Staff Augmentation
We recognize your need for just-in-time access to the best available
talent. We also know that there is typically no time for training
and the cost must fit your budget. Access top talent and maximize
your technology staffing costs with experienced consultants from
The SURVIS Group - one of the nations largest WBE firms.
Whether you are in need of a highly experienced Project Manager
or a skilled Java Developer, The SURVIS Group provides the skilled
applications contractors you need for all phases of the software
development life cycle. Our team of dedicated professionals are
not only experienced in the specific technologies, but are also
experienced in individual industries to respond to the unique needs
of your business.
When you choose an hourly consultant over other solutions like
outsourcing, offshoring, or a solution from your internal HR team,
you expect that hiring a consultant will provide multiple advantages.
Your expectations should include:
- A time savings on the front end
- A consultant that has a proven background in the skills you
currently need
- A vendor that is knowledgeable and easy to work with
- A cost that provides you with a fair ROI
Your expectations aren’t consistently met by your existing
vendor, but you haven’t set up a benchmarking system to identify
where they are falling short in meeting your ROI requirements. You
say to yourself, there is less pain in working through the issues
with my existing vendor than to review another vendor and their
qualifications. Typical results of this situation include:
- Your project runs behind schedule
- More time than necessary is spent on handling skill set or cultural
issues from your contractors
- Issue avoidance regarding your vendor begins takes its toll
on the productivity of your team
- You’re in damage control mode, forced to make uncomfortable
changes to your project plan
Maybe it is time to take a look at the most important qualifications
of a staff augmentation vendor and build an additional relationship
while you have the opportunity.
We asked our clients what makes us the best choice.
The answers they gave fit into four key areas of differentiation
that are listed below.
Pricing
We conduct extensive research to monitor current market rates for
IT consultants. We also subscribe to industry publications that
provide the average billing rates for hundreds of skills within
IT. Because you lack the time to ensure that you are getting a fair
return on your investment, you may worry that you are being taken
advantage of when discussing the costs associated with consultants.
We know what is fair and equitable, and will not exceed that mark.
The benefit to you is that you will not have to be concerned about
our costs in comparison to other vendors.
Recruiting Methodology
We hire to our internal bench using the number one recruiting methodology
in the human resources industry. We use the same methodology for
consultants that we hire to work at your location. If you can define
and share the project objective, scope, desired schedule, project
organization, job description, and culture, then we WILL find candidates
that are qualified to meet your specifications. The benefit for
you is that there is a much higher probability that the consultant
chosen by us for your project is the RIGHT one. For additional information,
review the section on our recruiting methodology.
Flexibility
Our customers tell us we're flexible and easy to work with. That
is because we listen and put your requirements first. We don’t
push a particular technology or try and put a consultant in that
helps us and not you. Our intense focus on responsiveness to your
changing project demands and drive to exceed your expectations is
also critical to this element of The SURVIS Group’s personality.
Knowledgeable Team
The SURVIS Group is led by a knowledgeable team of professionals
with many years of experience. Our Business Development
team has an average of twenty years of tremendous individual expertise
in Data Management, ERP, Networking Services, and Software Development.
Turn our knowledge into your strength. You will be empowered with
the ability to increase and enhance the business opportunities for
your organization.

“The SURVIS Group has been a preferred vendor of ours

while servicing such a diverse corporation as ours, is because they
have been able to adapt to our changing priorities with ease. They
are nice people, easy to work with, and I trust them.”

holding company in the United States and worldwide, with a former
corporate and current regional location in Atlanta, GA.

filled, but what I was trying to accomplish with my entire IT department.
My time is precious, and it is invaluable to work with someone who
provides staff aug services that actually gets what is going on
in IT.”
