Why use a consulting firm?

When beginning a new software project or scaling an existing team, managers often face a critical decision: continue building out their in-house team, hire freelancers, or partner with a consulting firm. At PivotPoint, we believe consulting firms hold unique advantages that make them the perfect fit for most needs.

The value of consultants

Consulting firms bring a blend of expertise, flexibility, and strategic insight that’s hard to match. Often, consultant teams come from varied backgrounds, enabling us to provide comprehensive solutions that address both technical and business challenges. At PivotPoint, we think our value largely boils down to three key advantages:

1. Specialized expertise

• Deep technical skills: Our consultants bring years of experience with modern technologies and tools, like Angular, TypeScript, and C#, ensuring high-quality, modern solutions.
• Cross-industry insights: We’ve worked on projects from e-commerce to enterprise apps, applying best practices to your unique context.
• Rapid problem-solving: With a wealth of past projects, we bypass common pitfalls, delivering results faster than an in-house team building expertise from scratch.

2. Flexibility and scalability

Unlike in-house teams, which require long-term commitments, or freelancers, who may lack coordination, consulting firms offer unparalleled flexibility. PivotPoint adapts to your project’s needs, providing:

• On-demand scaling: Need a small team for a prototype or a larger crew for a full-scale rollout? We adjust our resources to match your timeline and scope.
• Diverse skill sets: From frontend developers to DevOps specialists, we provide the right expertise at the right time, without you managing multiple freelancers.
• Project-based engagement: Engage us for a specific milestone or a long-term partnership, with no obligation to maintain permanent staff.

3. Cost-effectiveness and reduced risk

Building an in-house team or juggling freelancers can be expensive and risky, with costs like recruitment, training, and churn adding up. Consulting firms mitigate these challenges, offering:

• Predictable budgeting: We scope projects upfront, providing clear cost estimates without hidden fees, unlike the unpredictable expenses of hiring or freelancer turnover.
• Minimized risk: Our proven methodologies reduce the likelihood of delays or technical debt.
• Maximized ROI: By delivering high-quality results quickly, we ensure your investment yields tangible outcomes, whether it’s a faster time-to-market or a polished product.

When to choose a consulting firm

Consulting firms are ideal for:

• Complex projects: Building an MVP, automating repetitive tasks, or trying to deliver a final product? We bring the expertise to execute flawlessly.
• Tight deadlines: Our experienced team hits the ground running to meet aggressive schedules.
• Strategic needs: Beyond coding, we offer guidance on branding, architecture, scalability, and performance.
