Key Forces Driving Outsourcing Trends

Lower Costs
It’s no secret that software development projects have a lofty price tag. While relying on your own team may appear to streamline the process, in-house operating expenses add up fast. What many companies fail to recognize is the myriad of hidden costs —- recruiting, employee salaries, benefits, time off, necessary infrastructure and resources — that work behind the scenes to chip away at your bottom line. One cost comparison found that an insourced scrum team costs $750 more per team, per hour.⁴
Greater Demand
The skyrocketing need for digital infrastructure in the last 3 years showcased the clear advantages of robust software solutions. Those who invested in development projects prior to 2020 excelled in the midst of global chaos and marketplace disruptions. Unsurprisingly, the demand for digital transformation is now greater than ever. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the demand for software developers to grow 22% by 2030.5 In order to become market competitive, companies must have the bandwidth to turn around development projects on a dime. Many do not have the internal resources to achieve this, and, as a result, an estimated 64% of IT executives are utilizing external expertise for their digital transformation initiatives.
Ability to Scale
Software development isn’t a one-size-fits all venture. While many companies may have the staffing, infrastructure, and expertise necessary to successfully complete smaller projects, many fall short of their benchmarks for larger projects. Additionally, unexpected variables put internal development teams at risk of exceeding critical timelines and budgets. Rather than taking on new employees or amplifying current employee burnout, companies can leverage outsourced labor to offload time-intensive tasks and complete projects on time without spreading internal resources too thin.
Expanded Skill Set
Outsourcing provides the unique opportunity to find highly-specialized experts with a wider range of skills and fresh perspectives on optimizing each project. This not only augments internal capabilities but also gives access to top talent at just a fraction of the cost.
