Setting Up Remote Teams for a Microsoft Partner

30 MAR 2020

The Client

A mid-sized Microsoft Partner company providing consulting, development, migration and support services around Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, Azure, Power BI, and other Microsoft technology platforms.

The Need

The client wanted to ramp up their teams with expert skills and minimal cost with remote resources for development and consulting projects around SharePoint development & migration, Power BI development, Exchange migration and server setups, Project Server implementations, Azure functions, PowerApps, and Forms development.

The Challenge

There were new projects coming up almost every two weeks and the client had to hire developers externally for timely project completion and delivery. The client realized that finding and hiring skilled resources for every new project was a time-consuming and costly process and thus shifted their focus towards hiring remote teams.

The Solution

Star Knowledge with its expertise in setting up virtual teams with certified and highly experienced remote developers helped the company to build a team of 20-25 full-time remote resources within one year.

Star Knowledge organized resources for Microsoft technologies, as required by the client, in a span of 2-3 days and built a team of 3-4 members around each technology within a week’s time.

Skilled resources were also made available on-demand to help them accelerate, adapt, and scale. Star Knowledge became an extended arm and the client could set up their offshore development center within a very short period of time under the targeted budget.
