How to grow SDaaS teams that set businesses apart with apprenticeships

Software Development as a Service (SDaaS) are dedicated software development teams. They are ‘dedicated’ because they focus on one business project at a time. This service is offered by software development companies that focus on building partnerships with their clients.

Who needs SDaaS teams?

Many businesses with in-house IT departments ensure technology is working. However, web development, mobile application development and machine learning models require software engineering skills.

The enterprise software market often exceeds 10% year-on-year growth and is the fasted growing segment in the IT industry. A survey by DDIY, shows 84.7% of businesses from the software industry develop enterprise applications for clients.[1] Highlighting the demand for software engineering skills.

For businesses with a tight budget, they can outsource SDaaS teams to access software engineering skills. These skills will improve customer experiences, bring innovative products to market, implement new revenue, and reduce software development costs across the software development lifecycle.

Software development time and costs

There are costs at every stage of the software development lifecycle because each stage requires software engineering skills to complete the lifecycle.

Software development companies need a strategy to affordably introduce and grow software skills to offer a service that saves money and time for their clients.

When businesses outsource to software development companies, they save recruitment costs and time by investing in software engineering skills that deliver excellent results. On average, custom software development takes 4.5 months.[2] So the more time saved, the better time will be spent on software development for businesses.

‘Clients and businesses will scale SaaS together.’

SDaaS teams save businesses time and money and give them access to innovative software development that sets them apart.

Therefore, clients and businesses will scale SaaS together. Plugging multi-faceted skill gaps across businesses and sectors.

Our software engineering apprenticeships give software development companies the opportunity to introduce and grow software engineering skills from level 3 to level 6. As a result, they’ll expand their SDaaS teams, service, number of clients and client base.
