With the relentless push to go digital, companies are bound to encounter significant tech challenges.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to face them alone.
IT staff augmentation has become a go-to strategy for teams that need flexibility and immediate expertise.
With the right talent at the right time, here’s how it has worked for our clients:
Common Tech Challenges By Industry
Tech Challenge #1: Struggling to grow teams quickly for a time-sensitive media product
Streaming platforms are renowned for reinventing the entertainment and media industry.
But, with all those personalized recommendations and seamless watching experience, a significant amount of technical expertise and resources go into it.
And one of our media clients hit a wall while scaling their streaming platform.
With new features queued up and a content-hungry user base, they needed more hands on deck, fast.
How IT staff augmentation helped:
So, we stepped in by augmenting their team with experienced iOS and Android developers, as well as QA engineers, to ensure the platform was at its best level.
The extra help gave them the boost they needed to meet launch deadlines without compromising quality.
Impressed by the momentum, the client later brought us in to support their UI/UX design needs, enhancing not just one app, but their entire suite of on-demand products.
Tech Challenge #2: Limited internal design & development capacity for an internal agricultural operations platform
Modern agriculture isn’t just about tractors and soil anymore.
It’s sensors, data dashboards, and intelligent automation.
From crop planning to harvest tracking, digital tools are transforming how agricultural businesses operate.
But when one of our clients in the agri sector set out to modernize their internal business processes, they quickly hit a common roadblock: a lack of internal design and development expertise to get things moving.
How IT staff augmentation helped:
That’s where we came in.
We helped kickstart the initiative by designing and building a custom digital product to streamline their internal operations.
Upon the successful implementation, we took it a step further by augmenting our frontend and backend developers, plus QA engineers, to continuously optimize the product and build new features.
The impact:
- Greater transparency across operations
- Improved communication between different stakeholders
- A boost in accuracy and efficiency for their day-to-day processes
Tech Challenge #3: Insufficient backend and QA specialization for a complex fintech platform
Fintech platforms carry significant weight due to their data-intensive and security-vulnerable nature.
Every issue is a risk, and every delay could mean a missed opportunity.
For one of our fintech clients, the challenge was clear: they had ambitious plans to scale, but their internal team was struggling to keep up with backend demands and rigorous testing needs.
How IT staff augmentation helped:
We augmented their existing team with backend developers who understood the intricacies of secure, scalable architecture, along with QA engineers skilled in stress-testing high-stakes financial applications.
These experts were seamlessly integrated into the client’s existing team and helped them maintain platform performance.
Tech Challenge #4: Absence of internal post-launch team for a logistics product
Getting products off the ground is a huge milestone, but what comes after (maintenance, iteration, long-term support) is just as critical.
It’s the final stage in the product life cycle, yet it determines the effectiveness of the preceding efforts.
Was all the time and money spent worth it?
And this was the reality for our logistics client.
How IT staff augmentation helped:
After the initial vendor’s project handover, they found it challenging to maintain and grow their platform due to the lack of an internal development team.
And we supported them by augmenting a dedicated team of developers to take the reins post-launch.
What started as a resource gap has now evolved into a long-term partnership that has helped the product remain reliable and relevant for whatever comes next.
