Case Study: Pulsion’s Collaboration With Accourt

Pulsion had the opportunity to spearhead a groundbreaking overhaul project for one of the UK’s biggest financial institutions, Accourt. The previously outdated and ill-performing Fraud Management system built on a SharePoint foundation had multiple challenges, some including a lack of scalability, user interface defects, and failed reporting. So, Pulsion’s dedicated teams implemented an avante-garde serverless solution hosted by our trusted Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner. The robust, cost-effective, and scalable replacement immediately revolutionised how Accourt’s customers interacted with their system.

Our dedicated team’s AWS serverless architecture provided scalability, enhanced overall system reliability across multiple availability zones, eliminated maintenance issues, and reduced infrastructure costs. Today, Accourt’s new serverless system handles 20,0000 transactions and accommodates over 2,000 users monthly without setbacks. The forefront system also passed multiple independent audits to highlight our team’s dedication and commitment to delivering optimal-quality products. Accourt’s Managing Partner, Vaughan Collie, continues to praise the system’s outcomes, robustness, and optimised efficiency.

Dedicated Developer Hiring Models at Pulsion

There are three basic models for hiring dedicated developers from our diverse teams:

Option 1. Extended Team Augmentation Model

In this scenario, you hire dedicated programmers to supplement your existing development team. They work full-time at your premises and typically support your own developers by bringing their additional specialised skills to the table.

This gives you the flexibility to scale your development resources as you need to, and to add extra hands on deck during peak times or for specific higher-intensity campaigns. It’s also more cost-effective than hiring permanent developers, reducing the overall development and maintenance costs that you would otherwise incur.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you need to hire dedicated developers for a temporary skills infusion.
  • When you have intensive short-term projects that don’t warrant adding permanent staff.
  • When you need to use a specific programming language that your in-house team isn’t familiar with.

2. Project-Based Dedicated Development Model

In the project-based model, you can hire developers to handle your entire project on an outsourced basis. You define the project scope and the schedule of deliverables, and a dedicated developer team will own and execute the entire project for you. This includes all the planning and project management.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you have a well-defined project, with identified timelines, milestones and end goals.
  • When you need to keep costs fixed – you’ll typically pay a flat rate per project.
  • When the project requires a dedicated developers team that you don’t have time to manage yourself.

3. Full Managed Team Model

In the managed team model you’ll hire a dedicated development team to work at your own premises. This team will include all the dedicated developers you need, as well as a project manager to run the show for you. Depending on the project, other experts may also be provided, such as user experience designers. This be a much faster way of getting projects ready for market, compared with building your own team from scratch. All resources are fully skilled, experienced and ready to go.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you have a large or complex project that requires a diverse range of skills and designations.
  • When you don’t have the in-house software developers or skills to take on the project.
  • When you need a dedicated project manager in addition to the actual development and don’t want to divert internal resources, or don’t have any development managers.

Hiring Dedicated Developer FAQs

General Information

Dedicated developers are contractors with specialised skills who you can hire for specific projects. They work full-time for your company for the project duration, but aren’t part of your permanent workforce. This means you don’t have to worry about all the administrative aspects of HR, as you simply pay a fee to the agency that supplies them.

 

Hiring experienced dedicated developers immediately bolsters your company with additional skill sets. This allows your own staff to focus on their core business tasks while these new resources take care of the software development.

Pulsion’s Dedicated Developer Model is a specialised service where clients hire dedicated developers who work exclusively on their project, ensuring a focused, efficient, and tailored approach to software development.

Unlike traditional overseas outsourcing, Pulsion’s dedicated model emphasises close collaboration, high-quality standards, and a deep understanding of client goals, ensuring a more integrated and efficient development process.

You can use the same process to hire offshore dedicated developers as you would when choosing a local outsourcing vendor. The best places to start are online platforms like GitHub or Clutch.

The short answer is, for as long as you need to. You can hire dedicated developers for a short project or on a longer-term basis. Agile scalability is a big benefit of the outsourcing model.

Suitability and Choices

Pulsion adheres to strict confidentiality agreements and conflict of interest policies to safeguard client interests, ensuring integrity and trustworthiness in all engagements.

Pulsion’s dedicated developer services are utilised by a wide range of companies, from startups to large enterprises, across various industries.
Hiring dedicated developers from Pulsion ensures expert skills, personalised service, and a commitment to aligning with your business goals, and delivering high-quality solutions.

There are several cases where you’ll find the need to hire dedicated developers, and these won’t be hard to identify. The first and most obvious reason is a lack of in-house skills when you need to create a system or platform and you don’t have any dedicated software developers of your own. A dedicated developer approach is also suitable for long-term projects where you don’t want to hire full-time resources. You can get a full software development team and leave them to get on with it, at a fraction of the cost of creating permanent positions in-house.

 

It’s also a good idea to hire dedicated developers for long-term projects, or projects with a loosely defined scope, when you’re not sure of the total cost ramifications. By paying a fixed hiring cost you’ll avoid budget over-runs.

 

You’ll also be able to implement an cutting edge agility development methodology, which has become critical in the fast-paced world of technology. Dedicated developer teams have the time and capacity to iterate, thus decreasing development time and allowing testing to be conducted in parallel with development. This can significantly reduce the time to market.

Choosing the Dedicated Development Team Model

The dedicated development team model is most suited to large or longer projects. Using this approach you’ll outsource your entire project development to an external software development company. They will work with you to provide the exact resources you need, including dedicated developers, dedicated project managers, QA specialists and interface designers. You get to choose each team member to ensure that your exact needs will be met.

 

This dedicated team will be completely committed to your project alone, rather than working on multiple projects at a time. The model has great flexibility, as you can hire software developers and other resources according to the workload at any given time. You’ll also have full control over the scope and have complete transparency into the development process, with constant progress reports.

How to Hire Dedicated Developers – 3 Steps

When you first hire dedicated resources, it can pose a challenge if you haven’t done this before. Here’s a quick checklist of the most important steps.

Step 1 – Analyse Your Business Needs and Goals

Your first step is to define what you need in granular detail. Naturally, you should consider the hard skills, programming knowledge, and hardware you require. You must also take into account the aim of your project in terms of the strategic needs of your business, and the consumer needs you aim to satisfy. This will allow you to holistically evaluate candidates when you interview them.

Step 2 – Find and Interview Vendors Using Platforms

Word of mouth is always an excellent way of hiring a software development team, as is Google. There are also several online platforms to help you with the hiring process. Some of the most popular are:

GitHub | Clutch |  Stack Overflow | Upwork

Step 3 – Check Development and Knowledge Skill Sets

Obviously you’ll need to ensure that you get highly skilled developers capable of creating the exact solution you need as quickly as possible. Spend some time discussing your what you require to ensure that the dedicated developers assigned to your team have the right skills.

A Strong, Diverse Team

We have an entire team of very experienced developers with vast domain knowledge, all specialists in their various programming languages. They are technology experts in a wide range of platforms and flavours, including ReactJs, IOS, Android, AngularJs, Node.js, Xamarin and Laravel.

Dedicated Team Management

Strong management is another forte, thanks to our expert project managers who are skilled professionals.

Professional and Experienced Developers

Our dedicated teams have been working together for a long time, implementing the highest standards, using proven industry expertise and processes. We provide seamless collaboration with your own personnel.

How to Interview Potential Developers or Development Teams

The main thing to focus on when interviewing a dedicated development company are firstly communicating your business goals clearly and accurately. Constantly assess whether the people you are interviewing grasp these and encourage them to ask clarifying questions. Examine the skill set and experience of the developers they propose and ask for their proven track record. Also look at their track records and get references if possible.

 

At the end of the interview you should have clearly established what you need, and have a good idea of how the development company aims to meet your goals on time and with high quality levels.

Capabilities and Limitations

Pulsion is flexible in its approach and can arrange for developers to work onsite with your team, depending on the project requirements and logistics.

Pulsion strives to align its developers’ working hours with your time zone to ensure effective communication and collaboration.

Avoid These Mistakes When You Hire Dedicated Developers

With mission-critical projects, it’s usually foolhardy to simply go for the cheapest dedicated developers. Don’t fall into the trap of putting price before value. As the saying goes, if you think an expert professional is too expensive, wait until you see how much an amateur will cost you.

 

Don’t hire more developers than you need. You should have a full grasp of your development needs before hiring, to ensure you don’t waste money on superfluous personnel. Lastly, if you’re undertaking a complex project, don’t ignore the value of also bringing in dedicated project management.

Operational Considerations When Hiring Dedicated Developers

There are a few other operational issues you may want to discuss when you hire dedicated developers. You might like them to sign a non-disclosure agreement, for instance, preferably before disclosing proprietary information when you interview them.

 

It’s also good to clarify the exact role of the outsourcing company itself, to make sure that they will take care of all the necessary staffing logistics and admin. Establishing a regular and frequent work logging and reporting schedule is also a very good idea.

Before making the decision to hire dedicated developers, businesses should consider several key factors to ensure a successful collaboration and project outcome:

  1. Project Scope and Requirements: Clearly define the scope, goals, and requirements of your project. This includes outlining features, functionalities, timelines, and any specific technologies or platforms needed.
  2. Skill Set and Expertise: Assess the skill set and expertise required for your project. Look for developers with experience in relevant technologies and industries, ensuring they can meet your technical requirements effectively.
  3. Team Structure and Size: Determine the size and composition of the dedicated development team needed for your project. This could range from a single developer to a larger team with diverse roles such as frontend, backend, UI/UX, etc.
  4. Communication and Collaboration: Ensure clear communication channels and collaboration methods are established. This includes discussing time zones, preferred communication tools, and frequency of updates to maintain transparency and alignment throughout the project.
  5. Budget and Cost Considerations: Evaluate your budget and cost expectations for hiring dedicated developers. Compare rates, consider factors like hourly or project-based pricing, and ensure the chosen option fits within your financial constraints.
  6. Portfolio and Reputation: Review the developer’s portfolio, client testimonials, and industry reputation. Look for proven experience and successful projects that demonstrate their capabilities and reliability.
  7. Contractual Agreements and Terms: Establish clear contractual agreements covering terms of engagement, project milestones, deliverables, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and dispute resolution processes.
  8. Support and Maintenance: Discuss post-launch support and maintenance needs for your project. Ensure the developers can provide ongoing support, updates, and troubleshooting as required.

By carefully considering these factors before hiring dedicated developers, businesses can make informed decisions that contribute to a successful development partnership and project outcome.

Choosing between local dedicated developers and offshore developers depends on various factors, and each option has its own advantages. Here are reasons why local dedicated developers might be preferable in certain situations:

  1. Time Zone and Communication: Local developers often share your time zone, facilitating real-time communication, quicker responses to queries, and easier coordination of meetings and project updates. This can lead to smoother collaboration and reduced turnaround times.
  2. Cultural and Language Compatibility: Working with local developers can minimize language barriers and cultural differences that might affect communication and understanding of project requirements. Shared cultural context can also foster better teamwork and alignment.
  3. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Local developers are typically well-versed in local laws, regulations, and compliance standards that may be relevant to your project. This can mitigate legal risks and ensure adherence to data protection and intellectual property laws.
  4. Quality and Skill Assurance: Local developers often come with a reputation that can be verified through local networks and references. There may be a higher level of trust and confidence in their skills, work ethic, and reliability due to familiarity with local business practices and standards.
  5. Proximity for Collaboration and Meetings: Being geographically closer allows for easier face-to-face meetings when necessary, which can be beneficial for discussing complex issues, brainstorming sessions, or project kick-offs. It enhances personal relationships and trust.
  6. Cultural Alignment with Business Goals: Local developers may have a better understanding of your business culture, market dynamics, and customer expectations, which can contribute to more aligned development strategies and product outcomes.

However, it’s important to note that offshore developers also offer significant advantages, such as potentially lower costs, access to diverse talent pools, and round-the-clock development cycles. The choice between local and offshore developers ultimately depends on your specific project requirements, budget constraints, and the importance of factors like communication, quality assurance, and cultural alignment to your business goals.
