As the business world's digital tool kit, software development projects can easily pave the way to a company's success if they are implemented correctly. On the flip side, if you trust the wrong people or prioritize the wrong feature, you may quickly find yourself at the bottom of your budget with barely any work complete.
Maybe you are developing a new user-friendly app for your company to help improve sales. Or perhaps you are implementing the hottest new machine learning instruments to streamline operations. Whatever your project, it is vital to find a balance between quality development and a cost-effective budget.
However, finding this balance can be easier said than done. That is why it is important to review your options when implementing the hottest tech for your projects.
At Tizbi, we value flexibility when it comes to every individual project. No one company has the same staff or goals. Therefore each client requires an approach that is specific to their needs.
When it is time to take action, your company can decide the strategy that best accommodates its short-term and long-term software development goals. Whether you hire your own developer team, substitute a position with a temporary developer or borrow an entire IT Team is ultimately up to you. Still, it is essential to weigh the pros and cons of every option before making a decision.

Putting Together Your Own Software Team
Dishonest or incompetent outsourced IT teams have already burned many people in the industry. Unfortunately, the high demand for programmers leads to an abuse of power. This abuse may come in exaggerated development budgets and stalled deployment of software, accompanied by the big headache associated with solving these issues.
Naturally, the solution to this would be to put together your own IT team to get you through your development needs. In taking this route, your company will gain control, a more transparent timeframe, and a stricter IT budget. These benefits are reasonable. However, they don't come without a cost.
Taking on your own IT teams also means a dramatic increase in responsibility for software projects, as well as new employees. Hiring your team means ensuring that your new employees have the proper amount of experience in the specific technologies needed to accomplish your goals. It can be costly and confusing to supply a fully armed and competent IT battalion. Further, you must keep your team occupied with a non-stop onset of development projects in order to get your money's worth.
This is not a bad route for people who are not afraid to invest large amounts into their software and prioritize expanding their technological tool belt because this route can get quite expensive.
Luckily, if you're not ready for this step, it is not your only option.
Dedicated Development Team
A dedicated Development team is a neutral compromise between growing your own IT team and completely outsourcing a group.
This approach is designed to augment your existing IT crew only in the amount needed for your company to complete a software project. Tizbi's dedicated development teams can be as big or small, as is your demand.
Whether you need one temporary programmer to sub in for an employee who is taking an extended leave of absence, or a few full-stack developers who can help fill the holes in your current in house IT team, we are ready to fulfill your needs. Our team of experts is dedicated and experienced in various programming technologies, including Front end, Microsoft, Linux, mobile, data, CRM, and more.
By taking on a dedicated development team, you have total control over how many people you take on and which area of expertise they should fill, and for how long. Then when you've had your fill, our team members return to us without any further expectations of work from you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest way to reduce my IT budget without sacrificing quality? It depends on how much control you need. Building your own in-house team gives you the most control but the highest overhead. A dedicated development team is usually the more budget-friendly middle ground, since you only pay for the exact roles and duration you need.
Should I hire my own IT team or outsource one? Hiring your own team makes sense if you're prepared to invest heavily and want to build long-term internal technology capability. Outsourcing, whether a dedicated development team or a full IT team, makes more sense if software isn't your core business and you'd rather avoid the cost and risk of staffing a department from scratch.
What's the difference between a dedicated development team and hiring a full IT team? A dedicated development team augments your existing staff with just the roles you're missing: one developer or a small group, for a defined period. A full IT team is a complete unit (developers, architects, DevOps, QA, project managers) for companies with no internal IT department at all who need end-to-end support.
How do I avoid getting overcharged by an outsourced developer or IT team? Watch for vague budgets, ballooning timelines, and stalled deployments. These are common signs of an IT team taking advantage of a client. Working with a vetted, trained team and a clear, capped scope of work is the best protection against this.
Can I scale a dedicated development team up or down as my project changes? Yes, that flexibility is the main advantage of this model over hiring in-house. You can bring on one developer to cover a leave of absence or several full-stack developers to fill gaps, and scale back down once the need is met, without further obligation.
Is it worth building an in-house IT team for a single software project? Usually not, unless you plan to keep that team continuously occupied with future projects to get full value from the investment. For a single project or a temporary need, a dedicated team or a fully outsourced IT team is typically the more cost-effective choice.
How do I know which option is right for my company's budget? Start by being honest about your timeline, in-house capacity, and whether this is a one-off project or an ongoing need. Contact Tizbi for a consultation, the right structure depends on specifics that are easier to walk through directly than to generalize.
