[Lonus Technologies: Your Internet Solution]

Present Situation
An IT consultancy company with 6 employees needs to provide the software development for a newly proposed IT solution to the customer. The company has the following choices:

• Recruitment of additional software developers, which is time consuming, results in cost increases and more complicated management
• Impose higher demands on the existing staff to work harder, possibly even not in their own fields of specialisation, which results in negative effects on company culture, increasing staff turnover, and higher probability of project failure
• Sub-contract software development to an outsourcing company, where the potential risks can be avoided and compensated by finding an adequate partner.

Future Situation
A software outsourcing agreement is signed with Lonus Technologies AS. The IT consultancy company gets a committed and competent partner for the accomplishment of high quality, cost saving and timely software development in order to deliver a final IT solution to the end-customer.

Consequently, the IT consultancy company solves the development team staffing and HR management problems. Lonus also commits itself to ensure the development of the solution using the standards and methodologies of the IT consultancy company. This allows them to focus more on their core expertise in consultancy and project management.

Furthermore, the IT consultancy company feels secure, because they can check the development of the project on a regular basis by accessing Lonus development servers through the Internet.
