Why Hire WSI?

Why Hire Winning Solutions, Inc. (WSI) for Your Software Development Needs?

When planning a software development project, organizations often face the critical decision of whether to hire full-time employees, contract developers, or engage with a professional development company like Winning Solutions, Inc. (WSI). Understanding the long-term implications of each option is essential to making a cost-effective and productive choice.

Option 1: Hiring Full-Time Employees

Many businesses and government agencies have found that hiring full-time employees to develop, design, and test software may not be the most cost-effective or strategic decision. Here are some of the challenges organizations face with this approach:

  • Software projects are often short-term, making layoffs after project completion challenging and costly.
  • Attracting and retaining top-tier software professionals as full-time staff can be difficult.
  • After project completion, programmers are often uninterested in transitioning into unrelated roles.
  • Delays in development due to shifting specifications can result in costly idle time for full-time staff.
  • Internal teams may lack specific skill sets, leaving critical gaps that affect the project's success.

Option 2: Hiring Contractors

To resolve these issues, many organizations opt to hire software contractors. While this can mitigate some challenges, it introduces its own set of concerns:

  • Contractors reduce the burden of permanent employment and often bring specialized talent.
  • However, project gaps caused by changing specifications still lead to expensive downtime.
  • Contractors may lack key skill sets despite claiming otherwise, resulting in costly on-the-job learning.

Additionally, hiring contractors may result in new problems such as:

  • Limited availability for long-term maintenance or support post-deployment.
  • Inconsistent adherence to development standards and documentation procedures, increasing future rework.
