Introduction
Info Services, a dynamic IT consulting and software development company, was scaling its operations to meet the increasing demands of its global client base. To accelerate project delivery without extending its permanent workforce, Info Services sought to implement a Staff Augmentation model, providing skilled resources on-demand to fill critical gaps.
