Is staff augmentation the right approach for your software development project?

Four Questions to Help You Decide

  1. Do you have the skills to convert a few individuals into a productive team that will create and protect your software assets?
  2. Are you prepared to pay for resources even when they’re stalled and waiting for direction?
  3. Are you prepared for the risks associated with key person dependencies?
  4. Do you have the expertise in-house to help resources overcome complex technical hurdles?

If you said NO to any of these questions, staff augmentation is not for you.


Need an alternative?

Mid market companies rarely have the personnel and processes in-house required to generate value from staff augmentation teams. It’s also extremely rare for them to have the standard operating procedures and skilled employees necessary to properly support and maintain what’s delivered. If this sounds like you, then you’re in the right place.

Red Hawk’s award winning business model was designed for the mid market.

We provide software engineering services through fractional teams with years of experience working together. Bundling services and distributing cost evenly over the term of the contract provides the financial and operational stability you need to invest in game-changing technology and to continue to operate custom software you’ve invested in.
