Outsourcing & Outstaffing

Both of these terms are quite well-known in IT industry. Well, not only in IT industry, but in all other industries. But what is the difference? Let’s figure it out.

To put it short, outsourcing transfer a whole business process to a third party, outstaffing ensures hiring dedicated professional or professionals to work on the project controlled fully by the business owner.

Outsourcing

As being said, outsourcing is basically transferring the whole project to a third party company. The project in this context is some activities or functions. While today’s businesses are actively growing and expanding, transfer of some of the functions become a necessity. It’s not only about cut of the costs, “save money” mentality is not the main trigger. It’s more about freeing resources in order to develop new ways of business expanding.

So, with outsourcing the business owner is able to

• Save on resources — procurement, HR, engineers;
• Save on taxes;
• Save on equipment;
• Save on management activities

Outstaffing

Outstaffing is much less talked about, yet has got its place in the IT industry. How does it work? Well, basically it is kind of body shopping: the business owner buys the time of exact person or persons. Usually it’s the guys from development team: software developers or quality assurance engineers. Also, person who is “outstaffed” usually works on a remote basis. Sometimes, however, the business owner, also known as Client, may prefer relocation of the one person or sometimes even the whole team.

While outsourcing is the complex support of the whole project, outstaffing is basically a “hiring the right person” — the rest is a matter of contract and its details.
