Tendelin Network
Procure and enlist quality-vetted IT consultancy companies from all over the world as easily and safely as if they were in Sweden.
Outsourcing is scary
With the grave shortage of IT specialists in Sweden (according to IT- och Telekomföretagen’s report Sweden will be 70,000 IT specialists short by 2022), outsourcing is often the only option for companies who need more than 1-3 assets within less than 3 months. This scarcity affects outsourcing companies too, making it hard to find all the assets you need in Sweden alone. If you really want the best people and you can’t wait forever, you may need to consider all options, including remote teams in foreign countries.
To most Swedish companies this would mean an entirely separate procurement process - one with greater uncertainty and more factors to consider.
Which companies should we approach and how?
Which legal terms should apply and what is reasonable?
How should we pay and what is a reasonable payment frequency?
Which currency should we pay in?
How do we mitigate currency exchange risks?
Will cultural differences be a problem?
Can we trust these people?
Procurement of outsourced IT services should be equally easy, regardless of where in the world the vendors are.
The Tendelin Network gives you a starting point for a successful procurement, providing a pool of companies you can trust, operating on terms you are familiar with, regardless of their location.
