Dedicated Teams vs. Project-Based Outsourcing

At Keplercode, we offer both Dedicated Team and Project-Based Outsourcing models to cater to diverse client needs. Understanding the differences between these two approaches can help you choose the best fit for your business. 
Let's compare these models across several key factors:

1. Engagement Model

  • Long-term engagement
  • Short to medium-term engagement
  • Team works exclusively for your company
  • Team works on specific, predefined projects
  • Integrates deeply with your internal processes
  • Follows a more independent workflow

2. Flexibility and Scalability

Dedicated TeamsProject-Based Outsourcing
  • Highly flexible, can adapt to changing requirements
  • Less flexible once project scope is defined
  • Easy to scale up or down based on needs
  • Scaling may require contract renegotiation
  • Ideal for evolving projects or ongoing development
  • Better for well-defined projects with clear endpoints

3. Cost Structure

  • Fixed price or time-and-materials billing
