Research shows that revenue in the IT outsourcing market is projected to reach $512.50 billion USD in 2024. A big driver of this growth is the telecommunications industry, as operators are increasingly looking for niche expertise and proven digital transformation experience. Nowadays, the goal is to turn a telco into techco – a company able to rapidly implement new technologies, speed up time to market and be more adaptive to changing market conditions. Joining the Cloud Communications Alliance presents a good opportunity to highlight how a reliable software partner can drive this kind of transformation, create new revenue streams and drive growth. While return on investment (ROI) and budget-friendly innovation are clear advantages, teaming up with external engineers and consultants goes far beyond cost-efficiency. Here are some of the most notable benefits a global technology partner can deliver: Increased scalability: Companies that work with a software partner can access specialized skills and resources – on demand. This means scaling development efforts to meet project requirements without the constraints of recruiting and training new employees. Enhanced focus: By outsourcing software product development, organizations can redirect their focus to core operations and strategic initiatives. Bigger talent pool: Working with a global software partner widens talent pools and opens up access to a global network of skilled professionals. Boosted efficiency: External software development experts who operate across different time zones offer the advantage of continuous work cycles. Reduced risks: Outsourced software development can mitigate risks, reduce errors and speed up delivery. External engineers bring diverse industry experiences and domain expertise that enrich in-house specialists through knowledge-sharing and best practices.
