But the body rental in IT should really?
We talk about savings and cost containment, but let's think about this subject without preconceptions and with objectivity.
Cheap system
Through the body rental company has an immediate economic return on investment, pay a salary but the cost is amortized over the customer who takes his seat at the programmer, and is also an income that falls into the coffers of the company.
This, in a vision in short, can lead to a budget surplus, but in the long run there is a depletion of corporate assets in creating products, taking the space of movement work in an arena where the player who raised the hourly rate lower , with a real risk of loss of customers.
If instead we create products, compared to an immediate risk, a possibility of growth of the loyal customer base, which can not break away from the software because the application was not developed on site but at the supplier, thereby allowing the customer to have a thorough knowledge of processes and underlying systems. The individual resource will not be the sole holder of the product knowledge to offer its customers, so you will risk situations, too often seen, where customers need to take the consultant and why now is available locally for years, leaving the supplier with no plus a monthly inflow of capital from the body rental.
Crisis in the IT market
During a crisis in the market for information technology must be ensured that the working group is cohesive, feel able to overcome the situation developing. Choosing the path of body-rental you choose to surround himself with people he gives the impression of being "sides of beef" to move as needed, and to manage people so you can not ask to square at a time of difficulty business, because it will be the first to leave the cabin.
Growth and consolidation company
The goal of any business is a continuous growth in turnover, to allow this should increase the market share. But after a certain level of expansion we must also consolidate its internal structure.
Through the body rental is not built anything even remotely resembling a corporate structure: there are one or two general managers, owners / contacts, and an army of underpaid soldiers (already because with the steps suppliers are lost wage shares otherwise be used for the monthly costs of employees), ill-equipped (no training), and prepared to betray for a campaign more rewarding.
Have you ever felt that you have won a battle, or even a war, by armies brancaleone? They are ready to offer you a beer if you find one case. Of course these are double-breasted, but always armed mercenary in the pay of those who are charged, and as such can not ask for the loyalty of their small army.
Instead of organizing the structure, the changes will be better absorbed and identity in "battle" stronger.
I can already hear the pundits of marketing and project managers tell me I'm wrong, that the market demands it, I can not tell from my position as a programmer, I would respond that well:
- all these "poor" programmers had already figured out the scam subprime World when we were told that we were not savvy enough to understand the mechanisms of the global market;
- we had learned the trick of covering the game with the erosion of wages of the loan for consumption;
- it does not take a magician to understand the dynamics of a company to prosper and make it healthy through a progressive consolidation, you simply take the time to read books and articles in the field.
So do not come to preach to me you do not have the authority nor the expertise my dear yes man enslaved to the system for you to quench every day through its sources.
If you want to discuss the merits and without civilly from an ideological position, or are here for you all.
Get off the course that the 'pretty tough!
I would add that in a general market crisis, as has been happening in recent months, and with regard to the acquisition trend that is permeating the global economy, the first figures that are cut off from customers have their own consultants body rental.
And take this opportunity to put other meat on the fire: even companies that acquire such advice is really safe which is advantageous if we keep them as if they were employees and end up losing them or take them to high wages for low skilled with severe damage of operation? Never heard of training and growth?
As you can agree or not you deny the premise.
I would expect the pros and cons of different business modelii 2 (br or not).
The produce does not leave the house to know the customer does not look right. However in a future piùconsapevoli customers, ask software is based on open standards so that they can communicate easily with others and become an asset to the company and not a bottleneck. No one will have more desire to bind to a provider for life but those who choose correctly will provide better services.
Affermand conclude that in my opinion, in certain contexts the br sense (if done seriously) but not in this ocontesto how they spread today (for which I agree with you)
I would say that your analysis is very rich and accurate, and reflects both the work experience that we had together, and those - mine and others - who I met later.
Let me add one thing, and provide food for thought, changing point of view.
I am deeply convinced that in some - many - cases, the body rental company do for two main reasons. The first is that they are able to make products, or sell in a reasonable manner by managing their customer: I think that our common experience falls primarily in the second case, since the ability to think there might be.
The second reason, what I believe without a doubt the most serious and wrong, if I use the term, is that a certain type of business do not care about people: see them as a "side of beef" (as you say ... I missed a bit 'in your terminology colorful way!) on which to earn, say, 50 € a day, and download as soon as the end user does not need it most. In this sense, I assure you that our common experience is far less worse than I have seen in the following: companies without internal expertise whose sole purpose is to act as a "container" through which larger firms can manage resources in a more flexible (read insecure). In essence, professional nominee.
The starting point for consideration is this: but the body rental companies that agreed to recruit "mercenaries" external rather than internal resources to invest in?
Until next time, and thanks for the interesting issues it raises.
Thanks for the comments guys, I answer readily:
- Owo
Not to put it bluntly, I simply say where you may end up with these companies empty, or crushed by those who offer less, as the countries of emerging economies.
- Fabrizio
The formation and growth belongs to groups or companies that have a long-term vision, or three-year business plan. When you have managers who must make findings on the six months to take stock options or awards are the results.
- Roberto
eheheh you can not sell appliances and then put on an IT company
I did not mean that you have to produce on closed standards, but to create products that generate profit, surely even on open standards, because even if we replace a product from a customer we are happy to be able to communicate with its database, otherwise it is a tragedy.
Perhaps it would be better that some companies are on the market covering autoformassero
- Peter
Unfortunately Peter if you end positions in the IT market, which orbits the body rental must also reckon the servant to survive, and on this I can understand these companies, but with time you should try to reduce the workload in the body rental for consolidarti and try to move on the direct supply of products to customers, and giving birth to other jobs by this little outbreak.
But of course we talk about science fiction for a country that believes that IT is a cost and not a resource to be exploited to improve production processes internal and external.
Okay, but what I mean is that there are companies that have no interest in doing as you say, because they are born to act as nominee and as soon as there's trouble close: the owners are dedicated to other employees ... and stick!
Fully agree with everything you write.
Add that the discourse on body rental applies to other specializations in IT not only in software development. For example, advice on networking or specialized safety ...
Dadex Well of course not a seminar when I scoped me closer, but of course this applies to all professional figures, be they internal IT or headed any Business Unit business.
The chain of dealers in human flesh does not bring any benefit to the end customer who rents the "resource".
What's going on and 'there' sa fool that does the job and 3-4 bodyrentallari who eat on his shoulders.
Often to contain costs and maximize profit boys are sent with CV inflated to impersonate geeks.
At the end of the "resource" puts us face (if it proves to be incompetent because 'the BR has inflated the CV will blame him), does the work, bears the business risk (you pay at 90-120 days, if the order if it jumps back to home).
What is the body rental? Short answer: a cock.
Answer more 'long: to fatten quanche relative of any employee who works in HR or a senior executive working in companies of a certain thickness (mainly banks and telcos).
Saving? You can, you just pay the $ 300 piece of meat per day instead of paying 500 for a BR, the meat will be 'happy and will make' a better job 'cause will be able to eat bread and roast beef instead of bread and onions.
Greetings from one who thankfully has always missed the chains.
To put it as a joke probably treat all quarters of beef because in a previous work were the butchers or fishmongers, no offense to these two categories.
Thinking about it maybe because they are people who dress up companies that do not know the market dynamics and, just to get paid as underwriters of the risk of the company.
In fact I'd like to know how many years of life are able to get these companies, or the balance of closed / open yearly and so on, may serve to certain characters to where does this leave us. You know the one we've played there Olivetti.
But that bleak picture. We have no information association.
Maybe it's time to muovarsi?
Boicottiamoli ..
Greetings.
Bah REGOR I just believe in trade associations, in the sense that people often hide in search of power and place from which to fly to upgrade their knowledge for personal gains.
Anyway I think it's hard to move unless it is settled at the legislative level, meaning that if you allow only those who have some experience, certain securities and certain requirements of working in IT do not come out and continue to see that peracottai pretend consultants who can provide professional employment figures, but rather collect from the market of anyone who has basic knowledge and significant experience.
I'm not a protectionism of this market, but begin to see the professionalism and rewarded as they should not fight with some people who still do not even know the name of the programming language you are using.
Hello, Nicola
Hi,
this report for this initiative for the abolition of the project contract
http://www.petitiononline.com/cocopro/petition.html
FYI.
But the really interesting thing is that the peraccotaro knows how to win the battles because it is a fraud, a dishonest man.
Let me explain the dynamics.
A guy is better than Tom B.
Guy B is therefore the peracottaro of the situation.
B A guy pushes Tom into the well in a subtle.
A guy will make him the figure of Tom peracottare and B will enjoy the glory gained by deceit and immorality.
This is our country must take conscience of this purely comportamente mafia.
Greetings.
I apologize for typos.
But we really are at this level.
The solution to break this trend?
A guy he slams his morality and his honesty is literally out Tom B showing goats and cabbages in his total incompetence ....
The objective certainties are stronger than any mystification: the mystifying must exit the market.
Greetings.
Dear Regor,
logically should be prepared so as to reject the pitfalls of peracottaro, because if we are not able to say that we are worth much more than this sordid character. Sure there may sometimes chafe, but we can see it this way: they are experiences from which to learn to not make the same mistakes. But if I speak of the fact that the peracottaro has friendships that allow him to blow his job better people, well short of what you can do, do not you think?
The project contract is a form of speculation, beautiful and good. Take this form of contract and you will see that half of the body rental companies will go down the drain.
Most of these companies is of little or nothing, and when we say the stability of employment and delegated to a consultant who studies, learns and forms over the years with sacrifices. So dear rentallari if you want a person remains assumetela venitemi to hum and no stories I hear every conversation.
Thanks
I believe that consulting firms have always existed, and the use of matches or vat project contracts is physiologic in certain situations, the ridiculous and should be thinking is that companies that have 10 to 10 external consultants and not employed on a permanent / fixed.
On this reasoning should
