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 won’t 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 It’s 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 growth—without 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 After establishing your own R&D center with a loyal team, you will become more attractive to investors.
Companies are hiring
now 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.
Alcor’s 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 Alcor’s 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 you’d like to use. Interested in hiring developers and benefiting from an Employer of Record service in LatAm 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, you’ll 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.
2. Turnkey software R&D center services vs extended team—what’s the difference?
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. What’s more, you won’t 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, you’ll pay an additional fee for each software developer.
3. How much time does it take to set up a software research and development center in Eastern Europe or Latin America?
It usually takes us 2 months to establish a fully equipped software R&D office in Latin America or Eastern Europe. Further timelines depend on the number and type of IT specialists you need. As your trusted software R&D service provider, we guarantee to hire senior software developers in 2-6 weeks. All of this can be further supported by our Employer of Record, employer branding, and other turnkey R&D center services so that your offshore team works like clockwork.
4. What services does Alcor’s software R&D solution include?
Alcor provides turnkey software R&D as a service for tech product companies in the LATAM and EE regions. We’ll set up your own software R&D center in 2-3 months and build a Silicon Valley-caliber development team from 0 to 100 people in a year. It’s an all-in-one solution that includes full-cycle tech recruitment, Employer of Record services, and operational support — everything to build a 100% compliant research and development team with unmatched 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 Alcor’s Employer of Record. What does it mean? You don’t 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, Alcor’s R&D services for software companies cover everything: developer employment, compliance with local laws and regulations, onboarding/offboarding, monthly payroll, accounting, and benefits management.
6. Do you provide software research and development services?
No, we at Alcor don’t have an in-house engineering team waiting for you on the bench. We go to the market to hire “from scratch” specifically for your needs. Alcor has a team of operational experts, including tech recruiters, account managers, lawyers, accountants, and finance specialists, so we aren’t able to build software for research and development purposes.
