Whereas, when you pick the outsourcing model, they typically take on a project from start to finish. They do not use your internal staff or resources. Moreover, you are typically not looking to recruit for a position to fulfill particular skills.

When you use staff augmentation, temporary workers blend with your internal team. Moreover, they learn your company culture and interact with management. They are meant to improve and empower your existing team.

While outsourcing team does not blend with your company at all. Outsourcing is an independent team along with management. Moreover, all organization, communication, management, and procedures happen externally and may or may not be consulted with you, the client. You will be only contacted on a decision-making basis, such as when it’s time to turn over the project and give final feedback.

Let us debunk a myth about staff augmentation, that new team members do not require onboarding. They still require onboarding, just like any new hire. They need an introduction to company culture along with communication and organization processes. The onboarding process is accelerated. However, new members they may not require machine learning, because they are experts in their tech stack.

Outsourcing teams, typically, have a discovery period. This where they will run their own investigations to learn what your project requires. They do not need to be trained by your team or monitored by your project managers. They have their own internal processes, that are generally of no concern to you.
