Spread the Word

Software development outsourcing and augmentation can help you alleviate the work and pressure on your in-house team. Also, you can save time and money as well as access greater scalability. We at Intellisys Technology let you take advantage of these benefits whatever your software development project is.

To prove that software development outsourcing and augmentation work, we take a recap of our first review on Clutch, a B2B reviews website.

Intellisys Helps a Healthcare Wholesaler

EBRM, a healthcare wholesaler, had a major restructuring project that exceeded their budget. They wanted to rebuild a system with us because of our expertise and we were cost-effective.

Testing stalled the project at first, but we were able to solve that when we automated the testing process. The client also struggled with their old reporting system, so we also automated reporting.

Another challenge we faced was removing the clutter and the amount of paper that the transactions produced. To solve this problem, we created a solution that routed paperwork to the appropriate areas.

In the end, we were able to fill the gaps in the client’s work — they didn’t have the in-house expertise, so we came in and partnered them. The client has also been happy with the affordability of our services.

“What stands out is their cost. They’re affordable.” — Executive, EBRM

In this ongoing partnership, we make sure the client receives the best of outsourced software development services. They have access to great talent and the latest tech, focus on business, and cost-effectiveness.

We’re proud of what we’ve done for the client, but we’re also amazed by the confidence they have in us. Check out our Clutch page to read their full 5-star review.

Another review is also up on the page for the project we’ve done for a startup firm that needed design enhancement and integration features.

People moving away from Big Cities – Working Remote is the new normal

Spread the Word

Through any life crisis comes insight into what is important to us, what we no longer need and what we want for the future; the same applies to business and our careers. Cities are unaffordable for many, for several reasons, such as exorbitant cost of living (Rent, food, transportation, miscellaneous expenses), high local and state taxes. To add fuel to the fire the COVID pandemic is forcing us to rethink and reprioritize our needs.

It is prudent to look for alternatives – for health and economic safety by cutting living costs and taxes.  Across USA city migration patterns have changed since the new normal, namely ”Working Remote” model is in effect. New data shows that net arrivals are down in large metro areas such as New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston and Portland from April through August of this year, versus a year earlier.

Migration from big cities is creating opportunities for smaller cities such as Jacksonville, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Missouri, have seen the biggest growth in net arrivals over the same period. City migration patterns amid the pandemic found that smaller metro areas are gaining; some famous big cities are slipping and hints of de-urbanization seen across the country.

Net arrivals in two giant metro areas — New York City and San Francisco — have fallen more than 20% from April through August of this year, versus a year earlier. In both cases, departures significantly exceeded new arrivals. Net arrivals are down about 10% in Seattle, Boston and Portland, Ore., as well.  Everyone leaving a metro area is creating opportunities for a number of smaller cities.

Working remote is the new normal.

Remote working is here to stay and will more than ever become an integral part of the way we work. Now is the time for companies to prepare for this ‘back to the new normal’. As you prepare for the new normal and realize that people can be as productive at home as they are at work, why not consider a long-term remote working plan?

U.S. adds more jobs than forecast in June – Bloomberg

Spread the Word

The rebound in the U.S. labor market accelerated in June as broader re-openings spurred more hiring last month, though filings for unemployment benefits remained elevated last week as coronavirus cases picked up

Payrolls rose by 4.8 million in June after an upwardly revised 2.7 million gain in the prior month, according to a Labor Department report Thursday. The unemployment rate fell for a second month to 11.1%, still far above the pre-pandemic half-century low of 3.5%.

Economists had forecast payrolls to rise by 3.23 million—the median in a range of 500,000 to 9 million—and an unemployment rate of 12.5%.
