Own R&D Center vs Staff Augmentation in Romania
Staff Augmentation
- Cloudy pricing If you want to keep your extended team in Romania in-house, expect additional hefty buy-out fees that will substantially raise your overall costs.
- Frequent team changes Software engineers for offshoring or nearshoring teams are contract-loyal and won’t go the extra mile to ensure your product’s long-term success.
- Provider-centric teams An augmented team in Romania will report only to your vendor, treating you as the “secondary” employer.
- Risk of data leakage If your augmented development team provider in Romania doesn’t protect sensitive info, it leaks, and you lose valuable expertise when the contract ends.
- Barrier to investment attraction An extended software team in Romania means entrusting core competencies to developers who will eventually leave. Not the investor’s dream.
Own R&D Center
- Maximized cost savings Your own development team plus office costs 40% cheaper. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Long-term commitment Product development and the feeling of ownership draw developers like moths to a flame. Hence, more loyalty.
- Your team, your rules You get your team for ideation, innovation, and growth—without intermediaries.
- Data security and IP rights 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, you will not only boost your software development capabilities but also become more attractive to investors.
Companies Scaling 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 in Romania
Is it beneficial to use staff augmentation services in Romania?
You will benefit from staff augmentation services in Eastern Europe and Latin America if you seek to boost your team’s tech expertise for lower costs. However, this model is short-lived, so if you’re looking for long-term product-based models, consider other options, such as a software R&D center.
What are the common challenges or pitfalls of using IT team extension in Romania?
The main flaws of IT staff augmentation lie in cooperation through a third party. Since software engineers work for your provider, they may see your project as a passing one and not feel loyal to your particular task. Besides, you’re less engaged in their management and will have to pay buyout fees should you decide to hire them.
What are the alternatives to IT staff augmentation?
A software R&D center is your all-in-one solution to hire Valley-caliber tech professionals, manage payroll & accounting, navigate legal & compliance, get equipment procurement, and lease an office with your reliable provider like Alcor. Other models include software outsourcing, managed services, and a dedicated team.
