For example, In 2025, the large investment company Schroders outsourced its network services, support service, desktop support, and service architecture. The company plans to save £150 million over two years thanks to outsourcing and other transformation measures.

In general, with the right approach, outsourcing can powerfully hack growth or even radically change a business. In many cases, it makes more sense not to expand the staff, but to transfer some functions to a reliable outsourcing partner. So, here is another non-obvious way to not only reduce costs, but also achieve success in the market.

With IoT companies gain real-time visibility into location, engine performance, fuel use, and environmental conditions. This visibility shifts operations from reactive to predictive. It also enables faster decision-making and […]
AKDev Group is a leading software development company in Georgia. 2025 was a year of deep specialization. If I could sum it up in one phrase, it would be “from recognizing competencies to scaling them.”
