Own R&D Center vs Staff Augmentation in Ukraine
Own R&D Center
- Maximized cost savings Your own R&D team is 40% cheaper than an augmented software team. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Long-term commitment Product development and a sense of ownership attract top developers as bees to honey. Hence, more loyalty.
- Your team from day one You get your team of offshore developers for ideation, innovation, and growthโwithout intermediaries.
- Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique expertise in-house.
- Easy investment attraction Establishing your own R&D center with a dedicated development team will enhance your appeal to investors.
Staff Augmentation
- Hefty buy-out fees Want to keep an external team in-house? Get ready for sky-high buyoutsโjust one dev can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
- Temporary fix Vendor’s software engineers are contract-loyal and wonโt go the extra mile for your productโs long-term success.
- Provider-centric teams An augmented team in Ukraine will report only to your vendor, treating you as the โsecondaryโ employer.
- Shared intellectual property You share your IP with developers that come and go to other projects. As a result, the source code is never between you & the team only.
- Barrier to investment attraction Attracting investors is hard when your product is built by augmented developers who will eventually leave your team.
Companies Scaling with Alcor
Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!
With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.
We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.
We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.
Alcorโs R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.
FAQ
Is it beneficial to use staff augmentation services in Ukraine?
You will benefit from staff augmentation services in Latin America and Eastern Europe if you seek to boost your teamโs tech expertise for lower costs. However, this model is short-lived, so if youโre looking for long-term product-based models, consider other options, such as a software R&D center.
What are the common challenges or pitfalls of using IT team extension in Ukraine?
The main flaws of IT staff augmentation lie in cooperation through a third party. Since software engineers work for your provider, they may see your project as a passing one and not feel loyal to your particular task. Besides, youโre less engaged in their management and will have to pay buyout fees should you decide to hire them.
What are the alternatives to IT staff augmentation?
A software R&D center is your all-in-one solution to hire Silicon Valley-caliber tech professionals, manage payroll & accounting, navigate legal & compliance, get equipment procurement, and lease an office with your reliable provider like Alcor. Other models include software outsourcing, managed services, and a dedicated team.
