execute projects on schedule as well as further innovation. One very effective solution that businesses are implementing includes IT staff augmentation. This is how it works: IT staff augmentation will help companies fill talent gaps fast by adding more skilled people to their teams on a temporary basis so projects can keep moving full speed ahead.
