Squad as a Service: Accelerate IT Projects Without Growing Your Internal Team
Your company needs to accelerate IT projects, but hiring new professionals takes months, costs quickly escalate, and your internal technical capacity is already at its limit. Meanwhile, strategic initiatives remain stalled, putting your competitiveness at risk.
The adoption of emerging technologies faces a growing obstacle: the shortage of qualified professionals. According to a recent Gartner survey, IT executives consider talent scarcity the most significant barrier to adopting 64% of emerging technologies, a dramatic increase from just 4% in 2020. At the same time, 79% of organizations plan to increase their IT workforce in 2024, intensifying the competition for skilled professionals.
The solution is not to inflate your permanent headcount. Instead, it lies in adopting Squad as a Service, a strategic allocation model where multidisciplinary teams are integrated into your operation to execute specific projects.
With this model, you gain immediate access to developers, analysts, architects, QA specialists, and experts in cloud and AI, all aligned with agile methodologies. And you do so without the costs and risks associated with permanent hiring.
Why Squad as a Service Outperforms Traditional Hiring
McKinsey confirms that organizations that allocate talent dynamically are more than twice as likely to achieve strong performance compared to those relying on traditional fixed structures. The difference lies in speed and flexibility. While traditional hiring processes can take months, involve fixed costs regardless of demand, and create long-term labor liabilities, Squad as a Service works differently.
Fast onboarding within weeksSpecialized squads start delivering value quickly, without long learning curves.
Variable cost aligned with the projectYou only pay for the execution period, converting CAPEX into OPEX and maintaining predictable budgets.
