Small and medium businesses may choose to outsource work for a variety of reasons. However, there are 3 key challenges or decision factors that are common to all businesses:
- Addressing staffing and expertise shortfalls
- Reducing security risks
- Reducing costs (of infrastructure, software, people)
At 8KMiles, we have built our Virtual Outsourcing Ecosystem effectively addressing these challenges facing the small and medium businesses. Our growing talent pool of verified professionals and small IT companies can be leveraged for on-demand access to talent across technologies and domains. Be it a healthcare firm looking for iPhone, Android or J2ME developers to mobile-enable their solutions or a manufacturing firm requiring CRM customization expertise, 8KMiles can quickly service their needs.
The 8KMiles ecosystem enables businesses to benefit from the services of a verified and assessed talent pool and qualified Project Managers / Project Management companies. With top quality talent and capable managers, buyers can be assured of high quality, on-time project delivery. Additionally, since the ecosystem consists of “Real People”, businesses sign contracts (and Non Disclosure Agreements) that are legally valid.
Our Virtual Computing environments (VCE) help secure source code / data and provide real time project collaboration & tracking capabilities. They can significantly reduce IT infrastructure costs and are well suited for application testing too.
In a nutshell, 8KMiles can address the outsourcing needs of small and medium sized businesses very effectively. Through the 8KMiles model, business owners can stay in complete control of the project, without having to worry about overheads in terms of cost, security issues and talent availability.
