IT Staff Augmentation
Specialized, industry-specific skills and hands-on expertise with your IT system can be difficult and expensive to obtain. The hassles of recruitment, training, and administrative management can considerably increase the cost and time required for even basic services.
Blue Heron Consulting can relieve your staff of these resource-sapping activities, assembling the particular expertise you need from our own staff of resources and established recruitment channels. Our staff augmentation specialists handle all the administration, immediately delivering top-notch technology professionals at affordable rates:
- Technical Analysts
- Business and Systems Analysts
- Programmers
- Application Testers
- Project Managers
- Curriculum Developers/Trainers
- Billing System Experts
Staff augmentation with Blue Heron is a flexible, affordable alternative to hiring permanent staff. The length of staff placement and number of resources is adaptable according to your changing needs and can be performed at your site or remotely through Blue Heron Solution Centers located in the United States and abroad.
Project Management Expertise
Blue Heron's project managers have the experience and objectivity to ensure the on-time, on-budget completion of your project. Every Blue Heron project manager has years of industry-specific expertise with all major vendor packages, enabling them to leverage lessons-learned and introduce best-of-breed efficiencies. They have expertise in using Blue Heron methodologies, templates, and project accelerators to effectively manage the project and ensure full knowledge transfer to the client. Most have certification from the Project Management Institute as well.
Quality Assurance
Staff augmentation with Blue Heron resources has the additional benefit of introducing an independent third party to your project team. Due to our lack of formal alliances and partnerships with package vendors, Blue Heron often can make recommendations resulting in significant reductions in project scope and cost. It is not uncommon for Blue Heron to recommend solutions that contradict what package vendors or package-affiliated integrators recommend for clients. That advantage is an "extra set of eyes" for our clients, ensuring their interests and saving them time and money.
