If your business is ready to engage an IT Staff Augmentation Partner, you have already decided you need and want help.

In this article, we outline three areas to discuss when hiring a prospective IT staff augmentation partner.
Delivery Models
Every business need is different and even your business needs may change from month to month. What delivery models does this partner offer? Ideally, you want the most flexibility to respond to changes. You plan for one thing and then discover that you need more resources or a different type of resource. How does the partner respond to that kind of change? You may want onsite resources that are embedded with your team, or offshore resources working from the partner offices to deliver services remotely, or you may want a hybrid delivery model with some resources onsite and some offsite. Can your partner accommodate those needs and do they have experience in delivering services in this way?
