Staff augmentation services are the key resources for IT management. In today's context, businesses have to drive a higher resource utilization leading to a lower count of permanent staff. In addition, with increased reliance on package solutions and need to incorporate emerging technologies, there is often short-term need for specialized resources. It is therefore critical for businesses to implement an effective process and develop relationships with partners to be able to bring skilled resources at an attractive cost in time to meet the business needs.

Staff Augmentation is an extensively used approach to overcome short-term resource crunch and to acquire specialized skills. Use of these services enables management to keep a lower constant headcount - converting fixed cost to variable cost. Traditionally, Staff Augmentation processes have been informal and ad-hoc. Over the last few years, processes for staff augmentation have become more formalized and are being viewed as critical resource. Streamlined processes help reduce indirect administration cost and also provide better process management capability.

Unlike other procured goods and services, it is difficult to manage price/performance of these IT services. The cost of resources tends to vary considerably based on the supplier and the process used to procure the resource. While it may be to have a number of competing vendors to drive down the cost, the cost of managing quality and administration of a large number of vendors can become exorbitant. It is there for important to implement a process that provides a good balance of competition and manageability.
