Resource Management

The IT sector faces a major hurdle in obtaining skilled resources at a reasonable cost, especially when the resource is required for a short period or intermittently. The available options, such as:

  • Offshoring
  • Hiring permanent employees
  • Engaging IT contractors, or consulting companies, each have their own drawbacks.
  • Offshoring requires significant effort in selecting a suitable partner and negotiating contracts, while still incurring costs during project downtimes.
  • Hiring permanent employees necessitates finding additional work for them when their skill set is not required, leading to continuous expenses for the organization.
  • IT contractors are expensive and may not be available when needed, forcing the choice between releasing them between projects or incurring costs to retain them and their knowledge.
  • Consulting companies also come at a high cost and are incentivized to sell as many consulting days as possible, with little control over the resources deployed and a risk of deploying junior-level resources.

Each of these options presents its own set of challenges.

  • For offshoring, considerable effort is required to identify a suitable partner, negotiate contracts, and often businesses will still be charged during periods of project downtime.
  • Hiring permanent employees requires finding additional work for them when their specific skill set is not needed, resulting in a continuous cost to the organization.
  • IT contractors can be costly and may not be available when needed if they are released between projects. If businesses choose to retain them and their knowledge between projects, they will incur additional costs.
  • Consulting companies can also be expensive, as they are motivated to sell as many consulting days as possible. Additionally, businesses may not be able to select the resource that is deployed and may find the assigned resources to be less experienced than desired.
