When it comes to tackling complex and challenging technology projects, it can be advantageous for organizations to seek outside expertise. Our 2025 State of Business-Driven Technology Report finds that hybrid implementation models lead to success. Surveyed business leaders report that they prefer to supplement internal teams with the expertise of outside technology consultants. Why are business and technology leaders finding success with this approach? Read on to learn more about how a hybrid approach might be the best solution to your technology problem.
Flexibility To Meet Specific Business Needs
Hybrid implementation models are ideal for short-term projects, such as launching a new website or migrating to a new platform. Working with technology consultants enables organizations to access specialized technology expertise without the long-term commitment. By marrying outside technology expertise with in-house historical and in-depth knowledge of backend processes, businesses can efficiently tackle unique technology challenges. After a project is successfully completed, technology consultants can be brought back in as needed when future challenges arise.
Creative Ways To Reduce Costs
As budgets fluctuate and needs change, technology consultants have the capacity to scale up or down while prioritizing cost effectiveness. Technology consultancies that specialize in agility and flexibility, like Xcelacore, can work with businesses to find creative and budget-conscious solutions. Whether that means finding ways to tackle a project with a finite set of resources, helping organizations locate inefficiencies or duplicative efforts within existing systems and tools, or implementing technology that will help in-house teams work more efficiently. Businesses can rely on technology consultants to fill in gaps only where needed and when needed—giving them more control over spend and waste.
