The difference between Staff Augmentation & Dedicated Teams
IT Staff Augmentation
IT Staff augmentation provides hourly and/or part-time software engineers to support your in-house team’s software development outsourcing cycle as needed. This avoids lengthy sourcing and recruiting processes and facilitates hiring highly-demanded roles that may be needed on a limited basis.
Dedicated Teams
An expert autonomous team, typically composed of a PM, SW engineers, QA engineers and other roles, capable of rapidly and efficiently delivering end-to-end technology solutions and value.
Management is conducted jointly by a BairesDev Scrum Master, Engineering Manager and the Client’s Product Owner. Everyone interacts as often as needed in order to ensure optimal results at delivery time.

Common Misconceptions Regarding
IT Staff Augmentation
Although staff augmentation is nothing new, there are a few misconceptions that have become quite common among business leaders.
"The Main Purpose of IT Staffing is to Reduce Costs"
While IT staffing services became popular a few decades ago because of its cost-saving capabilities, this is certainly not the feature you want to focus on. When it comes to software development, talent is the most important resource to have. Staff Augmentation gives you access to the best engineers in the region.
"IT Staffing Increases Costs"
Could augmented staff actually cost more than finding, hiring, and retaining in-house employees? In 99% of the cases, no. Augmented teams don’t just live in countries where the cost of life (and therefore, their salaries) are lower—they also don’t imply added labor costs like health insurance, ongoing training, 401Ks, office supplies, etc.Â
"Staff Augmentation is the same as Software Outsourcing"
While most software development companies that provide staffing services also outsource development, these two are completely different solutions. To put it simply, IT Staffing adds the talent directly to your in-house team. On the contrary, Software Outsourcing transfers all the workload to your vendor partner.Â
