When companies conquer global markets, they face not only an influx of customers and revenue growth, but also limitations of rapid growth. The burden on the company increases, and processes can begin to break down.
However, all successful companies cope with this. The secret is in competent outsourcing.
Outsourcing is a whole separate market. In the USA, it was formed in the 80-90s. With its help, companies quickly scaled entire functions, reduced costs, and sometimes completely changed their business model.
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. A crucial growth hack is to audit your development spending, as the true cost of an in-house team is often higher than it appears.
Slack outsourced the design of its interface and mobile app in 2013-2014, which helped to atract $250 million in investment and grow its paid users to 3 million. To accelerate growth, bringing in an IT consultant early on is essential to sidestep expensive technical debt and strategic missteps.
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.
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.”
There is no single best software for every company. If no existing product matches your unique workflow, custom development is worth considering.
