Teams as a Service

Expertise delivered at pace

We fundamentally believe that the traditional models of staff augmentation leave a bit to be desired. Technology leaders have consulting fatigue and building a team of contractors can be challenging, both in terms of management time and ensuring that the knowledge is retained and legacy is left. Socium has taken the best components from both these models to create our alternative delivery offering – TaaS

A fresh approach:
Reworking a tired model:

Hiring, up-skilling, and managing individual developers can be very resource and time intensive. A self-managing, motivated team, by its very definition, requires far less oversight while still providing full transparency. Our tailored and customer-driven TaaS solution, provides preformed, rapidly deployed teams of strategy consultants, research specialists and industry experts, to help overcome any technical business challenge our customers might face and delivering tangible business outcomes and project deliverables.

HOW WE DIFFER

Flexible pricing

Working your way

  • Our blended pricing model is fluid and flexible so if priorities or projects change, we can strip back or ramp up teams in rapid time without clients incurring the costs associated with a consulting firm.
  • In the unlikely event that any team changes are needed during the course of the programme, these are made immediately at zero cost to the client.
  • By owning the deliverable, our customers get programme security at a fraction of the cost of traditional consultancy businesses.

Client control

TaaS delivery engine

  • By committing to set deliverables, Socium’s TaaS solution is able to de-risk both projects and outcomes for our clients.
  • By keeping ownership of the project and the resources working on it our customers maintain overall control, but with the added resource and programme security of agency delivery models.
