Consultancy Firm, Freelancer, or Internal Team?

Introducing a Fourth Alternative for Business Transformation Solutions

When an organization seeks a Business Transformation solution, the traditional options have been to: 1) assemble an internal team, 2) engage a consultancy firm, or 3) hire freelancers. Each of these paths has its own set of advantages and drawbacks. However, we believe there’s room for a new approach. We aim to become the fourth path, combining the best aspects of the traditional options while mitigating their downsides.

Traditional Consultancy Firms - Engaging consultancy firms can be incredibly expensive. We have seen instances where firms charge a staggering €30,000 just for implementing and setting up PowerBI, excluding maintenance. With the average hourly rate hovering around €150, the costs can quickly spiral out of control. Moreover, the uncertainty regarding the total number of hours needed adds an extra layer of financial unpredictability.

Assemble an Internal Team - Building an in-house team is an alternative, but it doesn’t come cheap either. Hiring technically skilled individuals can easily cost upwards of €60,000 per person annually. You might need a diverse team including a DevOps specialist, a software developer, and a data engineer or data scientist. While they may not be needed full time, having them available for emergencies is crucial.

Engage Freelancers - Freelancers might seem like a cost-effective solution, but there are caveats. The nature of software is ever-changing, and reliance on freelancers can be risky. Their availability might not always sync with your business needs; they might be on vacation, or handling multiple projects. This can work for less critical operations, but for pivotal business tools, this gamble might not be worth it.
