What It Is
Project resourcing that fits how you deliver work
Project resourcing and outsourcing is about adding specialist capacity to your team, or delegating whole workstreams, while retaining visibility and control. Instead of scrambling to recruit, you can tap into a proven engineering team that already knows how to deliver software.
-
Augment existing teams with engineers who work inside your delivery process.
-
Stand up cross-functional squads for specific products or workstreams.
-
Outsource well-defined projects end-to-end with clear outcomes.
-
Access skills that are hard to hire or justify full-time in-house.
-
Smooth out peaks in demand without long-term headcount commitments.
Complement, don’t replace, your team
Delivery first, then headcount
ERS is not a “body shop”. We provide engineers, leads and squads that understand product thinking, integration, testing and operations. The goal is to help your internal team succeed, not to supplant it.
Why It Matters
Why organisations look for flexible software resourcing
Most technology teams are balancing a full roadmap with change projects, compliance work and unplanned demand. Flexible resourcing gives you room to manoeuvre without losing momentum or burning out key people.
-
Handle urgent initiatives when internal teams are already at capacity.
-
Bring in specific skills – mobile, integration, cloud, data – for a defined period.
-
Reduce delivery risk on critical projects by pairing with an experienced partner.
-
Bridge gaps while you recruit permanent hires or restructure teams.
-
Control costs by flexing capacity up and down instead of fixed headcount.
Avoid the stop–start delivery cycle
Continuity when priorities shift
Use Cases
Where project resourcing makes the biggest impact
While every organisation is different, we see recurring scenarios where adding ERS capacity unlocks progress and reduces risk across programmes and portfolios.
Accelerating Strategic Projects
Large change programmes often need more hands than internal teams can spare. ERS teams help deliver critical milestones without derailing business-as-usual work.
Digital transformation & modernisation
Handling Peak Demand
Seasonal peaks, compliance deadlines or major rollouts can’t always be met by permanent headcount alone. Temporary capacity bridges the gap without long-term commitment.
Regulated & time-bound initiatives
Specialist Integration Work
Integrating new systems, cloud platforms or bespoke applications often requires specialised skills. ERS brings that expertise without you having to build a permanent team.
Middleware, APIs & data flows
Maintaining & Evolving Legacy Systems
Keep essential legacy applications stable and supported while internal teams focus on new initiatives. ERS manages enhancements, fixes and small changes over time.
Line-of-business systems & platforms
Supporting New Product Teams
When launching or scaling a product, you may need extra engineering capacity before you can hire and onboard a full in-house team. ERS fills the gap while you grow.
Product & innovation initiatives
Public Sector & Enterprise Programmes
Large organisations often need partners who understand governance, security and procurement. ERS is used to working in structured environments with clear controls.

How ERS supports your software projects
ERS offers a range of engagement models to match your context – from embedded engineers to fully managed project delivery. You can start small and adjust the mix over time as needs change.
Team Augmentation
Add ERS engineers to your existing teams. They work with your tooling, ceremonies and leadership, helping to clear backlogs and deliver features faster without disrupting your ways of working.
Dedicated Delivery Squads
Cross-functional squads – typically including developers, QA and a delivery lead – focused on a product, workstream or integration. You get a ready-made team with its own cadence and accountability.
Fully Managed Projects
ERS takes responsibility for delivering a defined outcome – such as an integration, a new application or a workflow automation – while you stay close to design and governance decisions.
Interim Technical & Delivery Leadership
Experienced solution architects and delivery leads who can shape work, mentor teams and bring structure to programmes while permanent roles are being filled or scaled.
Hybrid Engagement Models
A tailored combination of augmentation and managed delivery – for example, an ERS-led squad working alongside client teams with shared ownership of components and services.
Benefits
What you gain by partnering with ERS

-
Flexible engagement lengths – from short bursts to multi-year relationships.
-
Continuity of knowledge over time, reducing risk when individuals move on.
-
Clear cost visibility with predictable monthly resourcing models.
-
Strong focus on quality, testing and maintainable code – not quick fixes.
-
Irish-based partner who understands regulatory, security and governance expectations.
How We Work
A practical, transparent engagement approach
Our goal is to make it easy for you to plug ERS into your organisation, start delivering value quickly and adjust the model as your needs evolve. The process is structured but flexible.
1 Understand
Needs & context
We gather information about your projects, roadmap, current team, skills gaps and constraints, and agree what “good” looks like for a resourcing partnership.
2 Shape
Engagement model
Together we decide whether augmentation, a dedicated squad, managed delivery or a hybrid setup is the best fit, and define roles, time commitment and governance.
3 Onboard
Team ramp-up
ERS engineers are introduced to your tools, processes and stakeholders. We agree communication channels, ceremonies and documentation standards upfront.
4 Deliver
Execution & cadence
Work is delivered in predictable iterations with regular demos and status updates. We track progress against agreed goals, not just hours spent.
5 Review
Adjust & optimise
At agreed intervals we review performance, capacity and priorities, then refine the mix of skills and responsibilities to match your evolving needs.
6 Retain
Knowledge & continuity
We document systems and decisions, pair ERS engineers with internal staff where appropriate, and make sure knowledge is retained even if individuals change.
Need extra hands on critical software projects?
Whether you’re facing a delivery crunch, a skills gap or a new initiative that needs capacity, ERS can provide a resourcing model that supports your teams and protects quality.
FAQs
Project resourcing questions we’re often asked
Is there a minimum engagement size or duration?
We aim to be flexible. Some clients begin with a small engagement – for example one or two engineers for a few months – and expand once value is proven. We’ll agree sensible minimums so the team has enough time and context to be effective.
Where are ERS engineers based and how do they work with our team?
Our engineering team is based in Ireland. We typically work as an extension of your team, joining your stand-ups, planning sessions and using your collaboration tools, while also bringing our own structure and practices where helpful.
How do you make sure knowledge isn’t lost when projects end?
We prioritise documentation, code quality and shared understanding from the start. Handover plans, knowledge transfer sessions and joint delivery with in-house staff mean you aren’t dependent on any single individual.
How is this different from generic offshoring or “body shopping”?
ERS provides a managed, accountable engineering capability – not just individual contractors. You get access to a stable team with shared standards, backed by our software delivery experience and local presence, and we stay involved in ensuring outcomes are met.
