Software Development Review from Anonymous
We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

Elliot Jacobs's Review Sourced from Google
We run a SaaS platform for PR reporting. It’s our first time working with an external development team after years of in-house. We made the shift to get more flexibility and to have dedicated capacity for building out a suite of new features on top of our product.The work is R&D by nature, so specs change, and priorities shift. Clockwise Software has always been flexible about that and scaled up when we needed more people involved. What else stood out is the team's experience. Our codebase spans multiple services with a fair amount of legacy code. They have people who've clearly worked across different codebases before, and it showed in how quickly they got productive.Our engagement is ongoing. We launched the new features, ran a beta, and opened it up to the full market. ARPC has increased since launch, a clear sign to us that the work landed well with customers.
Lukas Nchimbi's Review Sourced from Google
Hired them to build an AI feature on top of our internal system, basically an assistant so our team could ask questions and get info from our data instead of digging through it manually. Took about 8 weeks. Works exactly how we needed it to. Their team was upfront about the limitations early, which I actually respected.

As our product grew, managing our systems became more and more challenging.

They took the time to carefully review everything we were using, explained what was breaking and why in a way that was easy to understand, and guided us through setting up better processes. They didn’t just fix problems, they showed us how to make the system stronger so we wouldn’t keep running into the same issues again.Since partnering with them, our platform runs smoothly and our team feels far more confident.

We needed a custom software solution tailored specifically to our business operations, and finding the right software development partner was a crucial decision.

From the beginning, the InnovationM team demonstrated a deep understanding of our business challenges. They took the time to analyze our workflows and proposed a solution that was both practical and future-ready. Their structured approach gave us confidence in their capabilities.The final software solution was reliable, efficient, and perfectly aligned with our needs.

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
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

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.
