FAQs about Pentalog IT Outsourcing Services

What are IT outsourcing services?

IT outsourcing services provide the talent you need to design and develop the best digital products. As an IT outsourcing company, Pentalog’s agile services platform delivers the best life cycle support to stretch budgets and seize opportunities for every kind of business, at the speed you require. Outsourcing can add capacity as an extension to your existing team or assist with innovation or growth initiatives with a Managed Team.

By customizing our services at every level of expertise, you will always have the support you need. We can assist as early as the product design phase, help you access specific expertise across all kinds of technology stacks (Java, PHP, .NET etc) and extend your product development capabilities. We also have the talent to consult on technology aspects such as security, DevOps, and agile coaching. And we can even provide services up to CTO level to oversee and successfully move your projects forward.

What kind of services can be outsourced?

There are four ways you can efficiently and effectively outsource your IT development needs:

• Extended Teams – Extended team solutions accelerate software delivery by adding top engineering and digital talent to scale your team. This resource can be used to accelerate your organization’s backlog delivery. Adding missing skills through offshore or nearshore IT outsourcing to support your in-house team is a cost-effective, on-demand solution. It’s also the best way to scale your existing software engineering team for surges in production, whether you need support to deploy core product features or handle maintenance tasks.
• Managed Teams – Software Development with Pentalog Managed Teams helps clients design, develop and scale custom software solutions that solve complex digital challenges and drive your business success. The structure of a team can be customized to your exact requirements and the flexibility of our managed service allows you to update your contract as and when you need to. Choose from product design, software engineering, DevOps or security capabilities to build an Agile team in a location that matches your expectations in terms of cultural proximity, time zone, and costs.
• Digital Consulting – If you’re looking to accelerate your organization’s digital transformation, Digital Consulting Services provide analytics-driven, outcomes-focused support for product innovation, launch and scaling. Pentalog’s consultants can provide deep know-how in agility, cloud, solution design, security, and digital strategy, among other areas, to automate, reduce risk and increase resilience.
• Tech Freelancers – Whether you need a full-stack developer or UX/UI designer, or something more specific, Pentalog can provide Top 5% freelancers with exactly the skills you’re looking for. Our database includes 40,000 active freelancers covering nearly all popular programming languages, and our industry-leading vetting will match you with top profiles in as little as 48 hours.

What is the most commonly outsourced IT service?

While staff augmentation utilizing an Extended Team service is the most commonly used outsourced IT service, we recommend a Managed Team to fully benefit from our expertise. If your organization doesn’t have the long-term need, time, or resources to hire full-time technical experts, staff augmentation utilizing Top 3% global talent can help with a specific project or to offset the in-house team’s workload during a busy period. As our client, you keep full control over the project and because all Pentalog experts speak English, your organization has the ability to scale and meet changing IT requirements quickly and cost-effectively.
