The Value of IT Staff Augmentation
Why hire our professionals to complement your existing IT staff?
Our IT staff augmentation options are popular because companies too often feel they’re under pressure in the realm of cybersecurity and IT operations.
Here are some of the major parts of what IT staff augmentation adds to the equation.
Point People
In the world of IT many pros are familiar with the need for designated people to handle various standards, network components or hardware setups.
In some cases, these point people are going to be the standard-bearers for eliminating company liability and ensuring compliance with some standard or another. In other cases, they’re going to be operational point people who are available to communicate about the real-time operation of networks or other systems, such as server specialist teams who have a particular domain.
For example, without going into too much detail, standards like those provided by NIST sometimes talk about having a professional designated for some specific purpose. These are some of the kinds of roles that can be filled through IT staff augmentation.
Virtualization and New Systems
Today’s hardware setups are highly complicated by processes like virtualization, colocation and data center services.
Companies that are still operating as if they’re in the old days are woefully unprepared for the new models like container virtualization and cloud gateway services. In the old days, on-site hardware capability was the leading factor. New systems require a lot more knowledge about distributed computing and much more. Suppose the company wants to move legacy systems to a new container system with Kubernetes or Docker or some other fundamental non-bare-metal arrangement. Does the company have the staff and the know-how, the operational firepower to achieve this? That question always has to be asked and it’s a part of what drives companies to utilize IT staff augmentation as a core strategy for success.
You may have heard it said that the company is only as effective as its network. That’s another situation where having IT staff augmentation helps you to gear up for challenges and tackle obstacles the right way. Having the staff to manage a network is the basis for nearly everything else that a company does: because data is the firm’s most important asset, and the network is the operational framework for everything that happens digitally, it’s hard to overstress this part of what professionals do in your IT department.
