As recent studies show, one of the biggest issues preventing many companies in the United States from completing their software development goals and/or undergoing successful digital transformation is the lack of domestic tech talent.

The direct outcome of talent shortage, a lack of domestic expertise, is also hindering the growth of many Texan industries, from IT to fintech to eCommerce.

Companies in Austin that can attract and hire the right software development talent for their mainstream or cutting-edge projects are facing another issue a very high cost of internal talent and tech resources. To date, Austin alone has over 6,000 tech vacancies that have remained unfilled for months.

According to Indeed.com, the average annual mid-level software developer salary in Austin ranges between $100, 000 and $120,000, with the average time to hire far exceeding 50 days!

While well-established brands can afford to hire rare and expensive talent locally, many SMBs and startups are often pressured by investors to save software development costs and do more for less.

With these issues in mind, 8allocate, an Estonia-based custom software development provider with 2 R&D Centers in Ukraine, comes to Austin to explore the market and help local small, medium and startup businesses bridge talent gaps and optimize software development budgets to enable more effective digital transformation, improve software delivery to end-users, and jump fast on technology bandwagon.

8allocate invites local SMBs in Austin and Texas, in general, to leverage offshore staff augmentation and R&D outsourcing solutions and gain quick access to untapped pools of affordable yet highly-qualified tech talent outside of the Lone State. The value proposition consists of a range of software team augmentation services that can satisfy any company's short-term (tactical) and long-term (strategic) software development needs.

This value proposition is perfectly suited for ompanies that are looking to augment their existing software teams with ad-hoc resources at peak times, companies that are pressured to lower down software development budgets or do more dev work for less money, companies looking to significantly increase time to hire and time to market as well as companies that want to establish a standalone tech department offshore to save costs and access appropriate 3rd party expertise.

8allocate's CEO Vlad Potapenko will be visiting Austin and other cities in Texas in September and October to share with local businesses success stories of the outsourced R&D and team augmentation, and answer their most burning questions about custom software development and Outsourcing 4.0.
