Some of the main advantages of having extended teams are outlined below:-
1. Transparency: An extended team functions with the same values and work ethic as your organization employee’s work. There is an absolute transparency in operations. You always have an idea as to which employee is working on which tasks. You even know when your employees are on leave and are working overtime on projects.
2. Control over IP: For any software development company Intellectual Property becomes an area of concern. When an outsourcing service provider is engaged in product development, there is a huge risk of losing control of IP. An extended team is hired specifically to work on your project. And information regarding your project stays within the limitations of the company.
3. No Bench: I guess the greatest advantage while using an extended team is that employees are hired after understanding the scope of work. Technical expertise, and experience is taken into account before on boarding any candidate. You are involved in the selection and interview process. While outsourcing a project, your project is undertaken ...
... by a team that is on a bench. The bench staff may lack technical know-how of your project.
4. Environment: For an employee to be productive a conducive work environment plays a significant role. An extended team that works remotely requires proper support in terms of IT, HR, Finance and Infrastructure. BuildMyTeam provides a controlled environment for extended teams that make them a valuable extension of your organization.
5. Direct Coordination: You always have direct day to day coordination with your extended teams. An outsourcing service provider often changes the people working on the project. The objective of the project as well as key deliverables gets diluted with the change of hands of resources. Eventually, the project suffers at the cost effective ways of the outsourcing service provider.
As the outsourcing industry has been depleting in the past decade, many companies have opted for extended teams that offer a more constructive zone of delivering projects. Resources are hired from locations where talent is easily available. Getting the best talent on the project from cost effective locations is what makes extended teams a viable option for companies that were earlier outsourcing part or a large chunk of their departments offshore.
