IT Outsourcing vs Software R&D Center
IT Outsourcing
- Cloudy pricing Gear up to pay way more than you initially expected: providers will only let you in on the total costs in the end.
- Frequent team changes Skilled software engineers are allocated between other projects, so you never know if your A-players will be snatched away.
- No corporate culture & employer branding Your offshore developers work under your outsourcing provider’s brand. Thus, no room for your corporate culture and policies is left.
- 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 & team only.
- Not investment material Itโs tough to get investors onboard if you delegate your unique product creation to developers who will soon leave your team.
Software R&D Center
- Maximized savings Your own development team plus office costs 40% cheaper. Because you hire and get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Simplified recruiting Product creation and the feeling of ownership draw developers like moths to a flame. Hence, more loyalty to your company.
- Own branded office & rules You get your own physical office 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 team will enhance your appeal to investors.
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.
FAQ on Alcorโs software R&D as a service
- How much does a turnkey software R&D center cost?
It depends on the number of software R&D services youโd like to use. Interested in hiring developers and benefiting from an Employer of Record service in Latin America or Eastern Europe? No problem. Or do you also need employer branding, hardware procurement, or other R&D company-related services in addition to tech recruitment and EoR? Consider it done. With our flexible engagement model, youโll enjoy predictable and transparent pricing. Regulate costs easily by paying only for those research & development software services that you use. Contact us to find out your approximate expenses.ย
2. Turnkey software R&D center services vs extended teamโwhatโs the difference?ย
When setting up your own software R&D center, you manage an engineering team independently with no intermediaries. Meanwhile, an extended development team is supervised by IT outstaffing vendors who assign project managers to help you with onboarding, training, and project management, etc. Whatโs more, you wonโt face any buy-out fees with software R&D center services as the programming team is yours from day one, while with an extended team model, youโll pay an additional fee for each software developer.ย
3. How much time does it take to set up a software research and development center in Latin America or Eastern Europe?ย
We can establish a fully equipped software R&D office in Latin America or Eastern Europe within 2 months. The time it takes to hire IT specialists depends on the specific roles and numbers you need. However, we guarantee senior software developers will be hired within 2-6 weeks. As your reliable R&D service provider, we provide comprehensive support through our Employer of Record, employer branding, and turnkey services to ensure your offshore team operates seamlessly.
4. What services does Alcorโs software R&D solution include?ย
Alcor offers turnkey software R&D services for tech product companies in LATAM and Eastern Europe. We can establish your software R&D center within 2-3 months and scale your development team from 0 to 100 people in just one year, delivering Silicon Valley-caliber talent. Our all-in-one solution includes comprehensive tech recruitment, Employer of Record services, and operational supportโeverything you need to build a fully compliant R&D team while achieving significant cost savings.
5. What do the Employer of Record services include as a part of the software R&D global services?
As a part of our software R&D as a service, you can employ developers via Alcorโs Employer of Record. What does it mean? You donโt need to set up your legal entity when expanding to LATAM or Eastern Europe and deal with the legal complexities of the local markets. Instead, Alcorโs R&D services for software companies cover everything: developer employment, compliance with local laws and regulations, onboarding/offboarding, monthly payroll, accounting, and benefits management.ย
6. Do you provide software research and development services?ย
Alcor does not provide software development services directly. Instead, we specialize in building custom engineering teams from scratch that are tailored to your specific needs. We focus on sourcing top talent from the market and managing the operational aspects, including tech recruitment, account management, legal, and financial support. While we don’t have an in-house engineering team, our expertise ensures you get the right people and infrastructure for your R&D projects.
