The aim of this project was to create an internal corporate system designed to automate and manage various operational processes within our organization.

Mobile App Development Review from Karan Magu
It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Sunny and his team at Quokka these past couple of years on myweb - an interface for organizing personal digital activity. Couldn't have chosen a better technical partner to bring my vision to life. This compact yet extremely capable team are the ones who transformed a mere sketch on a piece of paper into a proper and performant software, which I would say works as well as any global software you may have installed on your device (often created by large venture funded team of engineers). I found Sunny after having a poor experience with the quality produced by a previous software development firm, and was instantly convinced by his professionalism and intelligence. I've worked with the team across multiple domains - whether it's iOS Swift and working on a complex share extension for iphones, or Kotlin for Android, or backend work for syncing data, or making a desktop client, even UI/UX design - and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a transparent, trustworthy and capable young team in the realm of software dev. One thing I really appreciated is the regular updates and check ins from their end at each step of the journey, which keeps things clear and transparent.

Everything you need to know before you hire an IT outsourcing services company
Why can an IT outsourcing company do for my business?
Cost effectiveness and access to modern technological advancements are the main advantages in favor of IT outsourcing.
Businesses outsource different IT services so they can dedicate themselves to other commercial operations, mitigate operational risk, accelerate time-to-market, amplify internal capabilities, and bridge any technical gaps.
Notably, more than 78% of executives are willing to hire an IT outsourcing firm, mainly because it grants technical resilience that a small in-house team simply can't match.
These specialists can also help your future-proof your infrastructure.
Beyond fixing underperforming areas, a good partner can guide you through digital transformation, so your operations become more agile.
Notably, in 2025, 67% of executives raised their budgets for operated services, 57% for managed services, and 32% for traditional outsourcing.
What common IT outsourcing mistakes should I avoid?
Outsourcing is a good way to augment your internal capabilities, but it can stall when the setup is rushed or poorly defined. Here are a few common pitfalls to keep an eye out for when considering hiring IT outsourcing companies:
- Insufficient vendor research: Choosing a partner based on price alone without verifying their technical track record.
- Unclear objectives: Ill-defined goals and requirements will inevitably lead to mismatched expectations and scope creep.
- Missing contractual details: Skipping over specific terms regarding intellectual property, security protocols, and dispute resolution in the final agreement.
- Poor communication: Receiving ad-hoc updates instead of regular check-ins to maintain coordination between teams.
- Ignoring cultural and time zone differences: Underestimating how differing work cultures and time zone differences can disrupt daily workflows and productivity.
- Over-reliance on the vendor: Losing all internal expertise on critical operations will leave your business vulnerable if the partnership dissolves.
How to choose the best IT outsourcing company for my business?
To select the best IT outsourcing firm for your business, you should consider some of the following things:
- Outline your requirements
Having a defined set of requirements will hasten the search for an IT outsourcing company and will prevent unexpected costs. - Compare vendors
Rsearch multiple vendors so you can compare their technical capabilities, service extent, and cost-to-quality offering. - Consider offshore options
For tasks that don’t require much time zone alignment, you can consider an IT outsourcing company from different regions. - Check client reviews
Read the firms’ reviews on third party sites like Google and DesignRush to get a better sense of the service quality and reliability they can deliver. - Negotiate volume discounts
If you are looking to ousource IT specialists for multiple IT operations, you may be eligible for a discount based on contract and engagement volume.
How to find a specialist on DesignRush that fits my budget?
We prepared a list of IT outsourcing companies in different price points to help you find a vendor that meets your spending expectations:
| High budget: $50,0000 |
|
| Low budget: $25,000 to $50,000 |
|
Beyond budget, our DesignRush directory allows you to filter IT outsourcing firms by hourly rate, reviews, service type, location, team size, and more.
What questions should I ask an IT outsourcing services company before signing a contract?
Consider asking some of the following questions before signing a contract with an IT outsourcing company to determine if the candidate is a good fit:
Relevant Background
- How long have you been in business?
- Which areas in IT are outside your scope of expertise?
- Have you worked on similar projects in the past?
- Have you worked with clients within the same industry as ours?
Services and Processes
- What are your on-site and off-site services?
- Can you walk me through your discovery process?
- Which compliance frameworks do you support?
- What are your security and privacy policies?
- What is your disaster recovery and business continuity plan?
Related to Your Project
- Based on our current networks and systems, plus our requirements, which new hardware and software do you recommend?
- What automation processes do you think we should implement?
- How do we escalate high-priority issues? Who will respond to these and how fast can we get a response?
- Do we get around-the-clock client support?
- What is your pricing structure? What does it include?
Sources

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. The service entails hiring an external managed service provider (MSP) to handle various IT-related tasks and operate as an extension to the in-house team.
The following IT services are commonly outsourced:
- Technical support
- Data security (security audits, malware protection, data backup and recovery)
- Tech infrastructure planning
- Helpdesk
- Application, software, database, and custom platform development
- Network management
- Web development/web hosting
- Telecommunications
- Infrastructure – hardware, software, network installation and support
- Data center management
- Data storage
What are the different types of IT outsourcing?
When considering IT outsourcing service providers, businesses can choose based on location or collaborating model.
Location-based IT outsourcing
- Offshore outsourcing: Relaying IT tasks to IT providers in distant countries to take advantage of lower labor costs.
- 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?
IT outsourcing service providers charge from $15 to $200+ per hour, depending on the services and the provider's location. When considering the cost-to-quality-ratio, businesses commonly hire Eastern European IT outsourcing firms, particularly from Poland, Lithuania, Romania, and Bulgaria. Here’s how other regions compare:
| Region | Average hourly rate |
| North America | $100 to $200 |
| Western Europe | $80 to $150 |
| Eastern Europe | $30 to $70 |
| South Asia | $20 to $50 |
| Southeast Asia | $15 to $40 |
| Latin America | $25 to $60 |
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.
