Good IT resources have moved from the ‘hard to find‘ bracket to the ‘impossible to find, so you better come up with a new strategy‘ bracket!

Where are all the good IT resources? Why are the software vendors, as well as the end clients, worried about this?

This is such a fascinating topic. We have lived the journey as an initial hybris partner prior to the SAP acquisition of hybris, through to the current day of SAP Commerce Cloud and we have had to study this topic continually throughout the last decade – and we have some good & bad news.

BAD NEWS – resource supply shortage is not going away, in fact its getting worse and will continue to do so.

GOOD NEWS – theres is a solution. Like all good solutions, its conceptually easy – but hard ‘under the hood’. More good news is that the ‘under the hood’ part… you dont have to worry about.

THE SOLUTION?

Build your own offshore team. Yes you heard that correctly – but we dont mean you go through the pain and sufferring of trying to work out how to do it, and then deal with the endless issues that come with it… no, we mean pay a flat rate 20% on top of every offshore resource, at market rate – and let us build your team for you (we’ve been building offshore teams for +15 years, we know the process, and the pitfalls, well!)

Think of this:

You have an inhouse team of 10 and need more resources but can’t find them, or they’re too expensive in the local market…

Simply outline the resources and resource types you need and the ecommbi team will find them for you. We have an extensive global partner network with partners who are specialists in ALL the Enterprise Ecommerce skillsets (Commercetools, SAP Commerce, Salesforce Commerce, Shopify, Emporix etc). And for difficult to find resources, we call on our partners own trusted partner networks too.

We find the resource types you need whether its a tester or a solution architect – then outline the offshore rate to you, we dont set this rate – its whatever the offshore market rate is (so we work with you to find the best resources and rates for that skillset) and we charge a flat 20% fee on top this.

We do the interviews (unless you wish to do this yourself), and set up the team and the security protocols and the Cloud IDE platforms (if required) that the resources need in order to ramp up fast for you.

No locked in contracts. 30 day termination clause on each resource. If you want a delivery manager we will find one too, if you already have one onsite – then thats fine too. If you decide a resource is not up to scratch… we swap them out for another resource immediately until you have the team you always wanted.

This is the fastest and most cost effective way to build a resilient and skilled and very cost effective team, that will be able to service your Enterprise Ecommerce project over many years and complete definitive knowledge transfer to new team members when any team members leave, or your team requirements grow.

Its an IT team that you’ve always wanted – its with you for the duration of the lifetime of your technology, its high performing, and its low cost.
