Augmentation Model

We built Augmentum to support systems companies. We understand the pressures of commercial hardware, IC, and software product and solution development along with the associated technical support and professional services required by your customers. The senior executives at Augmentum have held senior management and technical positions such as VP of Engineering, CTO, and Senior Architect, repeatedly, in enterprise software and systems companies of all sizes. During our careers, we have ramped up outsourced offshore initiatives over and over again, developing in the process a model that is both repeatable and reliable: the Augmentation Model.

Your Augmentation Team™

How does it work? We extend and augment your team at every level. In the US, senior architects and development managers are your primary contacts; knowledge transfer is rapid, effective, and long-lasting. Your offshore resources are trained by the same senior architects and development managers and staffed according to your requirements. Clients can involve themselves at different phases of building the team - write the job descriptions, participate in interviews, etc. - or we can provide a turnkey service. Once established, your Augmentation team is a consistent resource - when the next release is scheduled, or a key customer or salesperson requires an enhancement, or a key customer project is tasked with a new functional requirement, your team and the knowledge you transferred is in place.

Highest Productivity

Clients have visibility into Augmentum's work and control over the work product on an ongoing basis. We collaborate with you and integrate with your working processes, defined or evolving. The ultimate result of this methodology is that Augmentum can commit to achieving and maintaining very high productivity - we can become a true extension of the team you have built. This model stands in sharp contrast to the traditional software services practice, with its roots in the IT world, relying on isolated projects with cumbersome specification processes, and an arms-length relationship between development team and outsourcing partner.
