Efficient & Effective Networking

Any successful company knows that there are certain resources they’ll need that would be produced better and cheaper by someone else. For example, companies that design and engineer innovative products might hire another company to manufacture those products because the manufacturer specializes in that service. Anything that improves the bottom line while also increasing the quality of the final product should be considered and ultimately implemented.

Recruiting software talent takes time and money. Recruiting high-quality software talent takes even more time and sometimes more money. Fortunately, there are companies that have established networks that enable them to identify and recruit quality talent efficiently and effectively. Crossbridge has established such a network where there is a deep pool of talent in a relatively local area. Mexico has been rising in the ranks of the software industry thanks to an education system and a business culture that has produced top-notch and experienced software talent.

Don’t Offshore, Nearshore._front-view-abstract-representation-financial-crisis

Don’t Offshore, Nearshore.

According to Statista, 64% of companies utilize offshore outsourced development teams. The large majority of those developers are from countries that have no time zone similarities, are culturally distant, and leave the organization with a surplus of maintenance issues.

When nearshoring your development team, these problems disappear. Organizations that adopt nearshoring get ahead of the curve, cutting costs while still maintaining the highest standard for development team members.

Our clients reap the immense benefits of our nearshore model, and we want you to experience the same.

Why Staff Augmentation is the Best Option

Let’s start, first of all, do you know what staff augmentation is? Well here we’ll tell you.

Staff augmentation is defined as the process of addition of resources to a particular team or business process in order to meet the project demand and timely delivery. 

Staff Augmentation is for companies seeking flexibility, is a simple hiring at a rate of one developer to the whole fully equipped team into the in-house office.

Rather than hiring new full-time employees to fulfill temporary increases in work, a business can instead use staff augmentation. Through staff augmentation, businesses can use temporary workers to fill needed positions, completing tasks and projects at a fraction of the cost and without the need for long-term employment. Here are some of the core benefits of staff augmentation.

 

Some of the benefits of using staff augmentation:

  1. A larger talent pool of qualified and specialist staff with extensive expertise
  2. Scalability widens your chances to finding the best staff to hire

  4. Meeting each and every project deadline
  5. Management control over staff
  6. Saving time and staying focused
  7. Execution of utmost operational efficiency

7 Top Technology Trends for 2019

Welcome to the first blog from our new website, we appreciate your visit. In this blog we will talk about the 7 Top Technology Trends we are expecting for 2019. Are you ready? Let’s first talk about how fast technology is growing and changing, sometimes it’s even hard to keep track of all the technological advances it makes because you were trying to figure out how the past technology trends worked. But don’t worry, you’ll get better and soon you will be updated with all these unexpected new changes. 1. Robotic Process Automation RPA, is another technology that is automating jobs. RPA is the use of software to automate business processes such as interpreting applications, processing transactions, dealing with data, and even replying to emails. RPA automates repetitive tasks that people used to do. 2. Cyber security You might think this is not something new, it has been around since a while but it has been evolving as other technologies are. hackers are trying to illegally access data are not going to give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the toughest security measures. It’s also in part because new technology is being adapted to enhance security. 3. Artificial Intelligence As you may know, Artificial Intelligence has already received a lot of buzz in previous years, and it continues to be a trend to keep an eye on it because its effects on how we live, work and play are only in the early stages. AI refers to computers systems built to simulate human intelligence and perform tasks such as recognition of images, speech or patterns and decision making. AI can do these tasks faster and more accurately than humans. 4. Virtual Reality and augmented reality Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user in an environment while Augment Reality (AR) enhances their environment. Although VR has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for training. 5. Internet of things The internet of thing is the future, many “things” are now being built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and to each other.  businesses also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet. 6. Machine learning With Machine Learning, computers are programmed to learn to do something they are not programmed to do: They literally learn by discovering patterns and insights from data. In general, we have two types of learning, supervised and unsupervised. 7. Edge computing The adoption of cloud computing is still growing, as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution. But it’s no longer the emerging technology. Edge is. Move over, cloud computing, and make way for the edge.
