The Top 5 Challenges in Software Development and How SDaaS Provides A Cost-Effective Solution 

What is Software Development as a Service? Software Development as a Service is a model whereby software development services are provided on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis. This model allows companies to outsource their software development needs to specialised providers, leveraging their expertise and resources without the need to maintain an in-house development team. 

Finding Proficient Tech Talent 

Finding, hiring and retaining skilled tech talent is a challenge for many companies. Gartner has conducted surveys that provide insights into the tech talent gap. A notable Gartner survey from 2021 revealed that IT executives see talent sourcing shortages as the most significant barrier to adopting emerging technologies. The survey indicated that 64% of IT executives viewed the lack of available talent as a major hurdle to technology adoption.  

SDaaS (Software Development as a Service) provides access to a pool of experienced developers and IT professionals, alleviating the costs associated with recruitment and talent retention. This model allows companies to quickly fill gaps in their tech teams by borrowing committed full-time employees from our teams.  

Flexibility in Service Provision for Client Needs 

When the time comes to deliver key features, new projects or even a proof-of-concept to the business, SDaaS is flexible and can scale up faster and more effectively. Since SDaaS is a long-term partnership, work on each deliverable can begin with less onboarding time, as new additions to your team will have been previously briefed on the logic and flow of your project (they will already be members of our teams). We see this as a highly valuable asset and competitive service offering. 

Speedbumps Affecting Deployment Timelines 

Delay in product launch caused by personnel or tech talent limitations may cause undue stress on business modalities. SDaaS can help by providing rapid deployment capabilities. With teams ready to be assigned at short notice, SDaaS ensures that project timelines are met. This is crucial in maintaining a competitive edge in fast-paced industries.  

Cost Dependencies Throughout Development 

Technology advancements and the need for specialised talent are essential to enhance efficiency and productivity for our clients. They generally prefer not to go down the in-house tech personnel route, as this narrows down the technology their full-time staff are equipped to deal with, and leads to unexpectedly high operational costs when their current tech support is asked to upskill to technologies that they have less experience of. 

With SDaaS, companies can reduce costs associated with recruitment, training, and in the maintaining an in-house tech resource. SDaaS allows businesses to scale resources up or down based on demand, ensuring cost-efficiency and allowing our clients to focus on their business priorities.
