5 Key Benefits of Hiring Remote Specialists for Your Business

You have a great idea. You have a vision of the impact it will have on the market. But you're intimidated by the cost and problems associated with creating a digital product based on data. Or maybe you're working on an exciting new project, with enormous implications for your organization. The concept and vision are in place, but it involves development efforts that, if not channeled well, leave your initiative out of play.

What's the answer?

Working with an appropriate remote team is the solution and now we'll tell you why.

This alternative is full of advantages that can transform the way you develop your products and bring them to the market.

Discover the 5 most important benefits of hiring remote developers and turn your idea into a product with results.

Benefit #1: Clear and Unified Methodology

Connecting with a remote development team is accessing a base of knowledge and experience. A remote team is comprised of fast learners who quickly integrate the needs, character, and identity of your organization. This can take just 1 day and makes the benefits visible in a short interval of working together.
Dan Rudigan of Atlassian highlights this key benefit, and indicates that “[remotely] distributed teams can work on projects around the clock”, providing companies with the agility needed to thrive in the modern market.

And if you think that hiring a remote team means that it will be misaligned with your internal team, or that you will have to take parallel steps to achieve the objectives, there are collaborative online platforms such as Trello, a platform that allows you to organize your projects as boards with tasks in different phases, and makes it easier for both teams to work for the same achievements. This allows us to have a unified methodology. Remote specialists are part of your team.

This method is evolutionary. Internal teams learn from remote specialists and vice versa, creating a valuable knowledge base for your business that grows organically over time.

Benefit #2: Reduced time to get results

Developing enterprise, mobile, or cloud applications and products is difficult and has obstacles. Working with remote teams reduces risk, because it ensures that you have the right members, focused on the same objective, without dispersing your internal team too much.

The modern remote development landscape is dynamic and evolving. Since the contact is in real time, difficulties are resolved to the minute. Any bureaucratic limitations that prevent the progress of a process are reduced. In other words, the time it takes to get to your results decreases and improves.

A remote development team is ideal to meet your needs in a variety of projects, from Data Lakes, DataOps and DevOps jobs in the AWS cloud and modern front-ends, to proprietary Advanced Analytics applications.

You also have access to the most competent team members for your needs, obtaining high-level professional benefits in the process.

Benefit #3: The Right Skills, at the Right Time

And how does this benefit manifest in your development and testing process? Significantly reducing the time needed to bring a product to market, and eliminating errors along the way.

Let's imagine that you are creating an application oriented to the analytical power of Big Data and that applies this power to your customers' transactions. Developing your application requires a set of specific skills that transcend the daily operation of your business.

Now let's imagine that you hire new talent and create an internal team to develop your product. When the project ends, you may not need the talent of your new employees for long, but they are still on your company's payroll. You get creative and assign them to other projects even though the result isn't what you expected. Time goes by, costs increase and business efficiency decreases.

A remote and external team, hired on a short-term basis, solves this. It allows you to have the right skills at the right time. Integrating experience in this way increases the flexibility and agility of your business in the short and long term, leaving it ready for market challenges.

Remember that it is essential to build the right type of digital infrastructure to empower this remote innovation. Applications such as Slack or Microsoft Teams they improve communication between internal and remote teams, eliminating misunderstandings or free interpretations, accelerating the incorporation process. Working with remote teams is an effective way to balance speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. Make sure your business is set up to make the most of these efforts.

Benefit #4: Save Costs

The best ideas, even those from your internal teams, don't come free.

Creating a workspace and developing the idea to a standard where it's ready to go to market costs a lot of money. But where does this cost come from?

In many cases, some of the resources come from the diversion of members of other teams to work on the project.

But what's the alternative? Stop developing your ideas? This can come at an even higher cost, and cause your business to miss out on golden opportunities to enter the market. This is one of the reasons that make remote work essential in the field of modern development.

Connecting with a remote development team reduces your costs as follows:

• More robust test procedures, reducing the need to redo and redo again: the less time your idea spends on a draft, the less expensive it will be to bring it to market. With a fresh approach and great experience, remote teams reduce errors and streamline the process.
• There is no need to expand business facilities: Incorporating new internal teams means expanding your offices, and that costs money. Remote teams collaborate and communicate digitally with your internal team, so there's no need to re-invest in physical space.
• Better time management: businesses lose a lot of money every year as a result of the time lost when employees have to physically move from their homes and return late and tired, traveling to face-to-face meetings, or lining up for lunch or going to the bank, being able to do this during times of low flow of people. With remote teams, previous risk is reduced, time is optimized and employees perform better, and most importantly, are happier.

• Simplified processes through innovation: working with a remote team means working with team members with the necessary competencies to innovate on the right solution. This means a more rational and efficient global process.
• Develop great ideas to the fullest: there's nothing worse than losing a great opportunity. With a remote team, you can explore your ideas thoroughly and make the most of the exciting new concepts and initiatives generated by your internal teams.
  

Benefit #5: Transformative Innovation

Real innovation requires a dual approach: having process excellence both in the generation of ideas and in their final execution.

Hiring a remote team will allow you to connect even more with that team's experience in helping clients build digital products and implementing innovative strategies. This could be the ingredient your company needs to transform a great idea or business project into a useful product.

Of course, you should keep both long-term and short-term goals in mind during this process. It would be better to have scalable solutions, which not only work today but also in the future. The right remote teams will be able to deliver this at a fraction of the hassle and cost of choosing to keep these things 'at home'.
