Businesses use staff augmentation to utilize an exact number of workers with a specific set of skills necessary to meet project deadlines. By focusing on a specific set of skills, less time and money are spent training for extraneous skills not needed for a given project.

With changes in healthcare reform, businesses will be faced with the task and expense of making health insurance available to all employees, which results in diversion of investment resources from the actual project to employee benefits.

While the full time employees have the option of working extra hours at a higher, overtime rate, staff augmentation can reduce the cost of having skilled workers present beyond the typical hours of full time employees.

Unless businesses sign a contract for a specific amount of staff augmentation hours, businesses have the option of canceling any additional workers present as part of staff augmentation services at any time.

Staff augmentation enables businesses to change the speed at which they grow through the use of resources that bear no impact upon the company when they are not needed. As a result, businesses will grow at a faster pace and adapt to meet the demands of investors and advance their project management goals.
