Dedicated Software

Development Team

A dedicated team is an outsourced team of IT professionals who work exclusively on the client’s project. They might be integrated into the existing internal team or be the only development team the client has. The major difference between outsourcing in general and hiring a dedicated team is that with the latter, you’ll have engineers fully committed to your project, company, and processes.

You’ll need to find a reliable software development provider that will build a dedicated team tailored to your needs. You can search for providers on B2B platforms like Clutch or simply google dedicated team services. When choosing a provider to work with, discover the portfolio of successful cases, see if there are projects similar to yours, and check if developers are located in the location and time zone that works for you.

When you hire a dedicated development team provider, they will help you understand what technologies will be best suitable for your project and what skills are essential in developers and other IT specialists. If you have internal engineers or have developer expertise yourself, you’re welcome to interview chosen candidates to check their technical skills. But in most cases, you’ll only need to check the soft skills to see if they fit your culture.

Practically any custom development project can benefit from a dedicated team model. It’s especially helpful if you need to quickly launch a new product, or you’re looking for a particular technical expertise that is not available internally.

When you hire a dedicated team for development, you’re usually paying contractor costs on an hourly rate basis. During an introductory call, we can provide you with a rough estimate of the duration and cost of your project. Note that with a dedicated team model, you don’t have any costs associated with onboarding specialists and providing them with corporate benefits—outsourcing providers take care of these expenses.

• Having a dedicated team build your product is beneficial in many ways:
• It’s a cost-effective way of custom development (it can be much cheaper than hiring internally, and you’re not paying for any administrative processes)
• It’s a way of gaining additional expertise or finding professionals experienced in niche technologies
• It’s a flexible way of cooperation, as a dedicated team can be scaled up and down according to your needs

You will have full control over the development process and will be able to impact it. In direct communication with developers in your preferred channels, you’ll be reviewing the progress, adding suggestions, asking for improvements, etc.

Typically, you’ll sign a Service-Level Agreement with a software development provider to specify the scope of services, intellectual property rights, performance metrics to evaluate the results, dispute resolution rules, and other details related to the responsibilities of both parties. You can also require a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by everyone you hire. Any other documentation will depend on your particular partnership, as well as existing legislation in your area and industry.
