What IT staff augmentation services include
These services supply specialists who join your team under your management. The provider recruits and employs them. You plan their work, run their standups, review their output and handle performance and replacements.
It’s a good fit when you have a clear skill gap and a lead with time to direct someone. When your leads are already busy, the management load is the part to look at closely.
What staff augmentation leaves out
Management included. Planning, quality and reporting run through an Azendo service delivery manager.
Product knowledge that stays. The same specialists stay on your roadmap for years, and our specialists stay with Azendo for 3.3 years on average.
One fixed monthly fee. The same figure every month, with no surprise invoices in a busy one.
Growth without extra overhead. A second specialist doesn’t mean a second person for you to manage.
When you need a full team, a dedicated software development team is the setup that fits.

The full comparison of the two models is in staff augmentation vs managed services.
How the fee works
You pay one fixed monthly fee for a committed monthly capacity in hours. The fee stays the same in August and at Christmas, so budgeting is simple.
If you’re comparing suppliers, the differences between a staff augmentation agency, a marketplace and a managed partner matter more than the day rate.
