Collaborate
Experienced engineers and testers working inside your team.
The expertise you need, for as long as you need it
A programme needs different skills at different points, and hiring permanently against each one rarely works out. We put experienced people inside your team instead: in your tools, your codebase and your process, working to your priorities.
Embedded Specialists
People joining a team you already have, for a defined period. They work in your repositories, attend your stand-ups and are managed by you. This suits a team that is working well but is short of expertise or short on hands.
A Delivery Team
Where you need a whole team rather than extra hands, we provide one that operates as a unit inside your organisation, aligned to your goals and accountable for agreed outcomes. Better suited to a new product or a modernisation programme than to day-to-day work.
Scaling Up and Down
What a programme needs in month one is rarely what it needs in month eight. We review the arrangement regularly and change it when the work changes, without the cost and delay of permanent recruitment.
One recent integration went from kick-off to a live service in under four weeks, with our engineers inside the client's team. Read the integration case study.
How we work
What we hold ourselves to
Team augmentation goes wrong in predictable ways. These are the three we work hardest to avoid.
- People you have met
- We maintain a small team, so we place people we have already worked with. It means nobody arrives who has never built or run a system like yours.
- Your way of working
- We fit the model to your situation, whether that is a pair of specialists in an existing team or a separate delivery team. The engagement is shaped around your process, not a template of ours.
- Genuine integration
- Augmentation only works if the people are properly in the team: same tools, same standards, same conversations. Anyone we place is accountable to your leads day to day, and to us for doing the job well.
