Dedicated Development Team vs. Team Extension: What is Right for Your Project?
Companies often refer to outsourcing in order to deal with business challenges, such as skill gaps, costly development, and maintenance burden. According to the Deloitte 2021 Global Shared Services and Outsourcing Survey, 88% of companies decide to outsource to perceive cost reduction, 78% – standardization and process efficiency, and 63% – business value.
Outsourcing, in general, does not solve all of these problems simultaneously. It comes with several service models that have necessary capacity to address different needs. The two most popular outsourcing models – a dedicated team and team extension – vary in problems they solve, resources they draw, the nature of cooperation, and price.
Yet, a decision about whether to go with a dedicated team or to hire some developers from your outsourcing vendor’s side should not be made solely based on the cheapest paycheck. Your service model should be in line with your needs. Otherwise, you run the risk of paying twice: first, for the option you thought was the right one for you and then for the one that actually was.
This is why we are going to discuss today the differences between a dedicated team and a team extension outsourcing model and how to choose the one that works best for you!

HOW TO BUILD AN ONLINE EDUCATION PLATFORM
Today neither students, nor teachers and professors can imagine their daily routine without online studying due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic. Dozens or even hundreds of online services are being used daily by both scholars and education staff. However, it is not the pandemic we should give all the credit for online education to exist. Alternative ways of studying appeared as early as the XIX century. Advanced tech such as steam engines and the railway assured faster and more reliable correspondence delivery, thus making remote education possible. The very next important step towards online learning was made in the XX century with computers and the Internet being invented. In 1989 the University of Phoenix became the first institution to launch a fully online collegiate institution providing both bachelors and masters degrees. A few years later in 1994 the International University (Missouri) became the first fully online-based higher educational institution. Nowadays all major universities use online platforms to provide education services to their students. And again: it all has started even before the pandemic. Educational institutions used numerous platforms as secondary or even major tools in their work. The most advanced universities paid great attention to elearning platforms development. They used online platforms as a single place, where students could send their homeworks and get all the necessary materials to cram for their exams.
