Our Real-World Case Studies
Visit DA
- Industry: Data Management
- Challenges: The client communicated in German, while we used English. Moreover, we had to handle complex computations across multiple tablets for report generation. This goal required a deep understanding of the existing database. The CanvasJS library was useful for displaying charts, but its capabilities were limited.
- Solutions: To overcome the language barrier, our project team used translation software to facilitate communication. The augmented staff worked closely with the client to understand the data's structure. The client also got sample reports for verification purposes. Code extensions helped meet the specific visualization requirements.
- Results: Thanks to well-structured outsourcing cooperation models, the developed platform could manage and visualize data to monitor equipment health across multiple locations. Users could then make informed decisions about how to allocate storage based on the data.
InstaCoupon
- Industry: Ecommerce
- Challenges: Good preparation, thorough testing, and smooth teamwork with other vendors were key to ensuring smooth data flow and functionality across diverse platforms. Additionally, the mobile application should perform smoothly across various services and operating systems, including Android and iOS. High employee retention rates and consistent coordination played a vital role, too.
- Solutions: Our augmented staff implemented a feature that triggered notifications to attract offers when directing beacon signals. We also retrieved deals from various stores, like bars, shopping outlets, and restaurants. Users only received their desired deals.
- Results: InstaCoupon allowed users to link and pay via bank for their purchases, with a strong focus on security. The app featured feasibility to meet user expectations for speed, accuracy, and reliability.
ITS – Tax Computation
- Industry: Tax
- Challenges: Previously, the client handled all tasks manually using basic software. End users were required to complete tax questionnaires on paper. There were numerous questionnaires to fill out. Moreover, the tax formula was complex. Since the results depended on user responses, even minor mistakes could lead to significantly incorrect tax outcomes.
- Solutions: The augmented staff used a minimal layout for tax questionnaires. We also studied user behavior on complex forms and enhanced the communication feature. With IT resource augmentation, we ensured the right experts were in place to reduce errors.
- Results: With the support of our staff augmentation services, the client could handle complex tax formulas. ITS benefited both tax consultants and taxpayers by saving significant time and effort while streamlining the entire process.

Our Insights
FAQs
When Should You Choose IT Staff Augmentation?
IT staff augmentation is ideal when you:
- Need an extended team with augmented staff from a vendor.
- Work on urgent, evolving, and short-term projects.
- Prioritize cost-effectiveness as you quickly scale your workforce without long-term hiring.
- Seek niche expertise while maintaining direct control over the project. You can hire a full-time project manager, or a part-time project manager as required.
However, if you prefer full vendor accountability or when your in-house team lacks management capacity, consider staff augmentation vs. managed services. The latter may be the better choice. And if you need a fixed-price model, consider T&M with a cap.
What Are the Potential Risks of Staff Augmentation?
IT staff augmentation services give you a high level of flexibility. Yet, you should be aware of these risks:
- Communication gaps due to time zone, cultural, and language differences.
- Integration challenges in aligning augmented staff with your internal team and workflow.
- Security and IP concerns when working with sensitive data.
- Hidden costs and strain on your internal team due to unclear oversight and onboarding.
But don't worry! You can mitigate risks with strong contracts, effective project management tools, and strategic guidance.
How Much Does IT Staff Augmentation Cost?
The cost of IT resource augmentation varies based on skill level, region, duration, and role. For example:
- Onshore (US, EU): $70–150/hour
- Nearshore (Eastern Europe, Latin America): $40–80/hour
- Offshore (Asia, Africa): $28–50/hour
Short-term projects or niche expertise may cost more, while long-term contracts often bring cost savings. You need transparent quotes and clear onboarding processes to avoid risks.
Can I Interview and Approve Candidates Before They Join My Team?

What Happens If A Developer from Saigon Technology Doesn't Perform As Expected?
