Resourcing Options
Off-Site Teams – where space, resources or management time is an issue, RDF can provide fully managed teams, using mirrored or linked environments, operating from our own premises across the UK. We also have off-shore and near-shore partners supporting a range of disciplines.
On-Site Teams – RDF can deliver on-site teams via our hybrid product portfolio of software development and recruitment expertise.
Flexible Resource Pool – an alternative to the traditional recruitment conundrum (where you are forced to commit to full time resources), our Flexible Resource Pool is a ring-fenced team of RDF staff offered at lower utilisation levels. We provide you with the same resources, with consistent availability, thereby retaining the knowledge of your systems, business and environment that you would lose when contract resources return to the open market.
