Staff Augmentation & Enhancement

There are times when your internal engineering bench requires a particular skillset that is either missing or in short supply. This can be due to unplanned leaves of absence or unexpected departures of internal IT staff. When this occurs, SK IT Solutions can be the solution to the short-term problem with our Staff Augmentation/Enhancement Services.

How it works

This service is typically billed on a retainer with a minimum engagement length and preferred pricing for longer engagements. We also understand that Staff Augmentation is an expensive option so the goal is to help find a permanent solution for the long term that is more beneficial to the client. This service is also extended to IT partners that might need to provide more depth to their in-house engineers by leveraging SK IT Solutions for niche services or skillsets on a billable pass-through basis to their clients.

Examples of staff augmentation services

• Temporary staff augmentation for staffing shortages in network engineering and Azure cloud engineering
• Per-project engineering enhancement (for IT partners and larger client internal IT departments)
• General staff augmentation for planned maintenance and upgrades, including on-call (client internal IT departments)
• Part-time, highly skilled engineering resources on a monthly hours allotment (highly customizable with focus on rolling over unused hours)
• On-demand coverage for internal resources on vacation (includes a discounted rate for knowledge transfer/onboarding)
• Pre-hire technical interview and technical vetting services

If you are looking to extend your internal engineering services due to temporary staffing shortages or unusually full engagement pipelines, please reach out. For Palo Alto-specific needs, see our Palo Alto firewall consulting; for leadership gaps, see fractional CTO services.
