Succinct Quality Engineering collaborates and outsources to a large number of preferred, accredited professional and technical personnel with whom we have Service Level Agreements, Consortium Agreements and Non Disclosure Agreements as needed in order to facilitate all projects within the scope of business as outlined herein.

BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING:Cost flexibility, as it is easier to increase or decrease the cost, according to the needs. This is particularly important in volatile times, when demand can go up or down very quickly, and consequently organizations are generally more cautious in employing new people.

Higher level of objectivity. An outside person is less likely to fall under the influence of office politics and may bring an independent and more objective view of what is better for the organization. The lack of those blind spots, that each organi-zation inevitably possesses, enables decisions that bring more value to the organization.

More authoritative position of an outside expert. A specialist from outside is sometimes viewed as a kind of a know-it-all superman (sometimes not justifiably ;-)), so in such cases people within organization can be more inclined to agree with a course of action suggested by an outside expert than with one suggested by their colleague from within the organization. With time this bias tends to fade away as the more realistic view sets in.

Experiences are brought from outside and they benefit the organization. External experts usually work simultaneously on other projects not related to this company and they bring these experiences with them. This is not about intellectual capital being stolen, of course. It is about learning from other areas and applying these lessons within our company.

Possibility to negotiate with more providers. Competition is a good thing. When there are more providers to choose from, they try harder, and they work on improving their practice. Companies can benefit from this by applying sound procurement procedures.

Exposure to newer methodologies being used by an outside specialist. External specialists tend to invest more into specific project management research, new technologies and methodologies. Companies benefit from this without the need to invest as much themselves.

Generally lower cost levels. Employment costs of professional personnel are generally not in the lower categories. And it seems that they are on the rise even when economy is going down, due to demand on the job market which continues to rise.
