      Web Development Review from Tifiny Swedensky

      Agency Partner built us a pretty website... but it was slow and not technically optimized for SEO. The backend was very buggy, with many "useless" sections in the WordPress dashboard. I am a WordPress developer, but I am also the company's marketing director so we chose to have the site developed by an outside company. I spent approximately 20 hours working on the backend removing useless "features" and optimizing the site to pass the Core Web Vitals. It should've been a huge red flag when the company wouldn't show us the backend before launch. Additionally, when they launched the site they "no-indexed" the entire website! Recently, I sent a ticket to support to fix 404 pages. After getting no response for several days, I went into the site and fixed the error myself. They had the audacity to send me a "we fixed the error" email 24 hours after we fixed the issues ourselves! If you are looking for a well-built site, look elsewhere. This company is only good for pretty site that loads slow and is bogged down with junk. The company reached out and heard my complaints. There's not a lot they can do to make this right (since most of the work they left undone was finished by me), but at least they listened. They extended our site warranty to help fix any outstanding issues. I'm adjusting my rating to three-stars.

      Great service, fast and friendly. They were referred to me by a business colleague. I used their graphic design service to do my logo. I had a design that I created and wanted them to replicate. They also provided several other options for me to consider & compare. The turn-around time for them to complete was fast, just a couple of days. Will definitely have them assist on my web page

She possesses a deep knowledge of the technical sector and works with a network of well-qualified individuals. Overall, was very engaging, friendly, and dependable. She fully understood our needs and successfully identified candidates that fit our company values. I was particularly impressed by her pre-screening skills.

      Chariot Creative were incredible to work with. Our project development team was not familiar with building websites and Chariot Creative led us patiently by the hand through the entire process. They took our ideas, concepts and content needs and crafted the perfect website-based tool for us and our stakeholders. When we showed the results to our stakeholders around the coastal US, the consistent feedback was how beautiful and engaging the website was - which was critical for the success of our project. Chariot Creative were receptive to our crazy ideas and suggestions ("Is this even possible?") and were able to translate them into reality ("Sure, this is how it would look..."). Then, they even helped design the social marketing strategy for our project. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone needing anything web design, social marketing, SE), etc. They were a pleasure to work with.

      Jason and his team are the best in the biz! We weren't sure what to expect going into this process since we had never worked with a company like Chariot before. Jason and his team made the process painless and never once made us feel like we were asking too many questions or that our questions were dumb. They were patient, kind, professional and above all else they are masters at their craft, the proof is in our new logo design and website. The feedback from our clients has been nothing but positive and we can't wait to see what the new year brings with Chariot having our backs with the ongoing website maintenance plan. They really have given us the ability to take our small business to the next level and for that we are grateful.

      We have been working with Invenio IT for about 7 years now. They support of Datto backup system and their support is nothing but the best. They have been great helping set everything up and since then, we just monitor the backups and really have nothing to do as it has been running flawlessly. We an rare issue do occur, I can contact Dale at anytime (I mean anytime, he had answer the phone like 2 am) and he will help in anything I need, whether to spin up a virtual server when one of our production server goes down or we get an error on one of the backups and he looks into it and either resolve it or give us the solution to resolve it. Also, when we needed to upgrade our Datto system, they really go out of their way to give you the best deal which should have cost us a lot but Dale came through and we have been backing up flawlessly. Overall, Invenio IT has great support and always there when you need them. I will recommend them to anyone and I will take them anywhere I go. Thank you Invenio IT, especially to Dale Shulmistra!

5 Frequently Asked Questions About IT Outsourcing Companies

What services do IT outsourcing firms provide?

IT outsourcing companies provide on-demand services for network security, infrastructure management, disaster recovery, cloud services, data storage, general technical support, and sometimes, software development.

What are the different types of IT outsourcing?

  • Nearshore outsourcing: Sending IT-related work to a company that shares a similar time zone or is geographically close. 
  • Onshore outsourcing: Outsourcing a third-party service provider located in the same country.  

Model-based IT outsourcing 

  • Staff augmentation: Hiring external IT specialists to join the in-house team temporarily and fill skill gaps without full recruitment. 
  • Dedicated team: Assigning a dedicated team that works exclusively for the contracting company. 
  • Managed services: Contracting a third-party company to provide network management services including call centers, network monitoring, and more. 

How much do IT outsourcing service providers charge for their services?

What is the difference between IT consulting and IT outsourcing?

In simple terms, the difference between IT consulting and IT outsourcing is that consulting helps you decide what needs to be done, while IT outsourcing companies do it for you

An IT consulting firm studies the IT infrastructure, identifies problems, checks for vulnerabilities, and recommends what systems, tools, or processes you should use. By contrast, an IT outsourcing company takes over specific work, such as managing infrastructure, maintaining software, handling support, or running day-to-day IT operations. 

What industries hire most IT outsourcing firms?

The BSFI (banking, financial services, and insurance) sector outsources IT services the most. The majority of institutions in this vertical have a dedicated IT outsourcing firm that handles their software and cloud maintenance.  

Following as a close second are healthcare, retail, and eCommerce verticals. Businesses across these sectors hire IT specialists to accelerate their omnichannel, mobile, and personalization initiatives.
