Augmented Team Partner

We believe a fixed price model is effective in case both the client and the vendor company have a clear, detailed understanding of what needs to be done within the project and how exactly the project is going to be delivered.

This level of understanding can be achieved by increasing funding for the analytical phase of the project and allocating sufficient time for its implementation.

Some of the most important points to consider before you outsource your project can be found in our article Outsource IT: Basics of Software Development Outsourcing in the NEKLO blog.

The peculiarity of the time & material model is in the absence of a precisely defined project cost. The client pays for the amount of work performed by the outsourcing dedicated development team, according to the time spent on the project and the hourly rate of each Magento 2 developer or software development specialist in your dedicated team.

Thus, both parties can stay flexible when it comes to changing requirements, conditions, and priorities within the frameworks of the project.

Once you decide to hire a dedicated developer, follow the three steps below to ensure a clear onboarding process:

• Explain your business peculiarities to your dedicated project team. It will become much easier for the dedicated team to implement your project if they have the same vision as you do and a clear understanding of: your business strategy with its strong and weak points, and the position of your business and your competitors on the market.
• Talk to your in-house team and try to engage it in collaboration. To prevent misunderstandings, explain to your in-house team why it is necessary to rent a developer, or hire a Magento programmer, as well as share the perks of doing so that your business employees can see the benefits the dedicated development team is able to bring.
• Make sure to share all the necessary documentation and files. When you hire a Magento developer or other software development specialist, make sure to provide them with all the documentation and files necessary for the project and its implementation. Make sure the dedicated team you hire has access to your specific technical documents and required code repositories.

To track the progress of your dedicated Magento programmer or other specialists that you hire at NEKLO, we offer to use Jira software.

Additionally, we are also available on popular messengers and can actually hop on any business communication platform suitable for you to stay in touch with us.

Normally, the cheapest option to hire a development team will be in Asian countries.

However, if you want to hire dedicated developers or hire Magento developers to get a quality outcome, enrich your team with skills, talent, and experience, you want to go for dedicated developers working at companies based in Eastern Europe.

Sure! At NEKLO, we use Agile, Scrum, DevOps, and Kanban.

NEKLO can gather a team for dedicated software development within the frameworks of all the key services we provide, including:

• Custom software development;
• Web application development;
• Mobile application development;
• DevOps;
• Custom Magento development;
• Magento migration & upgrade;
• Magento support & maintenance.

Hire a dedicated development team if you need:

• Implementation of a long-term project.

  Short-term development does not get outsourced as a rule. Usually, it’s implemented using a fixed price model. Long-term projects, like the implementation of SAP or other ERP systems, for example, are best outsourced to a specialized software company.

  An external dedicated development team provider will help fill in the missing gaps in experience and build your solution faster. Services of a dedicated project team are usually cheaper than expenses on in-house team specialists.

  To help you make an informed decision on whether to buy or to build a software solution for your business, we offer you to read our article on Pros & Cons of Custom Software Development from scratch vs ready-made software.

• Implementation of any non-core functionality.

  Delegating the main functionality and feature creation are not what our Augmented Team Partner services are about.

  We suggest you opt for full-cycle software development in case you want to outsource the creation of the core of your solution. While any auxiliary operations or an additional boost to your project will be ideal for attracting NEKLO specialists as a dedicated team and as part of your hire software developers strategy.

• Implementation of either one part or an entire project

  If you plan to outsource software development, you need not just one developer for hire, but also a project manager, a business analyst, and a software testing specialist.

  To ensure adequate and effective cooperation, these roles must be implemented either on your side as a client or our side as an outsourcing company.

  We believe these are the best ways to cooperate.

By hiring a dedicated development team, you get a long-term partner as a rule.

The partnership may imply the implementation of not just one, but a set of projects. As an alternative, you could make a complete transfer of the whole software development process to your outsourcing dedicated development team, or just the maintenance part.

The dedicated team model is transparent in terms of costs. You as a client make monthly payments that consist of the salary of each hired specialist + the vendor’s fee.
