The holidays bring higher profits from sales but also complications due to massive demand. We’ll show you why outsourcing IT talent can help you overcome unexpected challenges.
Many brands face the same dilemma between Black Friday and the end of December: How can they handle the massive surge in demand without compromising the quality of their service?
Profits for UK in-store and online stores will reach £88 billion during this year’s Christmas season. In Germany, people are expected to spend a similar amount, around £73 billion. Furthermore, in the US, retail profits will reach an all-time high in November and December: $979.5 billion to $989 billion.
This surge in demand may lead to several problems. For example, increased e-commerce traffic can cause a website to slow down or crash. However, brands should keep in mind that a page that loads in 1 second converts 2.5 times more visitors than one that loads in 5 seconds.
Therefore, the key to success in today’s market is having enough IT staff in the company. Deloitte recommends that companies take a flexible approach to their talent acquisition strategy.
Many successful companies use external contractors. Instead of dedicating themselves to finding and then training an internal workforce, they can deploy IT talent where their expertise is needed most. Meanwhile, the internal team focuses on the most challenging and interesting work.
This makes outsourcing specialists who focus on critical IT functions an effective advantage, especially during the holiday rush. With it, companies can increase buyer satisfaction, ensure competitive results, and relieve stress on the internal team.
The speed with which specialists can be deployed to IT projects is another reason why interest in outsourcing is on the rise. It’s also popular with small brands that otherwise couldn’t afford to pay full-time IT professionals and don’t need as many staff during the rest of the year. Once they get through the busy season, they can easily switch back to their previous mode with their own team.
