The Problem
Hiring full-time developers for every spike in demand is not cost-effective, nor does it align with long-term business needs. Additionally, these spikes are unpredictable, and resources are needed quickly to maintain project timelines and avoid revenue loss. This requires a flexible, scalable, and efficient way to meet these temporary development needs while ensuring high-quality code and timely delivery.
Key Stakeholders
- Product Management: Defines feature requirements and deadlines for both long-term and temporary projects.
- Engineering/Development Team: Manages core product development and must integrate short-term work into long-term roadmaps.
- Operations: Needs to scale resources and ensure project deadlines are met.
- Clients: Expect rapid delivery of custom features or modifications.
The Solution
Implement a elastic resource strategy to address repeated temporary needs for software development.
- Ottia’s scalable development service: A global reach ensures that a wide range of of development skills are available at senior level. Contracts are flexible and offer solutions for smaller and larger teams wanting to efficiently scale their development.
- Internal Project Pipeline Management: Utilizing agile project management techniques to efficiently assign resources, ensuring core team members can focus on long-term product development while temporary resources handle short-term needs.
Business Benefits
- Scalability: Rapidly increase or decrease the number of development hours (elasticity) according to project demands, reducing overhead and avoiding delays in core projects.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Rather than maintaining a large full-time team, the company can allocate budget toward Ottia only when needed, improving financial efficiency.
- Speed to Market: Leveraging Ottia allows for quicker completion of client requests, pilot programs, or urgent regulatory updates, maintaining client satisfaction and competitive positioning.
- Access to Specialized Skills: Ottia can bring in developers with niche technical expertise for specific tasks (e.g., machine learning, blockchain, etc.) without needing to train internal teams.
- Risk Mitigation: By employing Ottia for temporary development needs, the company can reduce the risk of project delays, ensuring that it meets client and regulatory deadlines.
