Engineers
Why should I outsource some of my engineering projects?
There are many financial and technical benefits to outsourcing. The financial benefits come from paying only for services performed when they are needed. It can be considered a just-in-time resource that is utilized only when it is needed most. The year-round, long-term costs associated with direct employees such as salary, benefits, hardware and software costs, and administrative overhead may be reduced through the use of consultants. Another financial benefit is getting your product to market faster by using consultants when internal staffing is committed elsewhere.
There are technical benefits from using a consulting company. A good consulting company will be focused on staffing the best people, and keeping them highly trained and certified in the right skills needed by the customer. Typically, consultants will bring knowledge of other industries and technologies that the customer may not have internally.
