Ready, Set, Go with ReleaseTEAM!

Welcome 2008! The ReleaseTEAM sales staff has been working hard in the "off season" to line up the very best CM professionals. That means now, more than ever, we are poised and prepared to deliver the highest quality CM support, and that means quantifiable results for YOU!

While it is often true that the hourly compensation rate for a consultant can exceed that of a full-time employee, there are many other costs associated with full-time employees that need to be included in your evaluation.
Here are a few costs you can avoid by hiring a ReleaseTEAM consultant:
  • Health Benefits
  • Sick Leave and Vacation Pay
  • Payroll Burden Taxes
  • Pension Plans
  • Fringe Benefits
  • Human Resource Costs
  • Termination Expenses
  • Equipment and Materials
  • Insurance Premiums
You also garner swift results by supporting your CM staff with ReleaseTEAM experts, who require little ramp up time and provide expertise in specific build/release or configuration management projects.

Up next month: 10 ways to ensure your outsourcing is a success!

Every day, the Rational User heroically teams with IBM Rational to combat the evil forces of information isolation, data overload, poor processes, and barriers to distance and language.

But, we know that winning in today's geographically distributed world takes more than just individual heroics. It takes Collaboration! Effective Organizational Ability! Teamwork! Once again, it's time to join the League of Extraordinary Software Developers at the IBM Rational Software Development Conference 2008, June 1 - 5, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel. Yes, Rational User, look to the skies! The R-Signal is sweeping across the clouds with the challenge: R-U Ready To Save The Day?
