Scalable Delivery Model
Augment your team with experienced Microsoft consultants, exactly when you need them. Scale capacity for large projects, scale down when done. Cost-effective, integrated delivery with UK oversight.
The Challenge
- ✗ Hiring takes months. You need people now, not in 3-6 months after recruitment.
- ✗ Permanent headcount is expensive. Salary, benefits, recruitment costs, severance when the project ends.
- ✗ Contractors lack continuity. One-off contractors don't integrate with your team or understand long-term context.
- ✗ Offshore is risky. Communication gaps, timezone challenges, quality concerns, knowledge loss when resources leave.

Real Example: A professional services firm needed to accelerate a Dynamics 365 implementation. Their internal team was fully allocated. We deployed a 6-person offshore team (3 developers, 2 analysts, 1 QA) with a UK-based project manager. The team integrated into daily standups, worked in sprint cycles, and delivered on schedule. Post-project, the firm kept one resource for ongoing enhancements. Total cost: 40% less than hiring permanent staff, 6x faster than recruitment.

Common Questions
How do timezone differences work?
India is 5.5 hours ahead of the UK. Your early evening standup is their morning—creating continuous progress. Async communication through Teams, documented decisions, and clear handoffs ensure no bottlenecks.
What if we need to scale the team up or down?
Teams scale flexibly. Start with 1-2 resources, add more mid-project if needed, or reduce scope as phases complete. No long-term commitments; you pay for what you use.
Do we have direct contact with offshore resources?
Yes. They're part of your Teams, attend standups, and you communicate directly on technical matters. The UK project manager handles administrative coordination and quality oversight.
What about knowledge transfer and documentation?
Knowledge transfer is built into the engagement. As resources work on your project, they document decisions, train your team, and ensure you're not dependent on them long-term.
How do you ensure quality if the team is offshore?
UK-based code reviews, architecture reviews, and quality gates are built-in. All work is reviewed before it goes into your codebase. We don't sacrifice quality for cost.
Can we keep resources after the project ends?
Absolutely. Many clients keep 1-2 resources for ongoing support, enhancements, and continuous improvement. You can move from project-based to ongoing staffing seamlessly.
