    • Lucrezia Spagnolo
      Lucrezia Spagnolo Founder & CEO at VESTA Social Innovation Technologies, Inc
      4.7

      Software Development Review from Lucrezia Spagnolo

      I met Chris in 2019 when VESTA was just an idea on paper. From the beginning, he listened, not only to what I wanted to build but to the problem I was trying to solve. As a non-technical founder, I needed a partner who would focus on outcomes, not just the jargon, and the Ollon team did exactly that. They helped me prepare our first major funding proposal and, when the grant was secured, became our technology team. Since then, I have worked with the same small and consistent group, including Nichie, Chris Elcombe, Alan, and Darin. Chris personally joined high-level security meetings, guided technical planning, and taught me how to speak confidently about our systems and privacy approach. When we secured our second round of funding, Matthew helped lead and organize the technical hiring process. The Ollon teams loyalty, responsiveness, and professionalism have been exceptional. When an issue arises, even beyond their direct scope, someone from the team steps in to help. Their commitment and care have made them feel like part of Vesta from day one. Six years later, Ollon has grown alongside us, not just as a development partner but as a genuine part of our story.

      Software Development Review from Andrew Holden

      Ollon helped us get through a challenging major backend (Rails) software upgrade. Communication included daily check ins and an active shared channel where we could easily ask questions or coordinate - no long email chains! Leadership at the company was highly responsive and organized. I recommend Ollon and will likely use them again.

      Mobile App Development Review from Jacine Greenwood

      They've delivered a completely new experience with our main products: loans, credit cards, payments, and accounts. a new customer onboarding procedure. We only published the app a week ago, and as of right now, there hasn't been any noticeable influence on NPS. But I have no doubt that it will be.

      Project is very close to launch. My entire staff/team are greatly impressed by the results thus far and we are very confident that we will launch with a very impressive-looking site with full functionality. I feel the product we take to market will greatly enhance our overall image and much of our success will be because of the product we have to offer.

      eCommerce Development Review from Christine Terrill

      We hired Selleo to do a redesign of our app. Poor communication, repeated missed timelines and a very poor quality of the small items that were delivered. Anna (Head of Business Development) ironically kept asking us if the "project was on track" and if we were "happy" with the project and despite our negative feedback did nothing to get the project back on track. We eventually fired Selleo after wasting $20k on this project. I would not recommend using Selleo.

      5.0

      Software Development Review from Rajeev Singh

      We built a very comprehensive software that was complex in nature. Ideally, this requires either thorough understanding of accounting practices or a very meticulous approach of capturing the requirement. While Finoit's team had an analyst form finance assigned, what impressed me most(Being a developer in the past myself) was the latter part i.e. their project and development team's thoughtfulness in understanding all the aspects and getting back to us with intelligent questions. Highly impressed and recommend for their software development capabilities.

      Our organization, a tech start up shares space with MG Technologies. We actually are renters. The Leadership Team at Mindgrub we consider family. What a wonderful ensemble of folks. The location is lovely, the interior is an open floor plan with considerable space engineered for meetings along with places to tuck into for invaluable peace and quiet. MindGrub has a pleasant Front Desk Coordinator who maintains shared schedules, provides true " air traffic control" of people, presents, and packages. as well as kitchens that provide abundant drinks and snacks:) It feels very much like home. Our experience has been positive and look forward to partnering with MG Technologies for years to come. #grateful

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Staff Augmentation Companies

What services do staff augmentation firms typically provide?

Staff augmentation firms provide a range of talent solutions depending on their area of specialization. Here are some of the most common staff augmentation services: 

  • IT staff augmentation: UI/UX designers, software developers, mobile app developers, data analysts, QA testers, cybersecurity specialists, and DevOps engineers 
  • Finance and accounting staffing: Bookkeepers, accountants, financial analysts, and compliance professionals 
  • Creative and marketing staffing: Content writers, graphic designers, social media managers, and performance marketers 
  • Manufacturing and operations staffing: Industrial engineers, quality control inspectors, and supply chain analysts 

Some staff augmentation services also cover strategy consulting or fractional leadership support, such as CFOs, CTOs, or senior operations and manufacturing consultants. 

What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?

Staff augmentation involves temporarily hiring external skilled professionals to expand your internal team's capacity. These professionals work alongside your in-house staff, follow your processes, and are managed directly by your team. 

Because of this team augmentation, you have more direct control over day-to-day execution, workflows, and priorities while scaling faster. 

Outsourcing, by contrast, involves hiring an external vendor to handle an entire project or business function. In this model, the vendor usually manages the team, processes, and delivery, while your company oversees results and business goals. 

Outsourcing is often a better fit for clearly defined projects or ongoing functions. For example, a company might outsource mobile app development for a food delivery solution to an external custom software development company. 

In short, staff augmentation scales your team, while outsourcing scales your operations as a whole. 

What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?

Staff augmentation entails hiring external professionals to fill a skill gap or expand internal team capacity in areas such as your engineering team, marketing team, or HR department. These skilled professionals work as an extension of your dedicated team and follow your company's processes, tools, and management structure.  

On the other hand, managed services involve outsourcing a specific function to a third-party provider that is responsible for delivering and managing that service. This model is especially common in IT, where a provider might take ownership of functions such as cybersecurity, custom software development, or help desk support using its own processes, tools, and service standards.  

The key difference is control: with staff augmentation, you manage the people; with managed services, the provider manages the function. 

When should you hire a staff augmentation company instead of a full-time employee?

The right choice depends on your hiring timeline, budget, need for specialized skills, and whether the role is temporary or long-term. 

Consider hiring a staff augmentation company if: 

  • You need to scale your team quickly based on seasonal demand, project spikes, or changing workloads. 
  • You need specialized expertise that is not available in-house or is difficult to hire locally. 
  • You want more staffing flexibility without making a long-term hiring commitment. 
  • You need support for a defined project or short- to mid-term initiative. 

Consider hiring a full-time employee if: 

  • You need someone in a permanent role with long-term ownership and continuity. 
  • The role requires deep knowledge of your brand, internal culture, or business context. 
  • The position involves highly sensitive responsibilities that require close internal oversight. 

How long does the typical onboarding process take for augmented staff?

Typically, the onboarding process for augmented staff takes 90 days. However, some companies offer 14 days, while others may require 6 months. 

The actual timeline will depend on the role, level of seniority, and complexity of your systems and processes. 

In many cases, initial onboarding can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, full ramp-up may take longer, especially for highly specialized or leadership roles. 

For instance, a junior bookkeeper may only need 7-14 days for onboarding. By contrast, a senior finance consultant or CFO-level advisor working with proprietary systems and cross-functional processes may need several weeks or even a few months to fully ramp up.
