Umbrella Services, Onshore, Nearshore, Offshore, BodyLeasing... Do you understand the different types of IT outsourcing? In recent years, it has become an essential tool for companies of all sizes. Whether it's reducing the costs associated with finding new team members, the speed at which you can acquire a new IT specialist, or their special technological skills that you need. IT outsourcing can help you with all of this. Let's take a look at the different types of IT specialist outsourcing to make it clear.
IT Outsourcing
-
Expanding the team or delivering a whole team without managerial responsibility
An IT outsourcing provider acts as a supplier of human resources, with the client being responsible for their job content and management. Differences between suppliers of IT experts are often significant, so it's good to find out in advance how, for example, they take care of IT experts even after they deliver them to the client, whether they regularly seek feedback from both sides, or whether they can find truly relevant candidates.
-
Delivering a whole team including managerial responsibility
The client outsources a certain relatively independent part of the project to an entire external team, which also takes over responsibility for the delivered results. The contract may include the supplier's commitments to rotate potential roles in the team, to deliver a quality solution, etc.

Umbrella Services (“SysteUmbrella”)
Searching for and delivering IT specialists by the supplier is not required here. The client hands over their people to the supplier, who takes care of them administratively. This service provides comprehensive support for IT specialists (self-employed, contractors, freelancers) working on a project at the customer's site. The support covers administrative, legal, and financial aspects of their work, allowing IT managers in the company to focus on development and smooth project operations.
What do we offer within Systeum Umbrella Services?
Simplification of administration
The client is relieved of the complexities arising from contractual relationships with individual freelancers. We take over the administrative burden, including contracts, invoicing, and tax payments. We also take care of contract addendums, their updates in line with new laws, or advise IT specialists on taxes and accounting. We also have experience with IT specialists from abroad.
Reducing legal risk
We ensure that all contracts, invoicing, and compliance with labor and tax regulations are in accordance with current laws and regulations.
Cost savings
We reduce expenses associated with HR, legal advice, and administration.

What other divisions of IT outsourcing can you encounter?
-
FULL IT OUTSOURCING (Fully Managed Outsourcing Model)
Full IT outsourcing involves transferring all IT activities and responsibilities to an external service provider. The external company takes care of all operations, maintenance, and development of IT infrastructure and applications. This option is often chosen by smaller companies that do not have sufficient financial resources or the need for an internal IT department.
-
PROJECT IT OUTSOURCING (Task-based services)
Project IT outsourcing is often used for short-term projects that require specific skills and knowledge of IT specialists, which internal teams often lack. It is ideal for companies that need to complete a specific project.
-
PARTIAL IT OUTSOURCING
Partial IT outsourcing is a hybrid approach where a company maintains part of its internal IT team but outsources specific activities, e.g., individual tasks or assembles teams for a certain type of work. This may include external management of certain applications, cloud services, or specialized support for specific technologies. This model is suitable for companies that want to maintain a certain degree of control over their IT operations while taking advantage of external experts.
-
BODY LEASING OUTSOURCING
Body leasing outsourcing is a model that focuses on outsourcing a specific part of work or certain tasks within IT operations. Instead of outsourcing entire projects, it specializes in outsourcing individual tasks or assembling a team for a certain type of work. This approach allows for flexibility and efficiency in using external resources.

Division of IT Specialist Outsourcing Based on Geographical Ties
-
ONSHORE
All parties (client, supplier, and the IT specialists themselves) are in the same country. This model is advantageous for projects where personal collaboration is needed, but it can be more expensive compared to outsourcing from cheaper countries.
-
NEARSHORE
IT specialists are in a different country than the client, but within a drivable or shorter "flight" distance and in the same or similar time zone. This outsourcing variant can represent significant financial savings, with it being relatively simple for entire teams to meet in person.
-
OFFSHORE
Specialists come from a country that is geographically and culturally distant from the client, which can bring low corporate costs, but also challenges associated with time differences.
What countries are clear choices for companies considering IT specialist outsourcing?
Talking about Nearshore outsourcing for European countries, there is a high demand for IT specialists from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. Outside of Europe, companies often collaborate with professionals from India, China, Brazil, or the Philippines.
